How to add an indicator

Liqdar’s indicators show money rather than price: who opens positions, who closes them, who gets liquidated and how much leverage costs. Almost all of them are drawn in their own panes under the candles; a few are drawn right on the candles.

The Indicators window

The Indicators («Индикаторы») button above the chart. Its number shows how many indicators are already on.

In the window:

  • Categories on the left: Technical («Технические», drawn on the candles), Derivatives («Деривативы»), Futures: trade flow («Фьючерс: поток сделок»), Spot («Спот»), Commodities («Сырьё»), Other («Другое»).
  • Search by name.
  • ☆ next to a name adds it to favourites; the Favourites («Избранное») tab shows only marked ones.
  • Added («Добавленные»): what is already on.
  • Templates («Шаблоны»): ready-made and your own sets, see Templates.

Clicking a name turns the indicator on, clicking again turns it off.

Each pane has a legend in its top left corner: the name, the value at the candle under the cursor, and buttons.

Button What it does
↑ / ↓ move the pane up or down
⚙ the indicator’s settings
✕ remove the indicator

Hover over a candle and the legends of all panes show their values on it. A double click on a pane expands it over the whole chart; another one brings the panes back.

⚙ opens the settings of this indicator: exchanges, units, view, style. The bottom of the window always explains where the data comes from and how it is calculated. Settings apply at once, there is no “Apply” button.

  • «нет данных» (no data): the coin has no such data, for example no spot pair or fewer than 10 whales.
  • «Только для 1м…1д» (1m…1d only): the indicator is calculated from clusters and works only on these intervals.
  • A muted colour on the left: data from before our collection started, from another, coarser source (as with liquidations).
