Reading 21 Timeframes in Short.

Ask an experienced trader what they look at and the answer is rarely one chart. A trading mobile app built for operations in the Forex and exchange markets has to support that reality, which is why Trade Master 9 allows up to 100 charts open at a time across 21 timeframes rather than a handful of fixed intervals.

Multi-timeframe reading is a discipline more than a feature. The higher interval tells you what kind of market you are in — trending, ranging, or somewhere uncomfortable in between. The middle interval is where the setup forms. The lower one is where you time the entry and place the stop. Getting those three to agree is what separates a considered trade from a reaction, and it requires intervals fine enough to be useful and coarse enough to see structure.

The chart count matters for a different reason. Traders who follow eight or ten instruments do not want to reload a single chart ten times, applying studies again each time. Keeping prepared charts open, each with its own indicators and drawings, turns a morning review into a few minutes of scrolling rather than half an hour of setup.

Graphic objects and more than 80 indicators sit on top of all of it, and templates keep the workload sane: build the view once, apply it to anything new. Because layouts and watchlists follow the account, the same arrangement is waiting whether you open the desktop terminal, the Web Platform or the phone. The other pages in this section cover indicators, fundamental data and the economic calendar, while the home page covers the app itself in full.

How do traders combine several timeframes on one instrument?

The common pattern is three charts per instrument: one for context, one for the setup, one for timing. With 21 intervals to choose from, that structure can be tuned to a strategy rather than forced into the four or five a simpler app offers.

How many charts can you open, and how do you manage them?

Chart count is bounded by your machine rather than the licence, and every chart carries its own studies. Saving templates is what keeps a large workspace manageable when you add an instrument.

Templates are what make 100 charts usable

Twenty-one timeframes and up to 100 charts are only an advantage if applying your studies to a new instrument takes one action rather than twenty. That is what a saved template is for, and setting one up on day one is the difference between a workspace and a pile of windows.

Good to know

The platform supplies the trading terminals, analysis tools and automation; your broker holds the funds, sets spreads and leverage, and executes the orders the platform sends.
