Copy of Navigating the Analysis Interface

The Nunchi trading analysis interface is organized into two main panels: the Chart Panel on the left and the Order Book Panel on the right.

The Chart Panel 🔗

Orderbook Panel 🔗

How to Use Them Together: Use the chart to identify long-term trends and support/resistance levels. Use the CLOB to gauge short-term order flow and identify liquidity pockets for your entries and exits.

Below these are your account management tabs, where you will manage your orders, positions, and balances.

The Chart Panel

The chart provides a real-time visualization of market activity for the selected asset (e.g., VIX/USD).

• Timeframe Selector (1m, 5m, 1h, etc.). Located at the top left, this allows you to change the time interval for each candlestick on the chart. Selecting "5m" means each candle represents 5 minutes of price action.

• OHLC Data. Directly under the asset name, you will find the OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close) data for the currently selected candle. This gives you a precise summary of price movement within that interval.

• Candlesticks:

  • Green Candle. The price closed higher than it opened (bullish).

  • Red Candle. The price closed lower than it opened (bearish).

  • Wicks. The thin lines extending from the candle body show the highest and lowest prices reached during the interval.

  • Volume Bar: The bars at the bottom of the chart indicate the trading volume for each interval.

The Central Limit Order Book (CLOB) Panel

The CLOB is a real-time map of supply and demand, showing all resting limit orders from other traders.

• Asks (Sellers): The red rows at the top show the prices at which other users are willing to sell. The lowest ask is the "best ask."

• Bids (Buyers): The green rows at the bottom show the prices at which other users are willing to buy. The highest bid is the "best bid."

• Mid-Price: The price displayed in the center is the midpoint between the best bid and the best ask. This is often used as the "mark price" for the exchange.

Columns:

• Price (USD): The price per contract for the resting orders.

• Qty (VIX): The number of contracts available at that price level.

• Total (USD): The total notional value (Price × Qty) at each price level.

How to Use Them Together: Use the chart to identify long-term trends and support/resistance levels. Use the CLOB to gauge short-term order flow and identify liquidity pockets for your entries and exits.
