The Charting & Trading Space is the core workspace of Flows.Trading — the place where market analysis, order execution, and position management come together.
It’s designed for both speed and depth: you can track multiple assets, apply advanced analysis tools, and trade directly from your charts — all within a single, fluid interface.
Whether you’re studying long-term trends or fine-tuning short-term entries, this is where you’ll spend most of your trading time.
What You’ll Learn in This Section #
This section walks you through every key feature that makes the Charting & Trading Space your complete trading environment.
You’ll discover how to:
Navigate and customize charts: learn the layout, chart types, and timeframes.
Use technical analysis tools: apply drawing and annotation instruments directly on the chart to identify price structures, patterns, and key levels.
Work with indicators: explore the built-in indicator library and create custom scripts for advanced signal generation.
Execute and manage trades: place orders, monitor positions, and manage risk directly from the chart.
Enhance your workflow: use multi-chart layouts, market replay, and integrated watchlists to analyze efficiently.
Each topic is covered in its own subsection with examples, visuals, and practical guidance.
Analysis Tools vs. Indicators #
Flows.Trading separates two complementary layers of market analysis:
Technical Analysis Tools (Drawing & Annotation) #
These are interactive tools you draw directly on the chart — ideal for structure-based and discretionary analysis.
Examples include:
Trendlines and channels
Fibonacci retracements and extensions
Support/resistance zones
Text labels, arrows, and measurement tools
They help you visualize context, define bias, and plan trade scenarios.
Technical Indicators (Calculations & Scripts) #
Indicators are data-driven calculations based on market prices or volume.
They can be applied, modified, or scripted to fit your trading approach.
Examples include:
Moving Averages, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands
Custom indicators using Flows.Trading’s built-in scripting engine
Combined indicator strategies for signal generation
Indicators provide quantitative confirmation, while drawing tools offer qualitative insight — together, they give a complete view of the market.

By mastering its tools, you can:
Analyze markets more intuitively and precisely.
