When analyzing the market, every second counts. Standard timeframes like 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 1 hour may not always align with your trading strategy. That’s where custom timeframes come in.
With StocksTrader's web terminal, you can tailor chart timeframes to match your unique trading approach. Whether you're a scalper needing precise short-term insights or a swing trader looking for optimized trend analysis, custom timeframes allow you to:
- Adapt the chart to your strategy – fine-tune time intervals to see price movements more clearly.
- Identify hidden patterns – discover trends that may not be visible on standard timeframes.
- Improve decision-making – reduce noise or add more detail depending on your market perspective.
We’ll walk you through the steps to set up custom timeframes in StocksTrader:
1. Select the timeframe button. First, you'll see the standard default timeframes (1 tick, 1 minute, 1 day, etc.).
2. Scroll to the bottom to set up your custom timeframe. Select a value – number and interval:
- T - tick
- M - minute
- H - hour
- D - day
- W - week
- MN - month
3. Save your custom timeframe by pressing the "OK" button. It will then appear among the default options.
4. Delete a custom timeframe easily by pressing the X.
