### Top bar — left side

| What you see                  | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Symbol**                    | Opens a list or search to **change the instrument** (for example BTCUSDT). On some screens the list may be filtered by a screener or signal context.                                        |
| **Timeframe**                 | Opens intervals from **1 minute** up to **3 days** (labels like 1m, 5m, 1h, 1D). Pick how much time each candle covers.                                                                     |
| **Chart type**                | Switches between **Candlestick** and **Footprint** styles. Footprint has three views: **Bid×Ask**, **Delta**, and **Volume**. See the Footprint help to understand what you are looking at. |
| **Status**                    | Live connection / readiness at a glance.                                                                                                                                                    |
| **B / A / R / S** (sometimes) | Quick **order book** stats when the Order Book panel is turned on — bid size, ask size, ratio, spread.                                                                                      |

### Top bar — right side (typical desktop)

* **Drawing tools** — On phones, opens a **drawing** menu. On a desktop, drawings are usually on the **strip to the left of the chart** (see below).
* **Indicators** — Opens a list to **turn studies on or off**. Fine-tuning (periods, colors, extra options) is done in the **floating panel on the chart** after a study is enabled.
* **Trade on exchange** — Opens the broker/exchange site in a new tab (for example, Binance or Exness), depending on your data source.
* **Widgets** — Choose which **side panels** appear (order book, DOM, depth profile, whales, walls).
* **Orderbook heatmap** — Shows or hides the **liquidity heatmap** behind the candles. When it is on, a **slider** often appears to focus the depth range.
* **Bar replay** — Steps through **past candles** like a video. A **control bar** appears at the bottom; see Advanced features.
* **Reset view** — Brings the chart back toward the **latest bars** if you have panned or zoomed away.
* **Snapshot** — **Save** or **copy** a picture of the chart (with a header). Shortcuts are listed in Keyboard shortcuts.
* **Alerts** — Opens **price/condition alerts** where your plan supports them.
* **Layout** — **Save, load, rename**, or duplicate **layouts** (your tools + drawings + panel choices). **Autosave** can keep the current layout updated for you.

On **mobile**, extra actions are grouped under **More (⋯)**.

***

### Strip to the left of the chart (desktop)

Here, you choose **drawing tools**: trend lines, Fibonacci, horizontal lines, channels, text, shapes, position boxes, and more.

* Click a tool, then **click or drag on the chart** to place it.
* To stop placing, switch back to the **cursor** (pointer) tool.

On **mobile**, the same tools appear in a **bottom sheet** with search and categories.

***

### The chart and legend

* The **large area** is the live chart. **Drag** to pan, use the **wheel or pinch** to zoom (exact gesture depends on your device).
* The **legend** (usually top-left on the chart) shows **symbol**, **timeframe**, and **exchange**. When you move the crosshair over candles, it can show **open, high, low, close**, **change**, and **volume** when available.

***

### Small pop-ups on the chart

* **Indicator panel** — When at least one study is on, a panel may float on the chart with **sliders and toggles** for that study. You can move it so it does not cover important prices.
* **Tooltips** — Hovering over certain features (heatmap cells, footprint cells, some profiles) can show a **detail bubble**.
* **Drawing editor** — Clicking something you drew may open **color, text, dashed line**, or **delete** options.

***

### Timeframe and chart type menus

Click **outside** the menu or choose an item to **close** the dropdown.

**Next:** Side panels (widgets)
