How to Use TradingView on MEXC
TradingView is a charting tool that MEXC has built into its Spot and Futures trading pages, so you can use its core charting features for free without leaving MEXC.
This guide covers chart styles, drawing tools, indicators, time zones, chart settings and resets on the website, and how the MEXC App handles the same tasks.
Key Takeaways:
- Select TradingView above the chart on a MEXC Spot or Futures trading page; the setup is the same on both.
- Hover over the chart-type icon to choose one of eight chart styles, from solid candles to Heikin Ashi.
- The toolbar on the left holds the drawing tools, including trend lines, horizontal lines, Fibonacci retracement and text.
- Click fx to add an indicator, the gear icon to change its settings, the eye icon to hide it and X to remove it.
- Changing the time zone changes only the displayed dates and times, and Reset chart view undoes your customizations.
How to Open TradingView Charts on MEXC
We use the spot trading page as the example here, and the futures trading page has the same setup.
Above the chart, select TradingView, next to Original and Depth, to switch from MEXC's original chart to the TradingView chart.
Setting Up the K-Line Chart
The K-line chart, also called a candlestick chart, uses solid candles by default, usually green for rises and red for falls, while in some markets, such as Japan and Korea, red usually marks a rise.
Hover over the chart-type icon above the chart to see the eight chart styles, then click one to switch.
| Chart style | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Solid Candles | Each candle shows the open, high, low and close for one period, filled with color |
| Hollow Candles (Up) | Candles where rising periods are drawn hollow, so up and down periods stand apart |
| Line | A single line joining each period's closing price |
| Bar | Open, high, low and close drawn as a vertical bar with small ticks for the open and close |
| Baseline | A price line shaded in two colors, above and below a chosen baseline level |
| Heikin Ashi | Candles built from averaged prices, which smooth out short-term noise |
| Area | A line chart with the area under the line filled in |
| Column | One column per period, colored by whether the price rose or fell |
Click the chart settings icon above the chart to open Chart settings, where the first tab, marked with a candle icon, changes candle body and border colors, price line colors and the time zone.
Common Drawing Tools
The drawing tools sit in the toolbar on the left side of the chart: hover over an icon to see its name, click it, then draw on the chart.
| Tool | Where to find it | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Trend Line | Second icon in the left toolbar | A straight line between two points that marks a trend's direction |
| Horizontal Line | In the same group as Trend Line | A single price level drawn across the whole chart |
| Fibonacci Retracement | In the Fibonacci tools group | Retracement levels plotted between a high and a low |
| Text | The T icon | A note written directly on the chart |
| Measure | The ruler icon near the bottom | The price change and number of bars between two points |
| Zoom In | The magnifier icon at the bottom | A closer view of one part of the chart |
MEXC's TradingView guide in the Help Center names trend lines, horizontal lines and Fibonacci retracement as the common drawing tools.
How the Fibonacci levels are calculated is explained in MEXC's Fibonacci retracement guide.
To clear everything you have drawn, right-click the chart and choose Remove drawings.
Using Technical Indicators
Click the fx (technical indicators) button above the chart, then scroll through or search the Indicators list and click an indicator to add it.
To change an indicator, click it on the chart, then click the gear icon above it to open its settings, where the Inputs, Style and Visibility tabs hold its parameters, colors and display options, and click Ok to save.
Click the eye icon to hide or show an indicator, or click X to remove it, and to remove every indicator at once, right-click the chart and choose Remove indicators.
For what common indicators measure, start with MEXC's Bollinger Bands guide.
The RSI guide covers one of the most widely used momentum indicators.
Time Zone Settings
Click the time shown below the chart, next to its UTC offset, and pick a time zone from the list, such as UTC, Exchange or a city.
Changing the time zone changes only the displayed dates and times, and the chart's data and statistics stay the same.
Chart Settings
Chart settings, opened from the chart settings icon above the chart, has four tabs, listed from top to bottom: Candles, Symbol, Labels and Chart Basic Styles.
- Candles: candle colors, price line colors, precision and time zone.
- Symbol: the text at the top of the chart, including whether to show OHLC values, bar change values and volume.
- Labels: labels added to the chart, such as the symbol name, high and low prices, and a countdown to bar close.
- Chart Basic Styles: the chart's background color, grid line color and other display settings.
How to Reset the Chart
To remove your customizations, right-click the chart and select Reset chart view.
The same menu also has Remove drawings and Remove indicators, which clear only those items.
TradingView on the MEXC Website vs the MEXC App
The MEXC website lets you switch between the Original chart and TradingView, while the MEXC App gathers its chart controls under one More button because of the smaller screen.
| Task | MEXC website (TradingView) | MEXC App |
|---|---|---|
| Chart style and colors | Chart-type icon and chart settings icon above the chart | More, at the top right of the chart, then the display settings, such as K-line Settings and Theme Settings |
| Indicators | The fx button above the chart | The indicator row below the chart: MA, EMA, BOLL and SAR first, then more indicators such as VOL and MACD when you scroll sideways |
| Drawing | The toolbar on the left of the chart | More, then Drawing, or the pencil icon in full-screen mode |
Both versions are covered step by step in our guide to customizing K-line colors and indicators.
