Digital Surge has powerful advanced charts built directly into the app — powered by TradingView — giving you everything you need to analyse price movements and build your technical analysis skills. You don't need a separate TradingView account or to leave Digital Surge: the full charting experience lives right inside the platform.
Whether you're new to charting or already experienced, the advanced charts offer a wide range of tools, indicators and customisation options to help you make informed trading decisions.
This guide introduces the core features so you can navigate the charts with confidence — from reading your first candle to layering up indicators like a seasoned trader.
The basics
Digital Surge's advanced charts provide real-time charts for thousands of price points across every supported cryptocurrency. Through the built-in charting tools, you can:
- View price action using candlesticks, bars or line charts
- Adjust timeframes from 1 minute to 1 week
- Add technical indicators such as moving averages or RSI
- Use drawing tools to identify trends, patterns and support and resistance levels
If you've only used the standard line chart before, the advanced charts unlock far more detail and flexibility.
Accessing the advanced charts
Go to the Buy and Sell page
Select any cryptocurrency you’d like to analyse
In the top right corner of the chart, select the three-candles icon to open the TradingView chart
Once opened, you’ll see a candlestick chart displayed by default.
For a better viewing experience, switch the chart into **expanded view**. This enlarges the chart within the Digital Surge app to give you more room to work — note this is an in-app expanded view, not your browser's true full-screen mode.
To enter expanded view, select the **expand icon** in the chart toolbar. Select it again (or press `Esc`) to return to the standard view.
Expanded view is where the advanced charts really come into their own: with more space you can comfortably layer multiple indicators and drawing tools at once.
Understanding the interface
Chart type and timeframe
The advanced charts display price action through candlesticks by default. Each candle shows the asset's open, high, low and close prices (OHLC) for the selected timeframe.
You can change the timeframe anywhere between:
1 minute for short term analysis
1 week for long term trends
24 hours to all-time for a broader historical view
You can also change the chart style to bars, hollow candles or a simple line graph depending on your preference.
Technical indicators
The advanced charts include many popular indicators. Three of the most widely used are RSI, Moving Averages and Fibonacci retracements — covered in detail below. Not every indicator suits every trader, so take the time to explore and find what works for your strategy.
Drawing tools
On the left side of your screen, you'll find drawing tools that allow you to add:
Trendlines
Channels
Long and short position tools
Fibonacci tools
Shapes and annotations
Some tools are more advanced than others. Start with simple tools like trendlines while you build your confidence.
Technical indicators in detail
Indicators are calculations plotted on (or beneath) your chart that help you interpret momentum, trend and potential reversal points. To add one, open the **Indicators** menu in the chart toolbar, search for the indicator and select it. Here are three of the most useful to start with.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and size of recent price moves on a scale of 0 to 100. It's most commonly used to spot when an asset may be **overbought** (typically above 70) or **oversold** (typically below 30) — conditions that can precede a pullback or a bounce.
RSI plots in its own panel beneath the price chart. Many traders use it to confirm a trend rather than trade on it alone — for example, looking for RSI to recover from oversold territory before considering an entry.
Moving Averages (MA)
A Moving Average smooths out price action into a single flowing line, making the underlying trend easier to read. It averages the closing price over a set number of periods — a 50-period MA, for example, averages the last 50 candles.
Moving Averages help you gauge trend direction (price above a rising MA suggests an uptrend) and can act as dynamic support or resistance. Traders often plot two MAs of different lengths and watch for crossovers as potential trend-change signals.
Fibonacci Retracements
Fibonacci retracements help identify potential support and resistance levels based on key ratios (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8% and 78.6%). After a strong move, price often retraces part of that move before continuing — and these levels highlight where it may pause or reverse.
To apply one, select the **Fib Retracement** tool from the drawing toolbar, then click the start and end of the move you want to measure. The horizontal levels that appear are the zones to watch.
Customising your chart
Personalising your chart helps you read price action more easily.
Double click on any candle to open the Chart Settings window. You’ll find four key sections:
Symbol
Change the appearance of your candles, including colours and added price lines such as moving averages.
Status Line
Toggle information such as the OHLC values shown at the top left of your chart.
Scales
Choose which price labels and data markers appear on your scale.
Appearance
Adjust the chart background, grid lines and other visual elements to suit your style.
Saving your chart templates
If you prefer to use the same layout or indicators across different assets, you can save your chart as a template and apply it anywhere.
Templates store the technical indicators you’ve added, making it simple to maintain a consistent charting setup.
How to draw trendlines
Trendlines are one of the simplest tools for identifying the direction of price movement.
Trendlines are one of the simplest tools for identifying the direction of price movement.
Select the Trendline tool from the left toolbar
For an uptrend, start below the price and connect at least two or more higher lows
For a downtrend, start above the price and connect lower highs
The more times the price touches the trendline, the more meaningful the trend.
Trendlines can act as support or resistance, helping traders spot potential reversal points or continuation patterns.
How to draw a pitchfork
A pitchfork is a more advanced drawing tool used to identify channels, support and resistance levels and trend direction.
To draw one:
Select the Pitchfork tool
Identify three consecutive pivot points (a high, a low and another high, or vice versa)
Click each point in order to plot the pitchfork
This creates a set of parallel lines that can help you visualise potential price paths and key reaction levels.

Digital Surge's advanced charts give you a powerful set of tools to explore price action and build your technical analysis skills — all without leaving the app. With over 300 assets available to chart, it's one of the most useful features for traders who want to deepen their understanding of market behaviour.
Take your time exploring the tools, test different indicators and layouts, and build the setup that works best for you.
