WHAT IS TRADINGVIEW AND HOW TO USE IT
TradingView is the leading chart provider in trading, offering novel and proprietary ways to analyze global markets.
WHAT IS TRADINGVIEW?
TradingView is a trading platform focused on charting and social media, combining industry-standard and state-of-the-art indicators with trade ideas exclusive to their community.

4. CUSTOMIZE TRADINGVIEW CHARTS
First, find the time interval and chart type that fits your trading. Day traders tend to choose small time increments like 5 or 15 minutes, whereas swing traders might view charts in 4-hour or even 1-day intervals. Most traders have a preference between candles, bars, or lines on their graph, while more specialized traders might favor advanced types like Heikin Ashi or Renko charts.
Second, add the indicators, strategies, and patterns that help you trade. TradingView offers hundreds of chart add-ons to choose from, so try out the ones that fit your trading strategy and test them how you see fit—these can be found in the ‘Technicals’ section of the ‘Indicators’ tab. You can even create your own studies using the Pine ScriptTM engine found in the ‘Personal’ section.
5. OPEN A POSITION
To open a position in a forex market, make sure you have first selected the tastyfx version of the symbol. Then, you can click the ‘Buy Market’ button or the offer to go long or the ‘Sell Market’ or bid to go short. Lastly, enter your size, order type, and take-profit or stop-loss orders (optional) before clicking ‘Buy’ or ‘Sell’ for the final time.
6. MONITOR AND CLOSE POSITIONS
You can monitor open positions in the ‘Trading Panel’ tab at the bottom of the platform, where you can also modify and close positions.
7. VIEW YOUR TRADE HISTORY
View your trading and account histories under the ‘Trading Panel’ tab at the bottom of the platform.
