Charts & Analysis

Use gStockly to move from a ticker idea to a repeatable chart setup, an explicit risk plan, and alerts that follow the levels you care about.

Your first chart

Chart controls, timeframes and views

The upper toolbar controls the chart type, timeframe, history range, scale and visual template. The drawing toolbar on the left contains cursor, line, Fibonacci, channel, annotation, ruler and shape tools.

Custom chart header metrics

The information displayed above the chart is personal. Open Analysis → Chart header to choose the data you want to see.

• Choose metrics from Price, Activity, Volatility, Trend and Stock info.
• Place each metric on Row 1, Row 2 or Row 3, then reorder it within that row.
• Use no more than three rows. The layout is saved to your account.

Available metrics include OHLC, volume, countervalue, intraday range, ATR, RSI, Bollinger position and width, VWAP distance, ADX, relative volume, moving-average distance and 52-week context.

Indicators and drawings

Indicators answer a question about price behaviour; drawings capture your own thesis. Combine them deliberately rather than adding everything at once.

Save a chart workspace

A workspace is a named, reusable chart setup. It is useful when you analyse different tickers with the same process.

1. Set the timeframe, chart type, scale, grid, visual theme, indicators and header metrics you want.
2. Click the bookmark icon in the chart toolbar.
3. Enter a name such as Swing, Breakout or Mean reversion, then select Save current.
4. Load the workspace later on any ticker from the same menu.

Workspaces save chart settings and indicator configuration. Your manually drawn objects remain associated with the ticker, so a support line on one instrument is never accidentally copied to another.

Trade planner

Open the crosshair button in the left toolbar to plan a possible trade before acting on it. Enter an Entry, Stop, Target, available capital and maximum risk percentage.

The planner estimates quantity, position value, risk per share, total risk, potential reward and the risk/reward ratio. It does not place orders and it does not guarantee a fill at any price.

Alerts on prices and studies

Open the bell icon for price and study alerts. Alerts can be delivered through the channels available on your account and are subject to your plan’s alert budget.

Price alert

Create an alert when price moves above, below, crosses above or crosses below a fixed level. You can choose the candle price source, cooldown, expiry, active days and an optional note.

Study alert

For a saved drawing, right-click it and choose Create study alert. gStockly opens the Study / Indicator tab and selects that exact drawing. The alert follows the drawing when you move it, which is more useful than a fixed-price alert for trendlines, channels and similar tools.

Planner shortcuts

In the Trade Planner, Alert stop and Alert target open a pre-filled price alert. Review the condition and delivery settings, then create the alert.

Insights and research panels

The Analysis menu gives access to supporting context for the current ticker:

Bar Replay is available from the search/tools area when you want to practise reading price action without seeing future bars.
