Widgets in Robinhood Legend

Robinhood Legend features customisable widgets which are the building blocks of your layout. You can use them to analyse, trade, track, and manage your assets.

Once you add a widget, you can resize, reposition, and customise it to match your trading style and needs.

Chart widget

With a chart widget, you can track an asset’s price movement in a variety of ways. You can also trade directly from the chart and analyse trends with a wide selection of technical indicators and drawing tools.

Chart intervals and axis details

Chart intervals

Intervals represent the time period corresponding to 1 bar on a chart. Examples of interval time periods are 15 minutes, 1 trading day, 4 weeks, and so on. You can choose from preset intervals or create custom intervals.

legend chart intervals

To choose an interval, select the arrows next to Interval at the bottom of the chart widget. You can select and customise any of the following intervals:

  • Tick
  • Range
  • Seconds
  • Minute
  • Hour
  • Day
  • Week
  • Month
  • Year

X-axis

The x-axis is the horizontal scale on your chart that shows how trading data is spread out over time. You can zoom in and out with your mouse or trackpad, or select from the preset times in the lower left of the chart.

To show extended hours for stocks on the x-axis of a chart:

  1. Select the 3 vertical dots at top right of your chart widget.
  2. Select SettingsDataShow extended hours.

Y-axis

The y-axis shows how the price of an asset moves up and down over time, and can be customised to show additional data points. Right-click the y-axis to open a menu with the following options:

  • Auto-scale price axis: Automatically fit data points onto the y-axis of your chart.
  • Fit all indicators: View all indicator data points on the y-axis.
  • Fit all orders: View your orders on the y-axis.
  • Fit all positions: View your positions on the y-axis.

You can also adjust the y-axis scaling to show the value as one of the following:

  • Linear price: Shows prices are positioned equally far away from one another.
  • Linear percent: Shows percentages, not price values. The chart represents OHLC (open, high, low, close) prices as the percentage change, where 0% corresponds to the starting price of the first candle visible on the chart.
  • Logarithmic price: Shows distances between values based on their proportional logarithms as opposed to being spaced evenly. For example: the distance between 1.2 and 2.4 prices is equal to the distance between 0.5 and 1.0. In both cases the second value is twice as big as the first one, so the growth is equal to 100%. This means that both prices will be shown equally far away from one another on the scale.

Chart types

You can choose from a variety of chart types to view market data from different perspectives. To choose a chart type, select the chart types icon at top right of the chart widget, and then select from the options shown.

Available chart types

Area

An area chart shows the closing prices over time using a color-filled area between the current closing price and zero, helping you see trends over time.

Bar

A bar chart shows the opening, high, low, and closing prices for an asset.

Each bar has a vertical line, with a left-facing foot for the opening price and a right-facing foot for the closing price. The bottom tip of the line shows the lowest price, while the top tip shows the highest price. The opening foot marks the starting price, and the closing foot marks the ending price for that time period.

A bar is colored based on whether the current closing price is greater or lower than the previous close.

  • Current closing > previous closing (green by default)
  • Current closing < previous closing (red by default)

Baseline

A baseline chart shows the price movements of an asset in comparison to a baseline price you select along the y-axis. To adjust the baseline price, hover over the solid horizontal line between the red and green area and drag it up or down the y-axis.

The area between the data points and the baseline is colored depending on whether the price is above or below the baseline.

  • Price > baseline (green)
  • Price < baseline (red)

Candle

A candle chart shows an asset's price over time using colored rectangles called candles. Each candle has a body (the rectangle)and wicks (the lines extending up and down).

The candles are colored based on whether the closing price is higher or lower than the opening price.

  • Closing price > opening price (bull, green by default)
  • Closing price < opening price (bear, red by default)

The top of the upper wick marks the highest price during the time period, while the bottom of the lower wick shows the lowest price. The upper and lower edges of the candle body represent the opening and closing prices.

Equivolume

Equivolume charts are like candle charts, but use rectangles called equivolume boxes. The width of each box represents the trading volume during the time period (think more trading volume for wider boxes), and the height shows the price range. The top of the box marks the highest price, and the bottom marks the lowest price.

The body of each box is colored depending on whether the closing price is greater or lower than the opening price of the current interval period.

  • Closing price > opening price (green by default)
  • Closing price < opening price (red by default)

Heikin-Ashi

Heikin-Ashi is a Japanese term meaning average bar. This is a type of candlestick chart that shows the open, high, low, and closing prices for each period. However, these candlesticks are calculated using averages to smooth out price data. This can make it easier to identify trends and spot when those trends might be reversing.

Here’s how each Heikin-Ashi candle is calculated:

  • Open: The average of the previous candle's opening and closing prices.
  • Close: The average of the current period's opening, high, low, and closing prices.
  • High: The highest value from the current period's high, opening, or closing prices.
  • Low: The lowest value from the current period's low, opening, or closing prices.

The body of each box is colored depending on whether the closing price is greater or lower than the opening price of the current interval period.

  • Closing price > opening price (green by default)
  • Closing price < opening price (red by default)

Hollow candles

Hollow candles shows the difference between the closing price and the opening price of the current candle. They also measure the closing price of the previous day against the closing price of the current day.

The candle is colored based on whether the current close is higher than the previous close.

  • Current closing > previous closing (green)
  • Current closing < previous closing (red)

The candle is filled in based on whether the current close is higher than the current open.

  • Current closing > current opening (hollow)
  • Current closing < current opening (filled)

Line

A line chart connects the consecutive closing prices on a chart, showing how the price changes over time. It doesn't show the open, high, or low values.

The lines are colored depending on whether the current closing price is lower or higher than the previous.

  • Green: If the last close price in the frame is higher than the first close price in the frame.
  • Red: If the last close price in the frame is lower than the first close price in the frame.

Scatter

Scatter charts show the closing prices of assets as individual dots scattered across the chart. They’re similar to line charts, but without the connecting line between the dots. Scatter charts make it easier to see each closing price on its own. They can help traders spot correlations between prices or identify outliers in the data.

Trend

A trend chart is similar to a candle chart, but with different coloring.

The candle is colored based on whether the current closing price is higher or lower than the previous closing price.

  • Current closing > previous closing (bull border, green by default)
  • Current closing < previous closing (bear border, red by default)
  • Current closing = current opening (doji, white by default)

The candle is filled in based on whether the current closing price is higher or lower than the opening price of the interval period.

Bull border candle:

  • Closing price > opening price (bull, green by default)
  • Closing price < opening price (bear, red by default)

Bear border candle:

  • Closing price < opening price (bear, red by default)

Doji border candle:

  • Closing price < opening price (doji, white by default)

In all other instances, the candle body will be hollow.

Drawing tools

Drawing tools allow you to highlight and focus on certain data points. To use a drawing tool, select one of the drawing tool icons at the top of your chart widget. If the icons aren’t shown at the top of the chart, you may need to make the widget wider.

legend chart drawing tools

You can also use Draw syncing to create a drawing on a chart and automatically show the same drawing on all charts of the same symbol. Syncing is off by default, but you can enable it by selecting Sync on at the top of a chart. Once you turn on syncing, your drawing will show across all instances of that symbol. Legend will remember your setting and apply it to future drawings. You can select Sync off at any time, and the drawing will remain only on the chart where it was originally made.

Chart comparisons

With chart comparisons, you can compare other assets against your primary chart asset.

Chart comparisons on legend v2 gif

To add a comparison:

  1. Select the comparisons icon (chart line with a +) in the top right corner of your widget
  2. Search for a symbol and select it

Once you add the comparison, a line graph plotting the asset’s price will appear. You can select Settings (gear) to customise the color, width, and style of the plot. You can also choose whether or not you want to overlay the comparison or place it below your main chart.

In addition to the comparison plot, your chart will also show:

  • The comparison price in the chart legend (top-left corner of the widget)
  • Your y-axis scale change to linear (percent) if it was previously set to display price

Here’s how the comparison plot is calculated:

  • The comparison shows the same intervals as the main chart’s candles. The comparison will use the close value of the chart’s interval period.
  • The open and close points of the comparison plot are the same as the open and close prices on the primary asset’s plot.

Options charts

An options chart is similar to an equities chart that plots a contract instead of the underlying asset. To chart an options contract, first select your desired contract from a linked widget, such as an options chain or positions widget. Then select the swap icon next to the ticker symbol on the linked chart widget.

Legend options chart gif

Similar to an equities chart, you can trade, manage your positions, add indicators, and make drawings on the options chart. To change the price type from last to bid, mid, or ask you can right-click on the y-axis of the chart widget and select a different price type.

After the widgets are linked, the next time you select a contract from a linked widget, it will automatically load in that chart (as long as you have the chart set to options). You can deselect the swap icon anytime if you don’t want your chart to show options contracts.

Technical indicators

Technical indicators on Legend allow you to visualize price data and market trends using mathematical calculations, and can help you make informed decisions before placing your next trade.
