A guide to using charting tools on Bybit.

Understanding Bybit's Charting Interface

1. The charting interface on Bybit is built on TradingView technology, offering real-time price data across all supported trading pairs.

2. Users can switch between timeframes ranging from 1 minute to 1 month using the toolbar located at the top of the chart window.
3. Default candlestick charts display open, high, low, and close prices with color-coded bullish (green) and bearish (red) candles.
4. Zoom functionality allows users to scroll with a mouse wheel or pinch on touch devices to examine micro-level price action.
5. A right-click context menu provides quick access to drawing tools, indicator insertion, and chart settings adjustments.

Adding Technical Indicators

1. Click the Indicators button—represented by a sigma (Σ) symbol—to open the indicator library.

2. Search for popular tools like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, or Volume Profile directly in the search bar.
3. After selecting an indicator, its default parameters appear in a pop-up; users may adjust values such as periods, smoothing methods, or signal line offsets.
4. Multiple instances of the same indicator can be added with distinct configurations—for example, two moving averages with different lengths.
5. Indicator windows can be detached from the main chart area and resized independently to support multi-layered analysis.

Using Drawing Tools Effectively

1. The pencil icon opens a panel with over 30 drawing options including trendlines, Fibonacci retracements, horizontal lines, and Gann fans.

2. Trendlines drawn on higher timeframes retain their relevance when switching to lower intervals, aiding in confluence-based decision making.
3. Customizable properties include line thickness, opacity, color, and style—dashed, dotted, or solid—with green used to highlight key support zones.
4. Saved drawings persist across sessions if the user is logged in and has enabled cloud sync in account settings.
5. Right-clicking any drawing element brings up edit, delete, or duplicate functions without needing to reselect the tool.

Customizing Layouts and Templates

1. Users can save current chart configurations—including indicators, drawings, colors, and scale settings—as named templates.

2. Templates are accessible via the gear icon dropdown and can be applied instantly to any other trading pair.
3. Layouts support up to four synchronized chart panels arranged vertically or horizontally for cross-asset correlation studies.
4. Predefined templates such as “Bybit Scalper”, “Swing Trader”, and “BTC Dominance Monitor” are available for one-click loading.
5. Color schemes can be toggled between light, dark, and black modes, with each affecting chart background, grid lines, and text contrast.
