Terminal and Chart Guide
العربيةLearn to inspect price, timeframes, overlays, volume profile, block-trade markers, options ratios, and news context.
Video walkthrough
A chart shows how price moved, but you also need liquidity, company information, options activity, and news to understand the stock. The terminal brings these together so you can examine one symbol without repeatedly switching pages. Start with price, then use the panels that answer your next question.
What the page shows
| Field or control | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Symbol and timeframe | Define the instrument and horizon; a level can change meaning across intraday, daily, and weekly views. |
| Candles and volume | Show price range and traded activity for each interval. |
| Volume profile and POC | Estimate where activity concentrated by price; they are zones, not exact barriers. |
| AVWAP and levels | Anchor average price to an event or reference point and compare price acceptance around it. |
| Block-trade markers | Plot reported large prints with their source time and condition context. |
| Options and news panels | Add derivative positioning and catalysts without treating them as substitutes for price confirmation. |
Recommended workflow
- Search the exact symbol and confirm the quote and session.
- Choose a timeframe that matches the intended holding period.
- Mark structure before enabling extra overlays.
- Inspect volume, profile, AVWAP, and reported prints for agreement or conflict.
- Open related news and options evidence when the move needs a catalyst or positioning explanation.
- Define entry, invalidation, and target from visible structure, then recheck freshness.
How to interpret the result
- A level confirmed on several relevant timeframes is more useful than a crowded chart.
- Overlay agreement is strongest when the inputs are independent and similarly fresh.
- A marker identifies an event or calculation; it does not guarantee the next candle.
Common mistakes
- Mixing weekly analysis with a very short-dated trade without reconciling horizons.
- Adding many correlated indicators and counting them as separate confirmation.
- Using stale quotes or delayed prints as live triggers.
Risk and limitations
Related guides
Start a stock review
Choose the symbol and decide whether price is trending or ranging. Identify nearby support and resistance, then read liquidity and news. Add only indicators that answer a question, comparing the timestamps across panels.
Market mood and macro context
The market-mood card compares the broad market and its risk backdrop. The macro card summarizes the displayed sector or market instruments. Use them to ask whether your stock is moving with the market or on its own. Read any unavailable or delayed-data message before comparing the cards with the stock chart.
Financial health
Read the grade with net debt relative to market value, revenue change, operating-cash-flow change, and filing age. These figures describe financial statements, not live trading strength. Quarter-to-quarter changes depend on the compared periods, and missing data must not be read as zero. A fund may not have the same company-financial measures.
Liquidity
Spread is the gap between the best displayed buying and selling quotes. A wider gap can make entry and exit more costly. Relative volume compares activity with its reference level. Read both alongside the quote time; neither a narrow spread nor high activity guarantees a fill at the displayed price.
Earnings and dividends
Check earnings and dividend labels before holding through an event. Read whether a date is confirmed, projected, past, or unavailable rather than treating every displayed date as a confirmed appointment. A dividend date and an earnings release describe different events; open the available details and verify important dates with the company.
Options ratios
The options card separates put/call contract volume, open interest, and premium ratios. They answer different questions and need not agree. IV rank describes implied volatility within its reference range, while the unusual count counts qualifying activity. Check the as-of date and open the options chain from the card for contract details. None of these ratios alone reveals a participant's complete hedge or direction.
Watchlist and chart workspace
Use the symbol search to load a stock and the timeframe buttons to choose candle duration. Select only the indicators you need from the indicators menu. The watchlist lets you switch between saved symbols without retyping them. Layout controls organize the workspace; they do not change what the market data means. If a symbol cannot load, read the error and choose a supported symbol or a saved watchlist item.
News, signals, and block trades
Review the stock's news, radar signals, and large reported trades next to the chart. Match each item to its timestamp and read its source or condition. A chart marker, radar row, and alert may describe the same event, so do not count them as three independent confirmations. Open the relevant full tool whenever the compact panel does not show enough detail.
Turn chart indicators on and adjust them
Choose the symbol and timeframe first, then open Indicators. A period counts candles in the selected timeframe, not necessarily days. Add an indicator to answer a specific question; extra lines do not automatically improve a decision.
Moving averages: MA
- Enable MA to show simple moving averages on price.
- Click the period in an MA chip, enter a candle count, then press Enter or click outside the field to apply. Escape cancels editing.
- Use + to add another average and × beside an average to remove only that line. Its chip color matches its line. Removing the final average turns the MA display off.
A twenty-candle average on an hourly timeframe is not a twenty-day average. The line may start after the first visible candles because it needs enough history.
Bollinger Bands
- Enable Bollinger to show the middle line and the two price bands.
- Click the parameter numbers beside its name. Period controls the candle count; the multiplier controls the width around the average.
- Apply with the button or Enter. A larger multiplier widens the bands with other settings unchanged; it does not change price.
MACD
- Enable MACD to show its separate panel below price.
- Click its parameter numbers to edit the fast, slow and signal periods.
- Apply with the button or Enter. This recalculates the indicator lines and histogram, not the stock's candles.
RSI
- Enable RSI to show its momentum panel.
- Click its parameters to edit the calculation period and upper and lower levels.
- Apply with the button or Enter. The period changes the calculation; the levels change its reference lines. Reaching either level is not an instruction to trade.
Uncheck an indicator to hide it. If a line does not appear, wait for candles to load and check that enough history is available for its period. Inputs are constrained to supported ranges, so review the numbers after applying. Changing timeframe changes the duration of the candles used; readings from different timeframes are not interchangeable.
Page components explained
Company profile
Open this card to review locally stored company details such as sector, industry, country, index membership and market value. An unavailable label means the local record does not contain that field.
Trading fit
Compare the day, swing and options scores to see which style best matches the stock's latest local scan. A missing score is different from a real zero.
Financial health
Compare net debt with market value, then revenue and operating cash flow changes between quarters. Open the details for the underlying figures and filing date. Missing or old reports limit the comparison; the grade is not a price target.
Liquidity and spread
The spread is the gap between Bid and Ask. A wider gap can make entry and exit more expensive. Relative volume compares current activity with its reference; read it with the time of day and source freshness.
Earnings and dividends
Check the next earnings event and dividend dates before planning a trade. Distinguish confirmed dates from estimates. The ex-dividend date and payment date serve different purposes; open the details rather than relying on the card alone.
Options activity
Put/Call ratios compare puts with calls by volume, open interest or premium. They answer different questions. Read the basis and date beside each value; a high put ratio can reflect hedging as well as a bearish view.
Shariah screening
The card summarizes the available AAOIFI screening result. Open the reasons and check the instrument type. Review required or unavailable does not mean compliant; an ETF is not screened in the same way as an individual company's stock.
Choose a stock
Search by symbol, then select the intended stock. Changing it updates the chart and its related cards and tabs. Confirm the displayed symbol before interpreting a result.
Candle timeframe
The timeframe controls how much time each candle represents. A daily candle summarizes a whole session, while intraday candles show shorter moves. A signal on one timeframe need not agree with another.
Chart indicators
Turn on the overlays you need, such as moving averages, anchored VWAP, volume profile or gamma levels. Each adds a different view of price or activity. Keep only the indicators that answer your current question.
Price chart
Use the candles to place the current price within its recent range. Compare a highlighted level with price reaction and trading activity; touching a line alone does not confirm a reversal or breakout.
Mark levels on the chart
Choose a trend line, a horizontal price level or a vertical time marker. These are your own annotations, not signals from the platform. The delete control removes your chart annotations; it does not change market data.
Largest displayed trades
This list draws attention to larger reported trades. Compare their size and timing with the chart. Size alone does not identify the trader or prove buying intent.
Gamma and delta levels
These overlays place options exposure beside the stock price. Check the selected expiry coverage and source date. Call Wall and Put Wall are reference levels, not guaranteed barriers.
Volume at price
The volume profile shows where the displayed activity is concentrated by price. Check the selected volume source before comparing it with candle volume; they may cover different trades.
MACD momentum
MACD compares moving averages to describe momentum. Compare its direction with price rather than treating one crossing as a complete trade plan.
RSI momentum
RSI puts recent price momentum on a bounded scale. High or low readings can persist during strong trends, so compare them with the price structure.
Your stock watchlist
Choose a list, add a symbol, then select a stock to bring it into the chart. Price and percentage change help compare the list at a glance; use the full watchlist page to organize it.
Stock and options signals
Use the tabs to distinguish stock signals from options signals. Check the signal time, direction and timeframe, then open its details. Several signals can describe the same move rather than independent confirmations.
News for this stock
Read the headline, publication time and source, then open the article. Sentiment summarizes the wording; it does not measure how much of the news the price has already absorbed.
Options flow for this stock
This tab keeps reported options trades beside the underlying chart. Compare the contract, expiry, premium and execution side. A call trade may be sold or part of a multi-leg position, so the contract type alone is not direction.
Contract momentum for this stock
Read each contract's signal time and score alongside its expiry and liquidity. A maximum percentage move describes a recorded move, not a return you could necessarily have captured.
Language
Use the flag to switch the interface language. Check the currency shown on subscription and payment pages after changing language; trading symbols keep their original spelling.
Light and dark mode
Choose the appearance that makes text and chart details comfortable to read. Changing the theme affects the display, not the underlying data or signals.
Page layout
Use this control to change the available page layout. It changes how much space the interface uses, not the meaning of the displayed values.
