You can access these charts through MetaTrader 4/5 or directly via the Exness web terminal. Understanding how to read trading charts on Exness helps you identify patterns, react to price levels, and plan trades with structure rather than impulse.

Key Components of a Trading Chart

Every chart on Exness consists of several basic parts. Let’s break them down so you can understand what you’re seeing:

Core Elements:

• Price axis (vertical) – shows how much the asset is worth
• Time axis (horizontal) – shows when price movements occurred
• Candlesticks or bars – show price movement in a specific timeframe
• Indicators – overlays that help analyze trends or momentum
• Volume (optional) – shows how many contracts or lots were traded

Chart Types Available on Exness

Reading Candlestick Charts: The Most Used Format

Candlestick charts are widely used because they give a lot of information in a single visual. Each candle includes:

• Open: Where price started during that timeframe
• Close: Where price ended
• High: The peak price reached
• Low: The bottom price hit

Color codes:

• Green/blue candle = price went up
• Red candle = price went down

Recognizing basic candlestick patterns can help anticipate future price direction.

Basic Candlestick Patterns to Know

• Doji – Price opened and closed almost at the same level (indecision)
• Hammer – Small body, long lower wick (possible bullish reversal)
• Engulfing – A full candle wraps around the previous one (trend change)

Common Timeframes and Their Uses

How to Customize Charts on Exness

Once you open a chart on the platform, you can customize it based on your preference and strategy.

Customization Options:

• Change chart type (candlestick, bar, line)
• Select timeframes depending on trade length
• Add technical indicators like Moving Averages or RSI
• Draw support/resistance lines manually
• Zoom in/out for more or less detail

All of these help you adapt the chart to your trading style.

Most Useful Indicators for Chart Reading on Exness

• Moving Averages (MA) – Smooths price data to show trends
• Relative Strength Index (RSI) – Identifies overbought/oversold zones
• MACD – Measures momentum and crossovers
• Bollinger Bands – Tracks volatility
• Volume – Highlights market activity

Each of these can be added to a chart with just a few clicks and helps clarify the story the price is telling.

Practical Tips for Reading Charts Accurately

Reading a chart isn’t about predicting the future — it’s about recognizing structure and making decisions based on patterns and probabilities.

Helpful Habits:

• Always start with a larger timeframe (daily) before zooming in
• Use indicators as confirmation, not as sole decision-makers
• Combine visual patterns with price levels
• Avoid emotional interpretations — let the data guide your plan

Real Example: Reading a EUR/USD Chart on Exness

Let’s say you're watching a 15-minute candlestick chart. You notice:

• Price forming a series of higher lows
• RSI rising steadily but not yet overbought
• Price approaching a recent resistance level

From these clues, you might conclude a short-term bullish trend is in place, and if resistance is broken, a new upward move could start. This type of analysis comes from reading the chart, not guessing.
