Widgets in Robinhood Legend
Robinhood Legend features customizable widgets which are the building blocks of your layout. You can use them to analyze, trade, track, and manage your assets.
Once you add a widget, you can resize, reposition, and customize 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 analyze trends with a wide selection of technical indicators and drawing tools.
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, etc. You can choose from preset intervals or create custom intervals.
To choose an interval, select the arrows next to Interval at the bottom of the chart widget. You can select and customize any of the following intervals:
- Tick
- Range
- Seconds
- Minute
- Hour
- Day
- Week
- Month
- Year
The x-axis is the horizontal scale on your chart that helps you see 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 and ETFs on the x-axis of a chart, click the 3 vertical dots at the top-right corner of your chart widget. Then click Settings > Data > Show extended hours.
The y-axis shows how the price of an asset moves up and down over time, and can be customized 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 display the value as any of the following:
- Linear (price): prices are positioned equally far away from one another
- Linear (percent):displays 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, click the chart types icon in the top-right corner of the chart widget and select from the following options on the list:
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.
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: the bar is "up-colored" (green by default)
- Current closing < previous closing: the bar is "down-colored" (red by default)
A line chart connects the consecutive closing prices on a chart, showing how the price changes over time. It doesn't display the open, high, or low values.
The lines are colored depending on whether the current closing price is lower or higher than the previous.
- If the last close price in the frame is higher than the first close price in the frame, the line is green
- If the last close price in the frame is lower than the first close price in the frame, the line is red
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.
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: bull (green by default)
- Closing price < opening price: bear (red by default)
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: bull (green by default)
- Closing price < opening price: bear (red by default)
Scatter charts display 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.
Hollow candles display 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
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
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 you don't see the icons at the top of the chart, you may need to make the widget wider.
Lines
You can draw a trend line to connect two points on the chart that represent support and resistance. If prices stay above a positively sloped trend line, the trend is considered bullish. If the trend line has a negative slope, the trend is considered bearish.
A trend channel draws an ascending or descending area on the chart using two lines. The top and bottom of these channels indicate potential areas of support or resistance. Trend channels sloping down are considered bearish, while those sloping up are considered bullish.
A ray draws an extended line in any direction from a single point. A ray helps you mark trends or project potential price movements beyond the immediate chart area.
An extended line draws a line that extends indefinitely in both directions on the chart. You can use it to create your own trend line or trend channel. This line stays visible, extending at the same angle, even if you move far into the chart's historical past or future.
An info line connects two points and displays extra information like the number of bars it spans, the time covered, the distance in pixels, and more. It's useful for getting detailed insights on specific segments of your chart.
A horizontal line marks a specific value on the price scale. It's generally used to show specific price targets and identify support and resistance levels.
A horizontal ray draws a horizontal line that extends indefinitely to the right from its starting point. It can be used to mark support and resistance levels on your chart.
A vertical line can be used to mark a point in time in the past, present, or future.
Shapes
You can draw a rectangle over a specific area in a chart to draw attention to it.
You can draw an oval over a specific area in a chart to draw attention to it.
Advanced
Fibonacci retracements set horizontal price lines based on the Fibonacci sequence. Each line level is associated with a Fibonacci ratio or percentage and shows how much of a previous move the price has “retraced.” A retracement is a temporary reversal in an asset’s trending price direction, and it typically happens between support and resistance levels. This is why traders use Fibonacci retracement levels to help identify an asset’s current support and resistance levels.
Like Fibonacci retracements, Fibonacci extensions set price lines based on the Fibonacci sequence. But while Fibonacci retracements track movement with an asset’s current trading range, Fibonacci extensions focus on future price movement. With Fibonacci extensions, you can select three recent prices: a notable high, a notable low, and the end of the retracement against a recent price movement. From there, you may be able to identify new support and resistance levels.
Fibonacci time extensions are drawn using three key points on the chart. These points represent significant highs or lows in the market. The tool then extends time lines into the future based on the Fibonacci sequence. They’re similar to Fibonacci extensions, but also include vertical lines. These timelines can be used to estimate when the market might reach certain price levels.
The date and price range label measures both the date/time and price intervals on a chart at the same time. It helps visualize how price changes over specific time periods.
The price range label measures how much an asset’s price has moved up or down over a certain period. To see the range, draw a box on the chart between two points.
The date range label measures the time interval between two points on a chart. It helps traders see how long it took for price changes to happen over a specific period.
Annotations
Callouts allow you to write notes, which can be linked to specific elements on your chart.
Price labels mark specific price values on your chart, which help you keep track of important price points.
Similar to callouts, the text tool lets you type annotations directly onto a point in the chart, making it easy to highlight information or add notes.
The path tool allows you to trace the direction of multiple data points using an arrow line. You can click on the chart to add a new data point and add as many points as you need.
An arrow connects two points with a line that has an arrow at the end, showing direction. It's similar to the trend line but emphasizes the trend's direction.
The pencil tool lets you draw freely on your chart. It can be used for making quick notes, or marking important events.
The highlighter allows you to mark important elements, or draw freely on your chart for easy reference.
