How to read forex trading charts
To read advanced and currency trading charts, you need to understand the two axes: the vertical (Y) axis displays the asset’s price or exchange rate, while the horizontal (X) axis tracks time.
You can then evaluate price action over chosen timeframes (e.g., 5-minute, hourly, or daily) using standard structures like line, bar, or candlestick charts to identify uptrends, downtrends, support, and resistance levels.
Technical indicators and symbol comparison
Choose from over 65+ popular TradingView technical indicators, including Moving Averages, MACD, Bollinger Bands®, Stochastics, Ichimoku Cloud, Volume, Aroon, Balance of Power and Donchian Channels.
You can also compare symbols side by side to see relative performance directly on the chart.
