How to Display Your Orders and the Countdown Timer on the Candlestick Chart?

Abstract generation in progress

God, finally found this! I've been staring at my trading screen for hours wondering where my orders disappeared to.

You can actually show your open orders, order history, and that little countdown timer right on your chart. Honestly, I don't know why they don't enable this by default - it's saved me from making some seriously stupid trades.

Showing Orders on Charts

Website Version

Log in and hit [Trade] - [Spot]. Click that [Settings] icon (took me forever to notice it tucked away in the corner).

If you're on the [Original] interface:

  • Open orders show up as floating boxes (which can be annoyingly in the way sometimes)
  • History shows as [B] or [S] icons over candles - hover to see details

Using the [Trading View] interface:

  • Open orders still float around
  • History appears as little arrows (green for buys, red for sells)

You can drag those floating boxes to adjust your orders - pretty neat trick when the market suddenly shifts and you're scrambling to not get liquidated.

Mobile App

  1. Open [Markets] - [Spot] and select your pair
  2. Hit the [Settings] icon to enable the display options
  3. You'll see those [S] and [B] icons all over your bad decisions
  4. Tap them to cry over your poor entry points

The app interface is actually cleaner than the desktop version in my opinion, though it crashes sometimes when the market gets volatile. Classic.

Showing the Countdown Timer

This tiny feature has saved me countless times from FOMO buying at candle close.

Website

Original interface: Right-click anywhere, select [More Settings] - [Price Line] - [Count Down]

Trading View interface: Right-click, hit [Settings], go to [Scales] tab and check [Countdown to bar close]

Mobile

Tap [Settings] and check [Countdown]. Simple enough, if you can find the tiny button.

Viewing Price Trends

On the app, you can pinch to zoom out and see the bigger picture. Enable this with [Settings] - [More] - [Zoom to Area Chart].

I've found this really useful when I'm trying to decide if I'm buying the dip or catching a falling knife. Usually it's the latter though, let's be real.

This platform has so many hidden features. Still waiting for the "don't make stupid trades" button though. That would be truly revolutionary.
