The live chart, without the costume.

The chart is SOL. One candle is one stretch of time. Green closed higher than it opened. Red closed lower. Nothing on the chart is an order. A click on this site posts a paper ticket. A real SOL perp opens on Jupiter.

The buttons on top

1W, 1D, and 4H are the bigger picture. 1H, 15m, and 5m are the trade. The desk’s entry watch is the 15-minute.

  • 1W and 1D. The swing. A long day can still be a red week.
  • 4H and 1H. The session. This is where a sweep of the high or the low shows up.
  • 15m. The close that matters. Atlas needs this candle to close through the 9.
  • 5m. The noise inside that 15-minute candle. A 5-minute poke is not a close.

The three lines

Each line is an average of the closes. The legend prints the price of the line and whether the last close is above it or below it.

  • EMA 9, blue. The fast line. A 15-minute close through this line is the desk’s trigger. No close, no trade.
  • EMA 20, purple, thicker. The one the bias chip uses. Bullish means the 15-minute and the 5-minute are both rising and holding above the 20. Bearish means both are falling and holding under it. If they disagree, the chip stays flat.
  • EMA 50, gold. The slower line. Price under the 50 is not a dip to buy just because the week was green.

Above the line is not a long. Below the line is not a short. The line only says where the average is.

Jules’s marks

Jules paints levels on the live candles. She only keeps a level that is close to the current price. Far levels are left off so the chart stays readable.

  • WICK. The high of the window on screen.
  • SHELF. A lower high under that wick. Old ceiling.
  • LOW. The low of the window.
  • SWING. A higher low inside that window.
  • SWEEP. A liquidity run through a prior high or low, when the scan has one. A sweep by itself is not a trade.

Other lines show up only when a ticket is actually loaded. Green is an entry. Red dashed is a stop. Purple dashed is a target. A pending perp can also print TP, SL, and LIQ.

The bubbles

The pills on the candles are news. Each one is a headline pinned to the candle it landed on. Hover it for the source. A letter, a name, or a green dot is not a buy. A red one is not a sell. The desk does not mark your fills on this chart.

How to read it

  1. Start on the 4H or 1H. Are the highs getting lower, or higher?
  2. Drop to the 15m. Is the close above the blue 9, or under it?
  3. Check the purple 20 on both the 15m and the 5m. If they disagree, there is no bias.
  4. Look for a sweep into a wick or a low, then a close back through the 9. That is the sequence. One piece is not enough.
  5. Zoom and pan if you need the older candles. Reset puts the whole window back on screen.

Not a promise. The chart shows the price and the averages. It does not owe you a trade.
