Chart
Toolbar
Every control in the chart toolbar, from left to right, and which panel each one changes.
The toolbar runs across the top of the chart. On a desktop it has two halves:
- The left half changes the selected panel. Click or press on a panel to select it — its symbol in the info bar turns from grey to the accent colour. With one panel, that panel is always selected.
- The right half changes the whole workspace, or takes you somewhere else on the site.
On a phone the same controls are split between a top bar, a bottom bar and a menu; see On a phone.
Left: the selected panel

| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| TapeHawk logo | Goes to the home page. |
| Symbol box | Shows the panel's symbol with its venue underneath. Click it to search for another symbol — see Symbols and venues. |
| Star | Adds the symbol to your favourites, or removes it. Visitors see a padlock and a reminder to sign in. |
| Timeframe | The bar width, such as 1 minute or 4 hours. On a heatmap this menu is replaced by Range, which reads Range 5m and so on. See Timeframes and ranges. |
| Chart type | Heatmap, footprint, or one of ten candle shapes — see Chart types and Candle shapes. |
| Indicator | The indicators on this panel, grouped as Standard, Order flow and, for confirmed accounts, My indicators. The number beside the name counts the indicators actually drawn on the panel. |
| Quick timeframes | One-click buttons for common widths: 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h and 1d on candles; the four footprint timeframes; the six ranges on a heatmap. If the panel is on a width that has no button, a button for it is added at the end. |
Right: the workspace

| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Layouts | Your saved layouts, shown by the name of the one that is open. Only when you are signed in. See Panels and layouts. |
| Grid icon (Layout) | How many panels the layout shows: 1×1, 2×1 or 2×2. A grid your account cannot use carries a padlock and the tooltip Not available on your account. |
| Bar replay | Starts or leaves a bar replay — see Bar replay. |
| Fullscreen | Fills the screen with the chart. Press it again, or Esc, to leave. |
| Settings (⚙) | Candle colours and timezone for the workspace, and the settings of the selected panel — see Colours and settings. |
| Bell | Your alerts — see Notifications. Shown to confirmed accounts. |
| Docs | These docs, in a new tab, so the chart keeps running. |
| Language | The language of the site and the chart. |
| Log in or your initial | Signed out, a link to sign in. Signed in, a round button with the first letter of your email; it opens a menu with your address, Home and Log out. |
Around the toolbar
- The drawing tools are a strip down the left edge of the chart — see Drawing tools.
- The sidebar tabs are a strip down the right edge — see Sidebar.
- Right-click the chart to create an alert at the price under the pointer. The menu appears for confirmed accounts; on a symbol TapeHawk does not record in full, its item is greyed out with a sentence saying why — see Symbols and venues.
