How to Read Bitpont Charts

Read the label before the line

On Swap, select Candles or Reference line. Candle Price basis offers Automatic, Exact pair and Input / USD. Exact-pair observations express output-token units per input token. Input / USD values the input asset in dollars. A reference line contains sampled price observations, not reconstructed candle trades.

On Perps, choose Oracle prices or Contract fills. The oracle is used for protocol valuation; a fill series describes observed contract executions. Neither is a guaranteed price for your next order.

Navigate the chart

1. Choose a timeframe or interval. Use the available time controls. A candle’s interval and the total visible history are different settings.
2. Inspect actual observations. Move over the chart to read the timestamp and available values. Open, high, low and close describe that candle’s interval. A missing interval is not proof of a flat price.
3. Adjust the view. Ordinary scrolling moves the page. Hold Ctrl or Command while scrolling over either chart to zoom around the pointer. Use a range preset or drag horizontally to inspect history; vertical touch gestures keep page scrolling available. Focus the plot and use plus/minus to zoom, arrow keys to pan, and Home to reset. Latest returns to the newest observations. Price, Percent and Log change how values are displayed.
4. Use another presentation. The recent-values table offers a text view; CSV exports the displayed observations with their units. Fullscreen enlarges the chart without changing the source data.

Why two renderer names can appear

Choose Auto, Bitpont or TradingView in the Chart selector. Auto reuses an available renderer or starts with the small Bitpont view, keeping the optional TradingView download out of the initial page load. It does not replace a working view unexpectedly. Selecting TradingView loads its Lightweight Charts renderer while the current chart stays visible; your selection is remembered on this browser. Both use the same market history from Bitpont’s data services. This is not the full TradingView platform or a TradingView price feed. Switching the view cannot provide history that a data source does not have.

If the chart is empty or stale

Use its refresh or retry control, check the pair and basis, or try the available reference view. Some assets have no matching pool or sufficient history. A fallback renderer cannot create missing market data. Recent saved observations can appear immediately with a delayed-data label while a fresh history request runs. Their original timestamp stays visible. Old observations may also remain after a failed refresh; they are never a fresh executable quote.

The page and trading controls load independently of the chart. A successful chart does not establish a working trade route; an unavailable chart does not by itself prevent a fresh quote. Use the actual quote or order review for execution decisions.
