Charts is candles plus indicators, including live liquidations from several exchanges. Let's set it up together. It's easy! Start by switching the tab from Lite to Pro, to choose each asset yourself.
Click the pencil and choose Futures, then pick B T C U S D T on Binance. Choose fifteen minute candles.
Open Indicators. Common layers read the candles; Events layers add a second feed. Liquidations is not a standard indicator. It shows forced closures live, fed by several exchanges in parallel, on Futures. We'll use it on its own.
Set the minimum size to five hundred K, so the chart shows only the largest closures. Click the most recent liquidation marker, the last one on the right. The details open on the right: price, size and exchange.
Now the TMD Liquidity Heatmap, shown on its own, with Liquidations removed. It is a separate layer, on Futures. Add EMA, Bollinger Bands and Volume. Volume gets its own pane. Nice and simple! Open a layer's settings to change colors and lengths. Easy!
Click plus to add another coin tab. Pick a coin, then switch between the tabs.
Hover a layer row in the legend: the eye hides or shows it. The gear opens its settings. Layers keep their order and colors. A chart holds eight layers, and hidden ones still count. Remove deletes a layer. The switch turns it off and keeps its settings.
Hover the chart to read date, time and price. Zoom time with the wheel, zoom price on the right edge, and scroll back. Easy!
The left rail has Trend Line, Fib Retracement, Rectangle and Brush. Draw one. Place a Long on the last candle, as a tool demo. That's it, you're all set! Free during Alpha, on tabmydata dot com.
