The charting window itself is powered by TradingView, which is currently one of the best and most popular trading interfaces in the world. This means that if you have ever used TradingView in the past, you should already be familiar with the many features available on ActivTrader. If not, you will quickly be able to get to grips with it, as well as finding a way to personalise it to your needs.
