        1Chart typeSelect a chart type to determine how the data is displayed on the chart. The charts include basic and more specialized charts types:
        • Candle. The chart represents price movements using colored rectangles (candles) that show the open, high, low, and close prices through the candle body and wicks.
        • Bar. The chart represents aggregated price values with vertical lines and opening/closing "feet" indicating the open, high, low, and close prices.
        • Line. The chart connects successive close prices without showing open, high, or low values.
        • Area. The chart visualizes close prices highlighting the area between the current close price and zero with color fill for trend clarity.
        • Scatter. The chart shows individual close price values as scattered dots.
        • Hollow Candle. The chart shows the price difference between the close and open of the current candle (hollow and solid candles) taking into account the high and low prices of nearby candles.
        • Histogram. The chart displays the proximity of the close price values to the horizontal price axis in columns, which is useful for spotting distribution peaks and patterns.
        • Equivolume. The chart displays rectangles of varying width and height, where the width of the volume bar reflects the traded volume, and the upper and bottom boundaries represent the high and low prices reached during the aggregation period.
        • Heikin-Ashi. The chart is plotted with candles like the Candle chart but the candles are calculated according to the formulas where the prices are converted into Heikin Ashi values.
        • Baseline. The chart shows price movements relative to a baseline selected by the trader.
        • Trend. The chart is similar to the Candle chart but with different colornig patterns. The candles are colored according to the open and close values of the current and two adjacent aggregation periods.
        See the Chart types section for details.

        Scales

        The price scale (Y-axis) and time scale (X-axis) are the vertical and horizontal scales that map prices to coordinates on the chart. Drag a scale up and down to manually adjust the values on it.

        Auto-scale price axis. Turns on auto-scale for the price axis. You can choose what objects on the chart the price axis should be fit to while auto-scaling:

        • Fit Studies. The price axis is scaled automatically to fit indicators.
        • Fit Orders. The price axis is scaled automatically to fit orders.
        • Fit Positions. The price axis is scaled automatically to fit positions.
        Note: The auto-scale works for Regular and Logarithmic scale types only

        Invert scale. Inverts the direction of the price axis.
        Lock scale. Locks the price axis so that it adjusts to the bars as you zoom in and out of the chart.

        Scale type:

        • Regular – a linear price scale where the prices are positioned equidistantly (equally far away) from one another. 
        • Percent – the scale shows percentage value instead of price points. The scale shows the percentage change between the current price value and the starting price value of a candle. The value of 0% corresponds to the starting price of the first candle visible on the chart.
          Formula
          Percentage value = (current price - starting price)  / starting price * 100, where:

          Current price – the current price of a choosen instrument. The price type is set in the Chart settings > Data > Price type.
          Starting price – the price at which a candle begins.
        • Logarithmic - a logarithmic price scale represents proportional changes between values. That means that the prices are positioned not equidistantly but accordingly to a percent change between them.
        Logarithmic price axis
        Example: The distance between 1.2 and 2.4 prices is equal to the distance between 0.5 and 1.0. In both cases the second value is twice as bigger than the first one, so the growth is equal to 100%. It means that both of the prices will be shown equidistantly on the scale.
