Platform Overview

The main app lives at /app. This page is where everything happens — charting, strategy building, backtesting, and trading.

Layout

BrighterTrading platform overview The main trading platform — chart in the centre, controls above, feature panels on the right

The interface is split into three areas:

Across the top you'll find:

  • App name — Click to return to the welcome page
  • Analyze button — Opens the analysis tools
  • Help button — Opens the help chat panel for AI-assisted support, documentation, and support tickets
  • User controls — Sign in/out and your user avatar

Chart area

The centre of the screen is a live candlestick chart powered by TradingView's lightweight charts library. Price data streams in real-time via WebSocket, so candles update as trades happen on the exchange.

Above the chart are the chart controls:

  • Trading Pair — A searchable dropdown to pick any pair available on the selected exchange (e.g. BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, STORJ/USDT)
  • Timeframe — Choose from 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 1d, 1w, or 1M
  • Exchange — Switch between 15+ supported exchanges including Binance, KuCoin, Coinbase, Bybit, OKX, and more
  • Indicators — Overlay button to toggle indicator visibility on the chart

The sidebar contains collapsible panels for every feature on the platform. Click a panel header to expand or collapse it:
