Trading Chart: Your Window Into Price Action
At the heart of Tradeview lies the trading chart, a dynamic visualization of asset price movements over user-defined timeframes. This tool is essential for conducting technical analysis and identifying potential entry and exit points.
Customizable Timeframes & Chart Types
Located at the top panel of the chart, traders can select from various time intervals—ranging from 1 minute to 3 days—to observe short-term volatility or longer-term trends. You can also switch between different chart styles:
- Candlestick charts (default): Show open, high, low, and close prices within each period; widely used due to their visual richness.
- Bar charts: Similar to candlesticks but less visually distinct.
- Line charts: Simplified representation ideal for spotting broad trends.

Technical Indicators and Drawing Tools
Above the chart, a toolbar provides access to numerous technical indicators, empowering traders to forecast future price movements. Popular options include:
- Relative Strength Index (RSI): Measures momentum and identifies overbought or oversold conditions.
- Moving Averages (MA): Smooths price data to highlight trend direction.
- Ichimoku Cloud: Offers a holistic view of support, resistance, momentum, and trend direction.
On the left side of the chart, drawing tools allow traders to annotate the chart with trendlines, Fibonacci retracements, measurement rulers, and text notes—critical for planning strategies based on historical patterns.
Trades Box: Real-Time Transaction Feed
Positioned on the left side of the interface, the trades box displays a live feed of all recently executed trades on the Bitstamp by Robinhood platform. Each row represents a single transaction and includes three key pieces of information:
- Amount: The quantity of cryptocurrency bought or sold.
- Price: The execution price in fiat (e.g., USD or EUR).
- Time: When the trade was completed.
Color coding enhances readability:
🟢 Green entries indicate buy trades (price increases).
🔴 Red entries reflect sell trades (price decreases).
This real-time log helps traders gauge market sentiment and detect sudden surges in buying or selling pressure.
Order Book: Tracking Market Liquidity
Located beneath the depth chart, the order book lists all active limit orders that haven’t yet been filled. It’s divided into two sides:
- Bids (green): Buy orders—what traders are willing to pay.
- Asks (red): Sell orders—what sellers are asking for.
Each entry shows:
- Amount: Quantity of crypto available at that price.
- Price: The specified limit price.
- Total: Cumulative value of the order (price × amount).
- Sum: Running total of all orders at or below (for bids) or above (for asks) that level.
For example, a bid at $69,314.41 for 4 BTC means a trader wants to buy 4 bitcoins at that rate, totaling $277,257.64. The sum column aggregates all such bids or asks cumulatively.
A narrow spread between the highest bid and lowest ask suggests strong liquidity and market efficiency.
Depth Chart: Visualizing Supply vs Demand
The depth chart transforms raw order book data into an intuitive visual format, revealing where large clusters of buy or sell interest lie.
How It Works
- The green line represents cumulative buy orders (demand).
- The red line shows cumulative sell orders (supply).
- The point where the two lines come closest indicates the current market price.
Steep slopes mean large volumes are needed to shift prices—indicating strong support or resistance. Flat areas suggest thinner order density and easier price movement.
Vertical spikes, known as "walls," signal significant order clusters at specific price levels. A large green wall may act as strong support; a red wall could represent strong resistance.
Understanding depth charts helps anticipate breakouts or reversals based on underlying market structure.
Order Placement Panel: Execute Trades With Precision
On the right-hand side, Tradeview features a full-featured order placement panel that supports multiple order types:
- Market Orders: Buy/sell instantly at the best available price.
- Limit Orders: Set a specific price at which you want to trade.
- Stop Orders: Trigger a market or limit order when price reaches a set level (useful for stop-losses).
As one of the few regulated exchanges supporting direct fiat-to-crypto trading, Bitstamp by Robinhood allows purchases using USD and EUR. Supported assets include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), The Sandbox (SAND), and even a EUR/USD fiat pair.
Below this panel, you’ll find your list of open orders, which can be filtered by:
- All currency pairs
- Only the currently selected pair
Note: These functions require login access.
