SignalX Overview
Everything you need to know before you start - how SignalX is structured, what each module does, and how to navigate your trading workflow from setup to execution.
What SignalX Gives You
SignalX is a single workspace that replaces the need for multiple tools. Live data, charting, scripting, alerts, scanners, and order execution are all integrated - so your analysis and action happen in the same place without switching tabs or apps. You can run it in a ready-made Fixed Layout or a fully customisable Dock Layout.
Live NSE / BSE / MCX Data
Tick-by-tick price feeds for equities, indices, F&O, and currency pairs - no manual refresh needed.
100+ Built-in Indicators
RSI, MACD, VWAP, SuperTrend, Bollinger Bands and more - apply multiple studies on a single chart.
Custom Scripting Engine
Write your own indicators and strategy conditions using the built-in scripting environment.
Real-time Alerts
Trigger notifications on price levels, indicator crossovers, or volume spikes - delivered instantly.
Market Scanners
Scan the entire market for breakouts, volume surges, or pattern conditions across all listed stocks.
Integrated Order Placement
Place market, limit, SL, and bracket orders without leaving your chart or analysis view.
Fixed or Dock Layout
Pick a ready-made chart grid with a pinned watchlist, or a free-form dock workspace where you drag, split, tab and resize every panel.
Saved Workspaces
Your arrangement saves automatically. Keep multiple named workspaces - for example one for options and one for charting - and switch between them any time.
One Live Session at a Time
Live data streams to one browser or device at a time. Opening SignalX elsewhere lets you move streaming to that window with one click.
If you are new, start with the Platform Tour to understand the interface layout before exploring individual modules. On your first login SignalX also asks you to choose a layout - you can change it later.
How the Workspace Is Organized
SignalX offers two layouts. In Fixed Layout the interface is split into four persistent zones, described below. Understanding what lives where saves you time every session - especially when markets are moving fast. Dock Layout is covered right after.
Top Bar - Global Controls
Symbol search, timeframe selector, chart type, indicator library, bar replay, undo/redo, and export. Always visible across every session.
Chart Area - Main Canvas
Live and historical price rendering, indicator sub-panels, drawing overlays, zoom/pan, and the right-click action menu.
Left Panel - Drawing Tools
Trendlines, Fibonacci retracements, horizontal levels, shapes, arrows, text labels, and the measurement tool.
Right Panel - Watchlists
Multiple named watchlists with live LTP, change %, and volume. Click any symbol to load it instantly onto the chart.
All four zones stay visible simultaneously - no need to close one panel to access another. Resize the chart and watchlist panels by dragging the divider between them.
Choose Your Layout: Fixed or Dock
The first time you open SignalX you are asked to choose a workspace layout. You can switch at any time without losing your setup.
Fixed Layout
Ready-made chart grids with the watchlist alongside. Pick a multi-chart preset and start trading right away. Right-sidebar tools open from the sidebar.
Dock Layout
Free-form workspace. Drag, split, tab and resize charts and panels anywhere. Everything from the right sidebar opens from the Widgets menu in the top bar.
Switch layouts from the layout icon in the top bar or from the profile menu in the top-right corner. See the Switch to Dock Layout guide for the full walkthrough.
A Typical Trading Session on SignalX
Most traders follow a repeatable sequence from pre-market prep through to post-market review. Here is how that maps to SignalX features.
Pre-market: Build Your Watchlist
Add potential candidates to a named watchlist the night before. Review higher timeframe charts and mark key levels using horizontal lines and Fibonacci tools.
Market Open: Run the Scanner
Use the scanner to catch early momentum - filter by volume surge, gap up/down, or breakout conditions. Add qualifying symbols directly to your session watchlist.
Intraday: Let Alerts Do the Watching
Set price or indicator alerts on your shortlisted stocks so you are notified the moment a setup triggers - without needing to stare at every chart.
Post-market: Review with Bar Replay
Replay the session candle-by-candle. Identify where your entry/exit logic held up and where it broke - essential for building consistency.
Save a layout after your pre-market prep so your charts, drawings, and indicators are exactly where you left them when the session begins. In Dock Layout, use the workspace dropdown in the top bar (Save layout, or Ctrl+S) and keep a separate workspace for each style of trading.
One Live Data Session at a Time
Your plan streams live data to a single browser or device at a time. If you open SignalX in a second browser while it is already live in the first, the second window waits for you to decide which one should stream.
Single Browser Streaming
Only one browser or device receives live ticks. Other windows stay paused and show "-" for prices.
Take Control Here
On first load in a second window, click Take control here to move live streaming to it. The other session disconnects.
Nothing Is Lost
Charts, watchlists and scanners resume with no reload, and your layout stays exactly as you left it.
Only one browser can stream live data at a time. Seeing "Live data is open in another session" is expected, not an error - see the Live Data Sessions guide in Getting Started for the full walkthrough.
