A guided walkthrough of every section of the SignalX interface - what each area does, and how to use it effectively.

1

Top Toolbar

Global Controls

The top navigation bar is your primary control strip - always visible across every session. It houses everything from symbol selection and chart configuration to session utilities like bar replay, undo/redo, and export.

Export the chart's underlying OHLCV data as a CSV file for use in spreadsheets, backtesting tools, or custom analysis.

tips_and_updates

Use Bar Replay after-market to practice reading price action on any past session - it's the fastest way to build pattern recognition.

2

Chart Area

Core View

The chart area is the central canvas of SignalX. It renders live and historical price action for your selected symbol and timeframe, and hosts all your drawings, indicators, and analysis overlays.

Chart Area in SIgnalx
candlestick_chart

Price Action Rendering

Displays candles, bars, or line charts with smooth real-time updates during market hours. Scroll back to load historical data automatically.

tips_and_updates

Press Escape at any time to exit the active drawing tool and switch back to cursor/select mode.

4

Watchlist Panel

Symbol Management

The right panel is your symbol hub. Create and manage watchlists, monitor live prices, and load any symbol onto the chart with a single click - or by dragging it directly onto the canvas.

Market watchlist
price_change

Live Price Feed

Each row displays LTP, absolute change, and percentage change, updated tick-by-tick during market hours.

category

Grouped by Segment

Symbols are automatically grouped under collapsible headers - Indices, Futures, Stocks, and more - each showing a live symbol count.

view_column

Customisable Columns

Open the gear icon's Columns tab to add or remove data points - Price & Changes (Open, High, Low, P Close, ATP, SparkLine), Volume & Activity (Total Volume, Tick Volume, Turnover, Timestamp), Open Interest (OI, OI Change, OI Change %, OI Prev Close), and Order Book (Bid, Ask, Bid Qty, Ask Qty).

tune

Display Settings

The gear icon's General tab lets you toggle Group Headers, Table View (gridlines), and Detail Pane (an inline symbol chart), plus choose a Flash Mode - Digit Flash, Background, or None - for price updates. A Reset Watchlist option is also available here.

list_alt

Multiple Watchlists

Click the watchlist name dropdown to switch between saved watchlists, each showing its symbol count. Rename or delete any watchlist inline, or use 'Create New' to add another.

add_circle_outline

Add Symbols

Use the search bar inside the panel to add any NSE/BSE equity, index, F&O contract, or currency pair to the active watchlist.

touch_app

Click to Load Chart

Click any symbol row to instantly load it onto the main chart area. The current timeframe and drawings are preserved.

drag_indicator

Drag onto Chart

Drag any symbol from the watchlist and drop it directly onto the chart canvas to load that symbol - fast and intuitive, especially with a multi-monitor setup.

swap_vert

Reorder Symbols

Drag symbol rows up or down within the watchlist to reorder them. Your custom order is saved automatically.

tips_and_updates

Drag a symbol from your watchlist onto the chart to load it without interrupting your keyboard or mouse workflow.

5

Multi-Chart Layout

Chart Layout

Multichart lets you view multiple symbols or timeframes side-by-side in a single workspace. Split the screen into 2, 4, or 6 chart panels - each fully independent with its own symbol, timeframe, indicators, and drawings.

Mulitple Chart layout
grid_view

Layout Selector

Choose from 1 up to 8 panels using the grid icon in the top bar - each panel count offers several split arrangements (rows, columns, and mixed grids) to pick from, not just a single fixed layout.

open_in_new

Independent Panels

Each panel has its own symbol, timeframe, chart type, indicators, and drawings, so changes in one panel don't affect the others - unless Sync Mode is turned on, in which case timeframe and crosshair changes apply across all panels together.

open_with

Drag & Resize Panels

Drag a panel's border to resize it relative to its neighbours, letting you give more screen space to the chart you're focused on within any layout.

sync

Sync Mode

Enable Sync to lock all panels to the same timeframe and crosshair position. Useful for multi-timeframe analysis on the same symbol.

touch_app

Drag from Watchlist

Drag any symbol from the right watchlist panel and drop it into any chart panel to load it instantly.

save

Autosave Layout

With autosave turned on, your multichart workspace - panel layout, symbols, and settings - saves automatically as you work, so it's restored exactly as you left it next session.

tips_and_updates

Use the 2×2 layout for multi-timeframe analysis - e.g. NIFTY on 15m, 1h, 1D, and BankNIFTY on 15m all visible at once.

6

Option Chain

Derivatives

The Option Chain opens from the 2nd icon in the right-side icon rail, docking as a panel next to the chart first. It shows live strike-wise Call and Put data for NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, and all F&O stocks - including OI, IV, Greeks, LTP, and volume - without leaving the chart.

Option Chain
table_chart

Strike-wise CE / PE Data

Each row shows one strike price. Call (CE) data on the left, Put (PE) data on the right, with OI, change in OI, LTP, IV, and volume for each side.

date_range

Expiry Selector

Switch between weekly and monthly expiries using the dropdown at the top of the panel. Near-expiry contracts update faster.

insights

OI Bar Visualisation

Colour-coded OI bars make it visually obvious where the heaviest Call and Put open interest is concentrated - key support and resistance zones.

flag

Max Pain Strike

The Max Pain level is calculated and highlighted automatically - the strike at which options sellers face the least combined loss at expiry.

compare_arrows

PCR (Put Call Ratio)

PCR is displayed at the top of the panel. PCR > 1 indicates more Put writing - generally bullish. PCR < 0.7 signals caution.

functions

Greeks Toggle

Enable the Greeks checkbox at the top of the panel to switch the CE/PE columns to Delta, Theta, Vega, Gamma, Rho, and IV for every strike.

view_column

Customisable Columns

Open the gear icon to choose exactly which columns show - Bid, Bid Qty, Ask, Ask Qty, Change, OI, POI, Volume, LTP, Timestamp, and every Greek - plus Display options like OI Bars, Real-Time updates, Lakh/Cr formatting, and Lot Size.

open_in_new

Full-Screen Overlay

The docked panel is a preview - for the complete strike ladder with expiry tabs and Greeks, use the overlay/expand button lower down in the right-side icon rail to open Option Chain full screen.

tips_and_updates

Watch for OI buildup at a specific strike during the session - strikes with the highest Call OI act as resistance, highest Put OI as support.

7

Strategy Builder

Options Strategy

The Strategy Builder sits alongside the Option Chain. Add legs straight from the chain with a single click, watch the payoff diagram and Greeks update live in the Strategy Basket, and read off Max Profit, Max Loss, and margin at the bottom - all without leaving the page.

Strategy Builder
add_box

Build Directly from the Option Chain

Click the B or S button on any CE or PE row in the Option Chain to add that strike as a leg. The leg is added to the Strategy Basket instantly, no separate builder screen needed.

table_rows

Strategy Basket

Every leg you add appears as a row with Action (B/S), Expiry, Strike, Type (CE/PE), Qty, and Price - plus per-leg Delta, Theta, Vega, Gamma, and IV.

show_chart

Live Payoff Diagram

The P/L curve plots across a range of underlying prices, with the current LTP marked as a dashed line and the profit (green) and loss (red) zones shaded on either side of the breakeven.

date_range

Expiry Tabs

All available weekly and monthly expiries are listed as tabs above the chain. Switch expiries to add legs from a different series into the same strategy basket.

edit

Editable Qty & Price

Adjust the quantity or price of any leg directly inside the basket - the payoff diagram and every summary stat below recalculate instantly.

summarize

Strategy Summary Stats

Underlying price, Max Profit, Max Loss, POP (probability of profit), Breakevens, Span Margin, Exposure, and Total Margin are all shown together at the bottom of the panel.

tips_and_updates

Add one leg at a time and watch the payoff diagram reshape after each addition - it's the fastest way to understand how each leg changes your breakeven and max loss.

Top Movers

Market Pulse

The Top Movers panel on the right side shows real-time lists of the day's biggest gainers and losers across NSE and BSE. Use it to spot momentum stocks, unusual movers, and volume leaders without running a manual scan.

Top Movers
trending_up

Top Gainers

Live ranked list of stocks with the highest percentage gain for the day. Updates tick-by-tick. Click any row to load that symbol's chart instantly.

trending_down

Top Losers

Live ranked list of stocks with the steepest percentage decline for the day. Useful for spotting short candidates or oversold bounces.

bar_chart

Volume Leaders

Stocks with the highest traded volume today, regardless of direction. High volume with price movement confirms institutional participation.

bolt

52-Week Movers

Stocks hitting fresh 52-week highs or lows today. Breakout traders watch this list closely for momentum entries.

filter_list

Segment Filter

Filter the movers list by segment - NSE Equity, BSE Equity, NSE F&O, or NIFTY 50 / NIFTY 500 constituents only.

touch_app

One-click to Chart

Click any symbol in the movers list to load it directly onto the active chart panel. The current timeframe and drawings are preserved.

tips_and_updates

Check Top Gainers in the first 15 minutes after market open - stocks already up 2%+ on high volume in the opening candle often continue trending intraday.

9

Price Ladder ( DOM )

Market Depth

The Price Ladder (DOM) shows bid and ask quantities stacked against every price level, so you can read market depth right beside your chart. It is built for quick, readable order-book monitoring.

Price Ladder (DOM) in SignalX
menu_open

Easy to Open

Open the Price Ladder from the right-side menu, or from the chart's right-click menu, without leaving your chart.

bolt

Instant Bid / Ask

Bid and ask appear straight away, before the full market depth finishes loading, so you are never left looking at an empty ladder.

blur_off

Flicker-Free Updates

The ladder doesn't flicker on every tick, so the price levels stay steady and easy to read even in fast markets.

save

Remembers Toolbar Settings

Your toolbar settings are saved automatically, so the ladder opens just the way you left it next time.

view_column

Ladder Columns

Each price level shows a Mini Chart, Bid, Price, Ask, and Volume, with the current price row highlighted in the middle of the ladder.

info_outline

Live Info Strip

A strip at the bottom keeps LTP, Bid, Ask, Tick size, and Lot size in view at all times.

tips_and_updates

Keep the Price Ladder docked next to your chart - watching bid and ask quantities build up around the current price gives you context that candles alone can't.

Corporate Announcements

Corporate Events

The Announcements panel aggregates live corporate filings, exchange notices, and regulatory announcements directly from NSE and BSE. Stay informed of board meetings, results dates, dividends, splits, and bonus announcements without leaving SignalX.

Corporate Announcement

Enable notifications for specific stocks in the Announcements panel - SignalX will alert you the moment a new filing is submitted for that company.

10

Market News

News Feed

The Market News panel streams live financial news headlines directly into SignalX as they're published, so you can catch what's moving the market without switching tabs.

Market News
feed

Live News Feed

Headlines stream in continuously throughout the trading session, in the order they're published - no refresh needed.

source

Source Link on Every Headline

Each news item carries a link to the original source, so you can open the full article on the publisher's site with one click.

tips_and_updates

Pair Market News with the Heat Map - a red sector alongside a cluster of negative headlines is usually the fastest way to confirm what's driving the move.

11

TS Window ( Tick By Tick Data )

Order Flow

The TS (Time & Sales) Window tracks the symbol currently loaded on your active chart and streams every executed trade for it as a live, tick-by-tick log - side, size, price, and time - giving you a raw view of order flow beneath the price action.

TS Window in SignalX
sync_alt

Follows the Active Chart Symbol

The TS Window automatically tracks whatever symbol is loaded on your working chart - switch the chart symbol and the tick log switches with it. Use the search bar at the top to look up and pin a different symbol independently if needed.

receipt_long

Tick-by-Tick Trade Log

Every executed trade streams in as a new row with four columns - Side, Size, Price, and Time - in the exact order it happened, down to the second.

palette

Buy / Sell Colour Coding

Each trade is tagged B or S. Buy-side trades print in green, sell-side trades print in red, so you can read aggression at a glance without checking the price column.

bar_chart

Trade Size Histogram

A live bar chart above the log plots the size of recent trades, colour-coded by side, so unusually large prints stand out visually before you even scan the table.

priority_high

Large Trade Highlighting

Trades that are significantly larger than the surrounding size get their entire row highlighted, making block and bulk deals impossible to miss as they print.

schedule

Precise Timestamps

Each row carries an hour:minute:second timestamp, so you can line up prints exactly against a chart pattern or a news headline.

tips_and_updates

Watch the size histogram, not just the table - a sudden tall bar usually means a large print just went through, worth checking the highlighted row for the exact size and side.

12

Heatmap

Market Overview

The Heatmap panel gives you a visual overview of the entire market at a glance. Each stock is represented as a colour-coded block - green for gainers, red for losers - sized by market cap. Spot sector rotations and broad market sentiment in seconds.

Heatmap in SignalX
grid_view

Market Cap Sizing

Each block's size represents the company's market capitalisation. Larger companies like Reliance, TCS, and HDFC Bank occupy more visual space.

palette

Colour Coding

Deep green = strong gainer (>2%). Light green = mild gainer. Light red = mild decline. Deep red = strong loser. Intensity scales with percentage change.

category

info_outline

Hover for Details

Hover over any block to see the stock's name, LTP, change %, volume, and sector without navigating away from the heatmap.

tips_and_updates

If the heatmap shows a single sector entirely red while others are green, that's a sector-specific event - check the Announcements panel for related news.

13

Scripting Panel

Automation

The Scripting Panel lets you build custom indicators and automations using TD Scripting - SignalX's JavaScript-based scripting engine. Write scripts that react to live ticks, plot custom studies on the chart, and pull historical or option chain data on demand.

Scripting Engine in SignalX
code

terminal

Console Output

Every TD.log() call streams into the built-in console, so you can watch live tick data, debug values, and error messages as your script runs.

folder_open

Script Library

Save, rename, and organise multiple scripts. Reopen any saved script instantly without losing your work between sessions.

show_chart

Chart Plotting

Use TD.onChartBar with TD.Chart.plot to draw custom lines, markers, and shapes directly onto the active chart as a live indicator.
