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.

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.
