About Advanced Chart Types
Most traders use candlesticks because they’re familiar and versatile, but candlesticks aren’t built for everything. As they are time-based, this means that every candle appears, regardless of whether the move is significant or not.
BlinkX’s advanced chart types go beyond time-bound candles. They are price-based, meaning new candles or shapes form only when the price actually moves. This gives you:
• Clearer trend structure
• Better reversal visibility
• Cleaner support and resistance zones
• Less noise, more context
Whether you’re studying market sentiment or looking for precise entries, these chart types offer a fresh and more tactical view of price.
What Each Chart Type Offers
Heikin Ashi – Smoother Trends
Heikin Ashi uses modified open and close values to filter out tiny fluctuations. What you see is a smoother, more readable trend.
• Easy-to-follow trend flow
• Reduced noise during choppy sessions
• Great for intraday trend trading or swings
It’s like looking at the market through a clearer lens.
Renko – Every Brick Counts
Renko ignores time completely—a new brick forms only when the price moves by a set amount.
• Clean breakout and continuation signals
• Crisp support and resistance
• Ideal for scalpers and momentum traders
If you want pure movement without distractions, Renko is built for you.
Line Break – Movement Over Time
Line Break charts draw a new line only when the price breaks previous highs or lows.
• Strong reversal filtering
• Clear uptrend/downtrend structure
• Useful in fast, volatile markets
It highlights meaningful shifts without the clutter of time-based candles.
Kagi – Supply and Demand in Motion
Kagi moves in one continuous line and changes direction only when the price reverses by a set amount. The line can even change thickness based on market strength.
• Spot supply-demand shifts
• Identify trend reversals with more confidence
• Great for structure traders and swing traders
It gives you a visual map of market intent.
Point & Figure – Classic Price Action
Used for over a century, P&F charts draw X for up moves and O for down moves, based on defined price increments.
• Sharp breakout and breakdown patterns
• Clear support/resistance
• Works beautifully across timeframes, from intraday to long-term
It’s pure price action at its cleanest.
