Timeframes

From one-second scalping bars to the weekly trend.

A full range of timeframes, grouped from seconds to weeks. Notably, the platform exposes a complete seconds tier — something most charting tools don’t offer — for scalpers and for studying micro-structure.

How it works

Pick a timeframe from the selector in the chart toolbar. Higher timeframes are aggregated from the underlying candle stream, so switching is fast and consistent. When you change timeframe, your tools and drawings re-align to the new candles automatically.

Note: The seconds tier is best on liquid instruments during active sessions. On very low-activity periods, sub-second movement simply won’t fill every bar.
Tip: Analyze top-down — set bias on the higher timeframe, then drop down to execute. The Multi-Timeframe Confluence tool does this read for you automatically.
