The interface

The chart sits in the middle, with four areas around it. Once you know what lives where, you will find everything else by yourself. Two things at the end of the page confuse people most, in our experience — the two accounts and the data source.

Top · market, time, display1 of 4

Element	What it does
Seconds · minutes · hours · long-term	The 23 timeframes, grouped by size. “All intervals” expands the full list
Chart type	Candles, hollow, bars, line, Heikin Ashi, vector
Change layout	From one chart to a grid of 18 — how the window is split
Workspaces	Load, rename and delete saved layouts
MEXC / BINANCE	The data source. See below — this matters more than it looks
LIVE	Shows that fresh prices are coming in
Live ticks	Shows the individual trades: buys green, sells red
Chart settings	Colours, grid, labels, indicator parameters
Trading bots	Opens bot management
Command Center	Overall view of accounts, bots and services
Full screen	Hides everything except the chart

Left · The toolbar2 of 4

Seven groups with 43 tools altogether. One click on a group expands its tools.

Group	Content
Crosshair / mouse	The normal state — nothing is drawn
Lines	Trend line, ray, horizontal, vertical, angle, info and more
Fibonacci & Gann	Retracement, extension, arcs, circles, fans, Gann box
Brush & shapes	Rectangle, ellipse, triangle, arrow, channel, freehand drawing
Measurements	Price, date, area, ruler, trade measurement
Projections	Draw long and short positions with target and stop
Text & notes	Text, speech bubble, price label, emoji

Below that are four helpers: Magnet mode snaps lines to high, low, open and close. Bar replay plays the history like a video — very useful to test an idea without seeing the future. Undo (Ctrl + Z) and Redo (Ctrl + Y) also cover indicator settings, not just drawings. Delete all clears the chart.

Right · Three panels3 of 4

A narrow icon bar switches between three panels. A second click on the same icon collapses the panel again and gives the chart its width back.

WatchlistYour markets with price and daily change; one click swaps the coin in the active chart

TradingThe form for positions — direction, investment, leverage, market or limit

BotsYour bots as cards, with status, result and buttons to stop and edit

A greyed-out row in the watchlist means: no fresh prices are currently coming in for this market from the selected source. Not every coin is listed on both exchanges — with the other source the row is often back.

Bottom · The area below the chart4 of 4

Tab	What it contains
Positions	What is open right now, with entry, margin, result and liquidation price
Limit orders	Orders waiting for their price. You can cancel them here
History	Everything closed, with exit type: MANUAL, TAKE_PROFIT, STOP_LOSS or LIQUIDATION
Bots	Your bots' trades
Bot history	Completed bot trades
System logs	What the bots are thinking right now — the most honest troubleshooting there is here

The exit type column in the history is the one you will need most often: it tells you whether a position reached your target, ran into the stop or was liquidated.

Most common confusion

Two accounts, not one

In the area below the chart there are two separate account balances. That is not a display error — there really are two.

TRADING ACCOUNT

What you yourself trade by hand. Starts with $10,000. Everything from the trading panel on the right ends up here.

BOT ACCOUNT

What your bots trade. Kept separate so that you can judge a bot's performance without your own trades distorting the number.

Both can be reset independently of each other. So if a bot test series has messed things up, you can empty the bot account without losing your own trading history.

MEXC or Binance?

The switch at the top chooses which exchange the prices come from. The two are deliberately kept separate and are not interchangeable:

MEXCThe live stream. Every single trade comes in; the seconds levels only exist here

BINANCEThe depth for back-calculations — for many markets back to the first trading day

Why not just merge them? Because the two exchanges count volume differently: MEXC in contracts, Binance in the base currency. Mixed together, the volume bars would be off by orders of magnitude. That is why you choose deliberately — MEXC for the live chart, Binance for long look-backs.

Practical consequence: if you are on Binance and pick a seconds timeframe, the chart may look thinner than on MEXC. And a coin that only exists on one of the two exchanges is empty on the other. Neither is an error, it is the difference between the sources.
