In the widgets panel, click on the "Chart" element:
Step 4: Select an Instrument to Analyse
In the top-left corner of your new chart, you'll see an instrument selector (showing a symbol like "AAPL" or "Select Instrument"). Click it to choose which instrument you want to analyse and type the instrument name or symbol to search.
Step 5: Click the "Add Indicator" Button
Once your selected symbol's chart loads, click on "Add Indicators":
Step 6: Search for or Browse Indicators

How to Add Multiple Indicators
To add more than one indicator to the same chart:
Repeat Steps 5-7 for each additional indicator
Click "Add Indicator" again for each new indicator you want
Select a different indicator from the list
Each new indicator stacks on the chart
You can add as many as you need
Best practices: Start with 2-3 indicators
Add more only if they actually improve your analysis.
Too many indicators (10+) can make the chart confusing and could possibly cause performance issues.
