TapeHawk Docs
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

The left half of the toolbar: the TapeHawk logo, the BTCUSDT symbol box with Binance under it, the star, 5 minutes, Candles, Indicator with a count of 0, and quick timeframe buttons from 1m to 1d.
ControlWhat it does
TapeHawk logoGoes to the home page.
Symbol boxShows the panel's symbol with its venue underneath. Click it to search for another symbol — see Symbols and venues.
StarAdds the symbol to your favourites, or removes it. Visitors see a padlock and a reminder to sign in.
TimeframeThe 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 typeHeatmap, footprint, or one of ten candle shapes — see Chart types and Candle shapes.
IndicatorThe 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 timeframesOne-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

The right half of the toolbar: the saved layout named BTCUSDT, the grid, replay, fullscreen and settings icons, the bell, Docs, the language menu and the round account button.

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.
