The chart - candles, your levels and the live result
Press CHART and a chart for the armed stock opens in a browser window, drawn with TradingView's Lightweight Charts. It shows the ladder's own levels, so the two always agree, and because it runs in the browser, the trading engine never waits for it.

A chart, in your browser
Press CHART, and the chart opens in a browser window, drawn by TradingView's Lightweight Charts. It follows the same stock as the ladder, and draws the ladder's own levels, so the two always agree. And because it runs in the browser, separate from the trading engine, the engine never waits for it. Every indicator and level is here, in Lite.
What it shows
The top lines repeat the ladder's plan, and the trail status. Level names sit on the left of the chart, and the live price line on the right carries the open profit or loss. Volume bars run underneath, coloured with their candles.
The controls
Pick the candle timeframe: thirty seconds, one, three, five, ten or thirty minutes, or one hour. FIT LEVELS brings every level into the price scale, even a target far away. AUTO SCALE makes the price axis follow the visible candles, and AUTO SCROLL keeps the newest bar in view. SAVE VIEW remembers your view, and RESET goes back to it. The saved view covers the timeframe, vertical zoom, FIT LEVELS, AUTO SCALE and AUTO SCROLL.
Indicator chips
Each active indicator shows as a chip with its current value. Click a chip to turn that indicator off. Volume bars and the rail labels can be switched off the same way.
Local, and offline
The chart is served on your own computer only: nothing is exposed to the network. Times on the chart are your computer's local time. The first press downloads the chart library once; after that it works offline. You can choose which browser opens it, in the settings file. The desk keeps a limited history per stock, so very long indicators cannot draw on every timeframe, and the chip says so.
