Every timeframe from five seconds to one month, and how to switch.
Change timeframe from the menu at the top left of the chart. Your position, your orders and the clock all stay exactly where they were.
What is available
Group | Timeframes |
|---|---|
Seconds | 5s, 10s, 15s, 30s |
Minutes | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 30, 45 |
Hours | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 |
Longer | Daily, Weekly, Monthly |
Seconds data goes back years, not days — you can replay 15-second candles from 2024 as easily as from last month.
Why some timeframes load instantly and others pause
Some sizes come straight from the data provider. Others — 3-minute and 45-minute, for example — are built by combining smaller candles. Both are accurate; the built ones occasionally take a moment longer the first time.
After the first load a timeframe is cached, so switching back is instant. TradifyFX also quietly pre-loads the timeframes you are most likely to want a few seconds after the chart opens.
A higher timeframe candle will not appear until it has closed. If you are on the 1-hour chart and the clock says 14:20, the 14:00 candle is still forming and is not shown yet — showing it would leak information a real trader could not have had. Switch to tick-by-tick printing if you want to watch it build.
Typing your own
The menu covers the supported list. Sizes outside it get snapped to the nearest supported timeframe rather than being built — so stick to the menu.
