We’ve built our charts using HTML5 technology, to offer an effortless dealing experience.

You can split charts, apply as many indicators as you like and add your own annotations, all without sacrificing speed or stability.

Our charts are designed to perform on any browser – though we recommend Google Chrome for the very best experience – and eliminate the need for Adobe Flash Player and Java.
