The trading forum is located in the Product Library of the platform. Simply click on the icon shown in the image below, and select ‘Chart Forum’.

Our chart forum essentially allows users to become part of our social trading community. Here, you can read charting analysis from our expert market analysts, and you can comment, add extra drawing tools to the chart and change the layout of the chart. For example, if the price chart is shown with a candlestick layout, but you would like to change this to a Heikin Ashi or Renko chart, it is possible to do so. You can also apply additional technical indicators to further your analysis of price action, or use our manual chart pattern scanner to identify potential trends that have not yet been spotted.
Using our trading forum, users can interact with not only our market analysts but also each other. This is a good way to learn from more experienced traders and practise your copy trading strategies.
