The chart

Open the chart

Every tab uses the same chart. Click a stock's name in any list (Trendline Support, Breakout & Retest, Option Trendlines, Inside Bars, Volume Burst, Price Action) and the chart opens in a popup over the list. The list stays where it was underneath, so closing the chart puts you back on the same row.

1. Open a tab, for example Trendline Support (/trendlines).
2. Click the stock's name in the Stock column. While the file loads you see 'Drawing TCS…'.
3. The popup opens on the timeframe the row is about - for example, the timeframe picked in the tab's Timeframe filter, or the timeframe the row was found on.
4. To close it: click Close (an X on a phone), press Esc, or click the dark area outside the popup.

Tip. The stock page has the same chart too: open /s/SYMBOL and pick the Chart tab. It has the same Layers button, Lines box and drawing tools; its timeframes are a row of pills above the chart.

Read the chart

The chart is built on TradingView's Lightweight Charts, so it moves the way a TradingView chart does. The price axis is logarithmic (a log scale: a 10% move is the same height at ₹100 and at ₹1,000), which is why the site's trendlines are straight lines.

• Green candle: closed above its open. Red candle: closed below its open.
• Hollow candle (only its outline drawn): the candle is still forming - the week, month or hour is not over yet. The trendlines are never fitted to it; it sits in the last slot, where the lines end.
• Pale candle: a short candle - a bucket shorter than the others, such as a 15-minute end-of-day bucket on the 1-hour chart, or a stock that listed mid-month. It counts for touches and breaks but is drawn faint.
• Dotted grey line marked 'Now' on the price axis: the price the chart is drawn to.
• Trendlines: green for support (price above the line), red for resistance (price below it). Small dots on a line are its touches; a small square is where it broke.
• Each line's name sits on the price axis where the line ends: 'Daily support', 'Weekly resistance'. On a narrow chart it is shortened: '1D support', '1W resistance'.
• Chips under the header: one for each thing drawn, e.g. 'Daily lines' with the number of lines drawn, 'Monthly lines', or '50 EMA' with its last value. Hover a chip for details; click a chip to take that thing off the chart.

The crosshair header in the top-left corner names the timeframe and the candle, then O (open), H (high), L (low), C (close) and the % change from the previous candle's close. Move the mouse over any candle to read that candle; move it off the chart and the header goes back to the last candle. A forming candle says 'forming' after its date, a short one says 'short candle'.

Change the timeframe (the speed strip)

The row of timeframes under the stock's name is the speed strip. Click one and the chart redraws in place - the popup does not close and the page does not reload. The timeframe you are on is underlined.

• A dimmed speed with the tooltip 'Not scanned on this speed - shows the chart and its trendlines': the tab you came from does not scan that speed, but the chart and its own trendlines still draw.
• 2 month and 3 month are dimmed everywhere with 'Shown for reference - this timeframe is still being validated'.
• While a speed loads, the strip is greyed for a moment and the chart fades; wait for it to finish.
• On a phone the strip is one row: swipe it sideways. The speed you are on is scrolled into view.

Tip. What you ticked under Layers stays ticked while you step through the speeds in the same popup. It is forgotten when you close the popup, unless you pressed 'Save as my default for every chart'.

The Layers button: choose what is drawn

Everything the chart draws on top of the candles is chosen in one place: the Layers button on the right of the speed row (on the stock page, just above the chart). The button shows how many things are on; with nothing saved yet it reads 'Layers 4 on' (this chart's lines, Major zones, Levels, 52-week marks).

1. Click Layers. A panel titled Layers opens (on a phone it slides up from the bottom).
2. Tick or untick boxes. The chart changes at once.
3. Press Done, press Esc, or click outside the panel to close it.

A tick changes this chart only. The panel says so: 'Changed for this chart only. 2 ticks differ from your default.' To keep a set-up for every chart, press 'Save as my default for every chart'. The panel then says 'Saved. Every chart opens like this one now.'

• Your default opens on every tab and every stock. It is kept in this browser, or on your account when the panel's last line says 'on any device you sign in on'.
• The timeframe is not part of the default - each popup still opens on the timeframe its row is about.
• 'Back to my default' (top right of the panel) undoes your ticks on this chart and returns to your saved default. It is grey when nothing has changed.
• If you have never saved a default, charts open with Major zones, Levels and 52-week marks, plus this chart's own trendlines.

Keep in mind. Option Trendlines charts have no 'On the chart' group. Zones, levels and coils belong to a stock's price and mean nothing on an option premium, so they are left out.

Trendlines from other timeframes (a 1-month line on a 1-week or 1-day chart)

A monthly trendline is drawn on the monthly chart. But you often want to see it while you look at weekly or daily candles - to see how close today's price is to a line that took years to form. The 'Trendlines from' group in the Layers panel lays a slower timeframe's lines over the chart you are on. Nothing is re-fitted: the same line, with the same touches, is drawn on the faster candles.

1. Open the stock's chart from any list, or from its stock page.
2. In the speed strip, click Daily (or Weekly).
3. Click Layers. Under 'Trendlines from' you see Daily (marked 'this chart'), then 3 day, Weekly, 2 week, Monthly, 2 month and 3 month - the chart's own timeframe and every slower one.
4. Tick Monthly. While the monthly file loads, the tick pulses and its chip shows '...'.
5. The monthly lines appear: pale and wide, behind the daily lines, with 'Monthly support' or 'Monthly resistance' on the price axis where each ends ('1M support' on a narrow chart).
6. A chip 'Monthly lines 1' appears under the crosshair header. Hover it to read each line's price now, how far the price is from it, and its touches.
7. Now click Weekly in the speed strip. Monthly is still ticked, so the same monthly line is laid on the weekly candles too.
8. To keep this on every chart, open Layers again and press 'Save as my default for every chart'. From then on every chart from 15 min up to 2 week opens with the monthly lines on it. On the monthly chart itself they are simply its own lines.

How the borrowed lines look, compared with the chart's own lines:

Other combinations work the same way:

1. 1-week lines on a 1-hour chart: open the chart, click 1 hour in the strip, open Layers and tick Weekly under 'Trendlines from'.
2. Only the slower lines, without this chart's own: untick the box marked 'this chart' (e.g. '1 hour this chart'). Its chip disappears and only the borrowed lines remain.
3. Several at once: tick Daily, Weekly and Monthly together on a 1-hour chart. Each gets its own chip and its own name on the axis.
4. Switch them off: untick the timeframe under 'Trendlines from', or simply click its chip on the chart ('Weekly lines 2').
5. Back to how the chart opened: Layers, then 'Back to my default'.

• Only slower timeframes are offered. A 15-minute line spans less than one weekly candle, so it cannot be laid on a weekly chart.
• Borrowed lines follow the Lines box (Current, + Retests, All) the same way the chart's own lines do.
• In the Trendline Support popup they also follow the tab's touch count: with the list at ×5, a monthly line with 4 touches is not drawn.
• Option Trendlines charts offer only the option's own speeds (up to Daily).

Keep in mind. A line from another timeframe is a picture of where that line runs, not a level the price must respect. It shows where to look, nothing more.

Current, + Retests, All: which lines are drawn

The Lines box sits beside the Layers button. It decides which of the scan's lines are drawn - on this chart and on lines borrowed from other timeframes.

1. Click the Lines box beside Layers.
2. Pick Current, + Retests or All.
3. The chip for this chart's lines ('Daily lines 2') counts what is drawn now.

• Your choice is remembered in this browser and shared by every chart on the site: pick + Retests once and the stock page draws retests too.
• In the Trendline Support popup, clicking a line in the list under the chart draws that line (thicker) even if the current view would hide it - without changing the Lines box.

Moving averages, levels and zones

The 'On the chart' group of the Layers panel adds horizontal levels and moving averages. Each has a tooltip in the panel; here is what they draw.

1. Open Layers and tick Averages. A row appears under it: 21, 50, 100, 200, then EMA and SMA.
2. Click a period to add or remove it. Each has its own colour; the 200 is the darkest.
3. Click EMA or SMA to switch the kind. EMA is the default.
4. Each average gets a chip with its name and last value (e.g. '50 EMA' followed by the price). Click the chip to remove it.
5. Tick Levels or Major zones the same way. Levels, zones and round numbers are prices, so the same band shows on a 15-minute chart and a monthly one.

Tip. The averages are computed on the full history, not just the candles on screen, so the 200 is correct from the first candle drawn. They match TradingView's ta.ema / ta.sma on the same timeframe.

Keep in mind. Levels and zones come from the nightly run. During the day they can be a session behind the candles.

Zoom, move and reset

The chart opens on the last 140 candles on a wide screen (70 on a phone), with some empty space after the last candle for the line names.

• The hint line under the chart says the same: 'Scroll or pinch to zoom · drag to move · double-click the price axis to reset'.
• Lines far from the price (a monthly ceiling 20% above) are never allowed to squash the candles. To see one, zoom out or drag the price axis.
• On a phone, dragging up and down over the chart scrolls the page, not the chart.

Draw your own lines and boxes

The drawing tools are the strip of icons down the left edge of the chart (along its foot on a phone). Hover an icon for its name.

1. Click the Trend line icon. The chart holds still so a click places a point instead of moving the chart.
2. Click the first point, then the second (or drag between them). The tool goes back to Cursor and the new line is selected.
3. To change its colour, click the colour dot under the tools and pick blue, red, green, orange or purple. The next drawing uses that colour too.
4. To move it, drag the line; to move one end, drag its dot.
5. To delete it, select it and press Delete (or Backspace), or click the X icon that appears under the tools.
6. To remove every drawing on this stock, click the bin icon, then click it again within a few seconds to confirm.
7. Esc puts a tool down without drawing.

• Drawings belong to the stock, not to one chart. A line drawn on the daily chart shows in the same place (same dates, same prices) on the 1-hour and weekly charts of that stock, in every tab's popup and on the stock page.
• When you are signed in, drawings are saved to your account. Signed out, they last until the page closes, and the hint line says 'Sign in to keep your drawings.'
• One stock keeps at most 200 drawings. Past that the chart says 'Not saved: one stock keeps at most 200 drawings.'

Heikin-Ashi candles (Breakout & Retest only)

Breakout & Retest (/breakouts) judges its breaks on Heikin-Ashi candles, so its chart popup opens in Heikin-Ashi. Heikin-Ashi (a Japanese candle style) draws each candle as an average of its own prices and the one before, which smooths the picture. It is the only popup with this switch.

1. On Breakout & Retest, click a stock's name. The popup opens on the speed the row was judged on.
2. Beside the Lines box there is a two-way switch: Heikin-Ashi / Plain. Click Plain for ordinary candles, Heikin-Ashi to go back. The choice is not saved: after the page reloads, the popup opens on Heikin-Ashi again.
3. On the row's own speed the chart shows: a shaded box for the pause (the sideways stretch before the break), whose dashed blue edge is the breakout (or breakdown) level and is named on the axis; a ▲ arrow under the break candle reading 'breakout over' and the level; '▲ retest' marks on candles that came back to the level; and 'back inside' if price fell back into the box.
4. Click any other speed in the strip. There is no box there; the level is drawn across the chart as a dashed line named 'Breakout level' (or 'Breakdown level') with its price, so you can see it on any timeframe.
5. The 6 month and 1 year speeds exist only here. They are built from the monthly candles, folded into half-years and years.
6. On the row's own speed a side panel (right of the chart on a wide screen, under it on a smaller one) gives the row's Status and Plan; a note under the chart says which candles you are looking at.

Keep in mind. A Heikin-Ashi close is an average, not a traded price - its last value is not the day's close. That is why the chart hides the candles' own last-value tag while Heikin-Ashi is on; read the price from the 'Now' line and the header at the top.

Under Plain, the level and the marks stay where the Heikin-Ashi reading put them; only the candles change.

Copy the chart, copy the lines, open in TradingView

Three buttons take the chart off the site.

Copy lines for TradingView, step by step:

1. Set the chart up the way you want it: Lines view, and which layers are ticked.
2. Click 'Copy lines for TradingView'. The chart says: 'Copied. In TradingView open Pine Editor (bottom panel), paste, then click Add to chart.'
3. Click TradingView ↗ (or open the stock in TradingView yourself).
4. In TradingView open the Pine Editor at the bottom of the screen.
5. Select all the text there, paste over it (Ctrl+V), then click 'Add to chart'.
6. An indicator called 'TE lines TCS 1D' (stock and timeframe) appears with the lines on your chart.

• What it carries: this chart's own trendlines (per the Lines view), their touch dots and break marks, and whatever layers are ticked - levels, major zones, 52-week marks, coils, round numbers and round zones. Averages are written as TradingView's own ta.ema / ta.sma, so they land on the site's values on the same timeframe.
• Lines are pinned to real dates and prices, so they sit in the right place on any TradingView timeframe.
• It is a snapshot. When new candles close, or a line breaks, copy it again.
• The button shows only while this chart's own lines are on. Lines borrowed from other timeframes are not copied - to take a monthly line to TradingView, click Monthly in the strip and copy from there.
• If it says 'Could not copy: the browser blocked the clipboard.', allow clipboard access for the site and try again.

Tip. TradingView spells some NSE symbols differently: '&' and '-' become '_' (M&M is NSE:M_M, BAJAJ-AUTO is NSE:BAJAJ_AUTO). The TradingView ↗ button does this for you.

On a phone

The same chart, rearranged for a small screen.

• The popup is a sheet from the bottom of the screen. Close is the X at the top right.
• The speed strip is one row: swipe it sideways for the other timeframes.
• The Layers panel opens as a sheet at the bottom; tick, then tap Done.
• The crosshair header shows the close and the % change only (open, high and low are left out for room). Tap a candle to read it.
• Line names on the price axis are short: '1W support', '1M resistance'.
• The chart opens on the last 70 candles. Pinch to zoom, drag sideways to move back in time. Dragging up or down scrolls the page.
• The drawing tools sit in a row under the chart. With a tool picked, the chart holds still so your finger places points.
• Copy chart image may download the picture instead if the phone's browser cannot copy images.

Tip. If the Layers panel's last line says 'on any device you sign in on', a default saved on your computer opens on your phone too. If it says 'in this browser', save it on the phone as well.

When something looks wrong

Keep in mind. The chart shows what the scan found, drawn as it was found. It does not say what the price will do next.

Words used on the chart
