Chart Type Display
Displays the current chart type and settings on the chart
Shows the current chart type configuration directly on the chart as a text overlay. Automatically detects the chart type — Minutes, Volume, Trades/Tick, or Range — and displays it with the period value. Useful in multi-chart layouts where you need to quickly confirm chart settings at a glance.
The Concept
When working with multiple charts at different resolutions — minutes, volume, ticks, range — it's easy to forget which chart type you're looking at. Chart Type Display places a text overlay directly on the chart showing the current chart type and period value. This simple utility eliminates guesswork in complex multi-chart layouts.
How to Read It
A text label shows the chart configuration — there are no trading signals.
- The display automatically detects chart type: Minutes, Volume, Trades/Tick, or Range
- The period value is shown alongside the type for immediate identification
- Position is configurable — place it where it's visible but not obscuring price action
- Optional transparent background lets the text float cleanly over the chart
Practical Tips
Position the text in a corner that doesn't conflict with your other studies. The Horizontal and Vertical Position inputs use chart-relative coordinates. Enable Transparent Label Background for a cleaner look. Especially useful when sharing screenshots or recording — viewers immediately know the chart configuration.
