How to add liquidations to a chart

Product overview: custom charting indicators.

What you can do

• Pick any asset and switch time frames.
• Add up to 8 indicator layers from a library.
• Tune each layer's colours and lengths, hide it or remove it.
• Overlay Orderbook Profile, liquidations, scheduled events and the modeled Liquidation Heatmap.
• Draw on the chart with the left rail.
• Read price and time at the crosshair.
• Keep many assets as chart tabs inside one Charts tab.

How to add the Chart tab

1. Click + (Add a tab), or press T.
2. Under Charts and analysis, click Charts (badge LIVE), or press Shift + 6.
3. Hover it for the presets: BTC chart, ETH chart, BNB chart and Binance spot 1h. Click one to open a coin already set up.

How to change the asset

1. Click the pencil next to the asset name in the tab.
2. The Change the asset panel opens. Search a coin or pair, switch between spot and futures, and pick the market. Tokenised stocks, ETFs, gold and commodities that trade on crypto exchanges are in the same search.
3. The header shows the price and move, for example "BTC ▲ 83415.01 +0.28%". Hover it: "BTC · 1h · Binance spot".

How to keep many assets in one tab

Inside the tab you can:

1. Click + to add another chart tab.
2. Click x on a chart tab to close it.
3. Use Open in new tab to move it to its own Charts tab.
4. Use New chart tab ("New tab with this setup") to copy the current setup.

How to change the time frame

1. Click one of the chips: 1m, 15m, 1h or 1D.
2. For others, click More time frames: 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h and more.

Each chart tab inside the Charts tab keeps its own time frame.

How do I add an indicator to the chart?

1. Click Indicators (tooltip: "the library, in the side panel"). A side panel opens: "Indicators · N of 8 layers on this chart".
2. Scroll the list. It has two groups, COMMON and EVENTS. The panel has no search box.
3. Click Add next to a layer. It appears on the chart and in the legend row. The panel stays open, so you can add many layers one after another.
4. Close the panel when you are done.

Tip: Volume and RSI sit in their own panes under the price. The other layers draw on the price scale.

The indicator library

COMMON (reads the candles on screen)

EVENTS (a second feed, drawn on the same scale)

For Orderbook Profile see Orderbook Profile. Indicators describe what the candles and books show. They are not signals, and nothing here is financial advice.

What is the Liquidation Heatmap layer?

The TMD Liquidation Heatmap Model 1 layer draws modeled liquidation levels from the candles on screen, not recorded events. Its settings have colours 1 to 5 (weak to strong) and parameters such as Leverage Buffer, Threshold, Fade Amount, Max Distance and Fade Start, plus Origin Mode and Theme choices. The Liquidation Heatmap is also a tab of its own: see Liquidation Heatmap. It is separate from the Orderbook Heatmap, which is a different tab with a different data source.

How to change a layer's settings

1. Click the gear on the layer's legend row, or the gear in the library.
2. Change colours (hex field or picker), lengths and other values.
3. Use the on/off switch to switch the layer off. "Switching it off keeps the slot and everything set here."
4. Click Remove to delete it, or the back button to return to the library.

Settings save on their own: a layer has no Save button. Careful: the red Remove button deletes the layer. To pause a layer, use the on/off switch or the eye on the legend row. If you add a layer of the same type again, it keeps the settings you last gave that type, for example the exchanges you ticked on Liquidations.

How to hide or remove a layer from the legend

1. Hover the legend row.
2. Click the eye to hide, the gear for settings, or x to remove.

The 8 layer limit

A chart takes 8 layers. "8 layers is the limit on one chart. Remove one to make room. Hiding a layer keeps it running, so it still counts." At the limit, the Add buttons are disabled with "At the layer limit, remove one first".

How do I see liquidations on a crypto chart?

1. Switch the chart to a futures market.
2. Click Indicators and add the Liquidations layer.
3. In its settings, tick the exchanges (the list has nine, plus All) and set MINIMUM SIZE (Any, $10k, $50k, $100k or $1M). A new layer starts at $10k. A cascade usually prints on many exchanges at once, so tick more than one.
4. Click a purple triangle. A side panel, What you clicked, shows the forced closure with its price, size, dollar value and venue.

A higher minimum size leaves fewer triangles, so raise it on a busy chart. On a spot market the layer says: "A spot market has no positions to force closed, switch this tab to futures to see liquidations."

How do I draw on the chart?

The left rail has Cursor, Trend Line, Fib Retracement, Rectangle, Brush, Long Position, Clear All and Hide drawings, plus a Drawings library. Zoom, scroll and reset buttons sit on the chart.

Your drawings are saved in your drawings library, per symbol. The library shows where it is saving, for example "Saving to Default on BTCUSDT", with a count and when it was last edited. It has New drawing and Import. A new Charts tab on the same symbol loads the drawings you saved.

1. Open the Drawings library and click New drawing. It creates a record, for example "BTCUSDT Drawing 2", and makes it the active one.
2. Pick a tool on the left rail and draw.
3. Clear All empties only the active record. Deleting a record from its row menu asks for no confirmation.

To export all your drawings as a file, see Keep your account secure.

How to read the crosshair

Hover the chart. A tag shows the date, time and price at the pointer.

How to zoom the time axis

Roll the mouse wheel over the chart to zoom the time axis. The canvas does not zoom when you do this. The bar at the bottom of the chart also has zoom in, zoom out and Reset View. The zoom is not kept after you reload the page.

Tab controls

The header has LITE | PRO, Minimize, Refresh, Screenshot, Edit appearance and Close. See Tab controls.

Settings

States

• New tab: price only, 0 layers.
• At the limit: Add buttons disabled.
• Spot with Liquidations: a message to switch to futures.
