# Overview

### What this screen is for

The **Chart Terminal** is where you view **price candles**, turn on **studies** (indicators), optional **order flow** views (heatmap, footprint, and similar tools), and **draw** on the chart. Data updates in real time for supported markets (for example, crypto futures on the default connection).

You use it to:

* Watch **price and volume** on a chosen **symbol** and **timeframe**.
* Add **technical indicators** and **drawings** to mark levels and scenarios.
* Optionally open **side panels** for depth, large orders, or liquidity views.
* **Save** a favorite combination of tools and drawings as a **layout** (on the full terminal page).

***

### One chart vs two charts (desktop)

On a **wide enough screen**, you can switch to a **split view** and run **two charts at once** (for example, BTC on one side and ETH on the other). Each side has its **own** symbol and timeframe.

On a **narrow screen** (typical phone), the app shows **one** chart, so everything stays readable.

Use the control on the layout (when available) to return to a **single** chart when you are done comparing.

***

### Connection status

Near the symbol and timeframe, you may see a **small colored dot** and a short **status** text. That tells you whether live data looks connected or is catching up. If something looks stuck, try **refreshing the page** or checking your network.

***

### Light and dark theme

The chart follows the app’s **theme** (light or dark). If you change the theme in settings, the chart colors update to match.

**Next:** Toolbar & main chart
