TradingView Chart
The TradingView Chart is the visual part of the Futures Terminal.
It works together with the terminal tabs below it, so users can move from contract selection to position control and historical review without leaving the same workspace.
What the chart is for
The chart is useful when you want to:
- review the selected instrument visually;
- compare chart structure with the data shown in the terminal tables;
- monitor live position context;
- review order history on the chart;
- visualize selected price limits for the current pair.
This makes the chart a practical working tool rather than a separate isolated screen. The chart is powered by TradingView, so you can review live BTCUSD charts alongside the terminal data.
Chart timeframes
The chart offers the timeframes 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1D and 1W. A week candle opens on Monday 00:00 UTC, as on Binance, Bybit and TradingView.
The Firedrake studies — MRC, clouds and divergence — work on every chart timeframe, including 1W.
Firedrake indicators
The chart includes Firedrake indicators:
- Mean Reversion Channel (FireDrake) — MRC zones of the chart's timeframe;
- Clouds (FireDrake) — Firedrake clouds of the chart's timeframe;
- Divergence (FireDrake) — divergences between price and MACD;
- MRC MTF (FireDrake) and Clouds MTF (FireDrake) — MRC zones and clouds of a second, higher timeframe drawn over the chart.
A new chart opens with Mean Reversion Channel, Clouds and Divergence already added. Like any other study on the chart, each of them can be hidden with the eye icon in the legend, configured or removed, and added again from the Indicators dialog (search for "FireDrake").
These indicators make the chart useful as a price view and as part of the broader Firedrake futures workflow. How to read them: Mean Reversion Channel, Clouds and Divergence.
Divergence on the chart
Divergence (FireDrake) marks divergences on the candle that confirms them:
- a bullish divergence — a triangle under the candle labelled Bull;
- a bearish divergence — a triangle over the candle labelled Bear;
- a divergence that is forming on the current, still open candle — a faded circle labelled Bull? or Bear?. It is not confirmed yet and may disappear: when the candle closes, it either becomes a confirmed mark or vanishes.
The chart shows all confirmed divergences on the loaded history, while the screener shows only the one that is still active. Divergences are shown on futures charts on every timeframe, from 1m to 1W. Colours can be changed in the study settings.
If a saved chart layout does not have it, the study is added once; if you remove it, it does not come back.
Indicators of a higher timeframe (MRC MTF, Clouds MTF)
MRC MTF (FireDrake) and Clouds MTF (FireDrake) let you see the MRC zones or the cloud of a higher timeframe without switching the chart — for example, the 4h MRC and the 4h cloud on a 15m chart, to keep the broader trend and zones in view while you look for an entry.
How to add them. These studies are not on the chart by default and have no button of their own. Open the Indicators dialog on the chart toolbar, type "MTF" in the search, and pick MRC MTF (FireDrake) or Clouds MTF (FireDrake).
Settings. Open the study settings (double-click the study in the legend or use its settings icon) and go to the Inputs tab:
- Timeframe (higher than the chart's) — 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day or 1 week; the default is 4 hours. A week candle of the overlay opens on Monday, like the chart's own week candles. Both studies have this input.
- Higher-TF bar — only in MRC MTF:
- Current (updates live) — the default. The study shows the value of the current, still open candle of the higher timeframe and updates it live — as on a chart of that timeframe, and as the screener and strategies see the MRC of the timeframes they use.
- Last closed (no repaint) — the study shows the value of the last closed candle of the higher timeframe. The picture never repaints, but it lags by one higher-timeframe candle.
What it looks like. Each candle of the higher timeframe is drawn as one flat dashed segment, so on a lower-timeframe chart the lines look like steps: one 4h candle spans sixteen 15m candles. Long flat segments are expected, not a delay.
MRC MTF lines. By default the study shows five of the nine MRC lines: Meanline, Upband, Lowband, Normal Overbought and Normal Oversold. The Weak and Strong Overbought / Oversold lines are off so that the overlay stays readable over the chart's own MRC — you can turn them on in the Style tab of the study settings.
Good to know:
- The selected timeframe must be higher than the chart's timeframe. If it is the same or lower (for example 4 hours on a 4h chart, 1 day on a 1D chart, or any option on a 1W chart), the study draws nothing.
- You can add several copies with different timeframes, for example MRC MTF 1h and MRC MTF 4h at the same time.
- History is loaded together with the chart, and the latest higher-timeframe candle updates live.
Working with live overlays
The chart supports live overlays for the selected futures account and symbol.
When the relevant chart mode is enabled, users can visualize:
- the live position as a PnL line at the entry price;
- active open orders;
- take-profit levels;
- stop-loss levels;
- safety-order levels;
- other active order lines related to the current position.
This gives a clearer visual understanding of how the current position and order structure are arranged around price.
Orders history on the chart
The chart also supports historical order and trade visualization.
Users can display order-history markers directly on the chart and switch between different views:
- long orders
- short orders
- all orders
Each marker is an order that was actually filled on the exchange. It sits at the moment of the fill and at the price the order was filled at — so a safety order placed when the deal opened and filled days later appears where it really filled. An order filled in several parts is shown as one marker, at its average fill price and the time of its last fill. Orders that never filled get no marker.
This is useful when you want to study how a position or sequence of orders developed directly on the chart alongside table data.
A deal opened from Position History
In Position History, click the pair name of a closed deal (Open chart). The chart switches to that pair, scrolls to the time of the deal and highlights it:
- a yellow box from the deal's open to its close, spanning its entry and exit prices;
- entry and exit arrows that bounce for a couple of seconds so you can spot them at once.
The box stays while you look at the pair and disappears when you switch the chart to another pair.
My Price Limits
The chart also supports My Price Limits for the currently selected pair.
When a price-limit rule is selected, the chart can display that limit as an overlay line for the current instrument.
This is useful when you want to keep an important configured level visible during chart review.
Account-aware chart context
The chart can also be linked to a selected futures account.
This matters when the visual overlays depend on account-specific position and order data, because it keeps the chart context aligned with the account you are reviewing in the Terminal.
Typical workflow
A common workflow with the chart looks like this:
- Select a contract in the Terminal.
- Open the instrument on the chart.
- Use the chart to review price structure together with Firedrake indicators and the divergence marks.
- If you need the broader picture, add MRC MTF (FireDrake) or Clouds MTF (FireDrake) of a higher timeframe.
- Enable live overlays when you want to see the current position and active orders on the chart.
- Enable order-history display when you want to review how orders were placed over time.
- Turn on My Price Limits when you want a selected limit level visible during chart review.
Summary
Use the TradingView Chart when you want to:
- review the selected contract visually;
- work with Firedrake indicators on the chart, including divergences;
- see MRC zones and clouds of a higher timeframe without switching the chart;
- see live position and order overlays;
- review historical order placement directly on the chart;
- keep selected price-limit levels visible while working in the Terminal.
