For the line chart, you can change the line color, the line thickness and whether the space behind the line should be filled or not.
For Heikin-Ashi and Japanese candlesticks, you can set the color for both bullish (uptrend) and bearish (downtrend) candlesticks as well as choose to have them filled or shallow. The latter option helps to improve chart readability for traders with color blindness.
Lastly, for bars, you can choose the color of uptrend and downtrend bars.
Time interval customization
For all chart types except the line one, there is an option to configure the time interval that will define what time frame is used to form a candlestick or a bar. You can choose the interval from five seconds to one month. Selecting small time intervals allows seeing the most recent trends whereas bigger intervals can help you identify long-term price movements. To choose the time interval, simply click the "Time Interval" button and select the one you wish to apply to your current chart.
