March 27, 2026

In trading, timing and insight can make a meaningful difference. That’s why market analysis is more than a routine for many traders—it’s a core part of the decision-making process. TradeStation TITAN X is designed with that in mind, offering advanced charting tools intended to help traders react quickly and analyze markets with greater clarity.

 

Why Use TITAN X for Charting?

TITAN X places no limit on the number of charts you can open at once, allowing you to monitor multiple markets and timeframes simultaneously. With flexible customization, a broad set of technical tools, and integrated order entry, the platform is built to help traders stay organized and informed across changing market conditions.

 

Getting Started with Your Chart

Open a Chart

Click Chart from the Components menu to launch a new chart window.

Find Your Symbol

  • Type a ticker directly into the Symbol box in the top left, or search by name.
  • Use the tabs across the top of the symbol search to browse by asset class—stocks, futures, indexes, and more.

Navigate Your Chart

  • Scroll with your mouse wheel to adjust the spacing between bars.
  • Click and drag the time or price axes to explore historical data with precision.
  • Double-click either axis to snap back to the default view.

 

Adjust

Volume is shown automatically. To customize or hide it, go to Chart Settings → Data tab.

 

Customize Your Timeframe and Chart Type

Set Your Aggregation

Use the Aggregation button to select your preferred timeframe. Don’t see the interval you need? Choose Custom to define your own using seconds, minutes, or ticks.

Choose a Chart Type

TITAN X supports multiple chart styles to suit different analytical approaches:

Chart Type Description
