§02 CHARTS - TIMEFRAMES

15 timeframes — from 10-second scalp tape to all-time monthly. Select from the toolbar row above the chart or use number-key shortcuts.

Access: CHARTS → ... [ Timeframe ] button in the toolbar.

Every chart panel has an independent timeframe. Switch using the toolbar row, number keys 1–9, or by typing a timeframe into the command palette (⌘K). VWAP renders automatically on intraday intervals and hides on 1D and above. Pre-market and after-hours data is toggled in Settings → Chart Defaults.

VWAP Behaviour

VWAP renders automatically on all intraday intervals (10s → 4H). It is hidden on 1D and above — this is by design, not a bug.

VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price) is a trading indicator that calculates the average price a security has traded at, weighted by volume. It's useful for assessing whether a price is high or low relative to its average, and is commonly used by institutional traders to determine optimal entry/exit points.

Extended Hours

Pre-market (4:00–9:30 AM ET) and after-hours (4:00–8:00 PM ET) data is off by default. Enable in Settings → Chart Defaults. Extended hours bars appear as dimmed candles outside regular session boundaries.
