Interactive Charts
Charts are the heart of your analytical workspace. FORXEA supports three primary chart types, selectable from the toolbar above any chart panel:- Line chart — Plots closing prices over time. Ideal for a clean, high-level view of long-term trends.
- Candlestick chart — Displays open, high, low, and close for each period. The default view for most active traders.
- Bar chart — Similar to candlestick but rendered as vertical bars with left and right ticks for open and close prices.
FORXEA stores up to two years of historical data for most instruments. Availability may vary for less-liquid markets.
Technical Indicators
Add technical indicators to any chart from the Indicators menu in the chart toolbar. Type an indicator name in the search field, select it from the list, and configure its parameters in the settings panel that opens automatically.Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Simple Moving Average (SMA)
Plots the average closing price over a defined number of periods as a smooth line on your chart. Use SMA to identify the general direction of a trend and spot potential support or resistance levels. Commonly applied with periods of 20, 50, and 200.
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
Similar to SMA but gives greater weight to recent price data, making it more responsive to new information. EMA is popular for identifying trend direction in faster-moving markets. The 9-period and 21-period EMAs are widely used for short-term signals.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
An oscillator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes on a scale of 0 to 100. Readings above 70 are traditionally considered overbought, while readings below 30 suggest oversold conditions. RSI appears in a separate panel below your main chart.
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)
Tracks the relationship between two EMAs (typically 12-period and 26-period) and plots the difference as a line alongside a signal line and a histogram. Crossovers between the MACD line and the signal line are commonly used as buy or sell signals.
Bollinger Bands
Bollinger Bands
Plots three lines around a central SMA: an upper band and a lower band set at a defined number of standard deviations from the middle line. When price moves outside the bands, it can signal unusual volatility or a potential reversal. Bands widen during volatile periods and contract during consolidation.
Volume
Volume
Displays the number of units traded in each period as a histogram at the bottom of the chart. Volume confirms the strength of a price move — a breakout accompanied by high volume is generally considered more reliable than one on low volume.
Indicator availability may vary depending on the market or instrument type. Some indicators are not available for certain asset classes due to differences in underlying data. Check the Indicators menu for the full list available for your selected instrument.
