In the Chart Panel section, you can customize what appears on your chart:

  • Ask Price: The bid price is displayed by default, but you can enable the ask price as well.
  • Bid Price: Heikin Ashi charts don’t show the bid price by default, but you can enable it here.
  • SL/TP Handles: Stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) handles are hidden unless an order is selected. You can choose to keep them visible at all times.
