Trade Marking

The Trade Marking feature enhances candlestick charts by visually marking your trades across historical data periods. This tool helps you better analyze past orders and trading activity.

1.1 How to access the feature

  • Stock quotes page > More icon > Chart Markings > Trade Marking

1.2 Description

1.2.1 The Trade Marking feature can help you add visual symbols for your trades and price levels.

1) Trade Markings: Arrow icons indicate trades on the chart ('B' for buys, 'S' for sells, and 'T' for intraday trades), positioned above the corresponding candle without showing the exact fill price

  • Intervals: Trade markings can be applied to various candlestick intervals such as minute, hour, intraday, 5-day, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly charts.

2) Price Markings: Dot icons (red for buys, green for sells, purple for intraday trades) display the average fill price for transactions directly on the chart.

  • Intervals: Price markings can be applied to minute, hour, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly candlestick intervals.

  • Candlestick charts will display markings related to orders and trades only after an order has been executed. If no order is filled, no markings will appear.
  • For GTC (Good Till Canceled) orders, there may be a delay between the placement of an order and its execution. This delay can result in a discrepancy in the timing of order markings when compared to trade markings.
