Candle Tooltip

The candle tooltip is the chart's built-in data inspector. Hover over any bar to reveal its Open, High, Low, and Close prices along with Volume and percentage change. The tooltip automatically aligns when multiple timeframes or panes share the same hover position, giving you a unified data readout across the entire layout.

Unlike static indicators, the tooltip is transient — it appears on hover and disappears when you move away, keeping the chart clean while giving you on-demand access to bar-level detail. It respects the chart's visible range and handles multi-symbol watchlists by showing the data for the hovered instrument.

The tooltip renders as a floating panel positioned near the hovered bar. It automatically avoids the chart edges — if the bar is near the top of the chart, the tooltip appears below it; if near the right edge, it shifts left. This adaptive positioning ensures the readout is always fully visible without manual adjustment.

The panel background uses a semi-transparent dark fill with a subtle border, making it legible against both light and dark chart backgrounds. Text is rendered in the chart's configured font family and size, and decimal precision follows the instrument's quote convention.

When linked crosshair mode is active, the tooltip extends its readout across all panes in the layout. Hovering over a bar in the main price pane shows not only the price data but also the corresponding values for every indicator pane below it — RSI, MACD, volume, or custom studies — all at the same point in time.

This synchronization works across multiple tabs and windows in a multi-chart layout. Each pane displays its own tooltip with the relevant data, all driven by the same crosshair position.

When viewing the same instrument at different resolutions across panes (e.g., 15min and 1h), the tooltip aligns bars by their closing time. The higher-resolution pane shows the current bar's detail while the lower-resolution pane shows the encompassing bar, giving you a coherent view of the same moment across timeframes.

Alignment uses the bar's closing timestamp as the synchronization key. If the higher- timeframe bar spans multiple lower-timeframe bars, the tooltip shows data for the lower-timeframe bar that ends at the same time as the higher-timeframe bar.

1. 1
   Enable the tooltip

   The candle tooltip is active by default. Toggle it from the chart settings or the toolbar view menu.
2. 2
   Hover a bar

   Move the cursor over any candle, bar, or volume column. A floating panel appears with the bar's data values.
3. 3
   Read across panes

   With linked crosshair enabled, the tooltip shows values for all indicators and symbols at the same time coordinate.
4. 4
   Lock the readout

   Hold Shift while hovering to freeze the tooltip, allowing careful inspection of values without cursor drift.
5. 5
   Dismiss

   Move the cursor away from the bar or press Esc to dismiss a locked tooltip.

When hovering at the boundary between two bars, the tooltip snaps to the nearest bar based on the cursor's position relative to each bar's midpoint. The snap threshold can be configured in the crosshair settings.

In very dense chart areas with many overlapping bars (e.g., tick charts), the tooltip shows data for the topmost bar in the z-order. Zooming in can help disambiguate overlapping bars.

The tooltip content is exposed to screen readers via ARIA live regions. When the tooltip is visible, its content is announced to assistive technology. Locked tooltips persist in the accessibility tree until dismissed by the user.

Keyboard-only users can enable a focus-based tooltip mode where tabbing through bars triggers the tooltip without requiring a mouse hover. This mode is available in the accessibility settings panel.
