Using the Asher Labs terminal.

A practical guide to the chart, the 75 built-in indicators, drawings, the alert system, and non-custodial auto-execution. New here? Open the live demo and follow along.

Quick start

The terminal runs on live market data — no account needed to explore.

  • Open the Live demo (or your Dashboard). The chart loads the last symbol and timeframe you used.
  • Switch symbol: just start typing — the symbol search opens with your letters. Or click the symbol name.
  • Change timeframe: use the 1m / 5m / 15m / 1h / 4h / 1D buttons (or + for more).
  • Add a study: click ƒ + Indicators in the top-left of the chart and pick from 75 indicators.
  • Set an alert: click the 🔔 bell on the chart, then + Create alert.
  • Backtest a strategy: head to Strategy to write one in SperaScript, or Builder to configure one.

The chart

A full charting surface built on real tick data with deep history.

Timeframes & chart types

  • Timeframes from 1 minute to 1 week, including derived frames (2m, 10m, 45m, 3h, 6h, 2d) aggregated from base data.
  • Chart types via the Candles menu: candles, hollow, Heikin-Ashi, line, area, baseline, bars, Renko, Point & Figure.

Navigating

  • Zoom: scroll-wheel over the chart, or drag the time axis. You can zoom out to months of history.
  • Pan: click-drag the chart. Scrolling left auto-loads older candles.
  • Back to now: when you scroll away from the latest bar, a » button appears at the bottom-right — click it to snap to the live edge.
  • Fit: the button auto-fits price and time.
  • Price scale: the gear by the axis toggles Regular / Logarithmic / Percent / Invert.
  • Fullscreen: the expand button opens a full-width chart with a right-side panel (watchlist, trade ticket, alerts). The accent tab on the panel edge collapses/expands it.

Finding symbols

Two fast ways to change what you're looking at.

  • Type-to-search: with the chart focused, just start typing a ticker (e.g. eth). The search opens pre-filled and filters as you type. Enter picks the top match, Esc closes.
  • Watchlist: the left panel lists your markets with live price and change. Click a row to switch; star a coin to favorite it.

Indicators

75 indicators — 15 core studies plus 60 more, all matching TradingView's look and math.

Adding & removing

  • Click ƒ + Indicators and choose a study. Active studies show as chips in the legend.
  • Hover a legend chip for the eye (hide), (settings), and × (remove) controls.
  • Overlays (moving averages, bands, SuperTrend, Ichimoku, VWAP…) draw on the price pane and stack freely.
  • Oscillators (RSI, MACD, Stochastic, and 40+ more) draw in the sub-pane below; one shows at a time.

What's included

Moving averages (SMA, EMA, WMA, HMA, VWMA, DEMA, TEMA, ALMA, LSMA, McGinley, Ribbon, Guppy), bands & channels (Bollinger, Keltner, Donchian, Envelope), trend (SuperTrend, Ichimoku, Parabolic SAR, ADX/DMI, Vortex, Aroon), momentum (RSI, MACD, Stochastic, Stoch RSI, CCI, Williams %R, Momentum, ROC, TSI, Ultimate, Fisher, Connors RSI, KST, Coppock, CMO, RVGI, SMI…), volume (OBV, Accum/Dist, PVT, MFI, CMF, Chaikin Osc, Klinger, Force Index, EOM…), and volatility (ATR, Std Dev, Historical Volatility, Choppiness, Mass Index, Ulcer, BB Width/%B…).

Colors & style

Every indicator is fully configurable — click its gear (in the legend or the dropdown).

  • Inputs tab: periods and sources (e.g. RSI length, MACD fast/slow/signal, Bollinger length & stdev, source close/hl2/hlc3…).
  • Style tab: per-line visibility, color, and width; a Fill control for banded overlays; and a Background color for the overbought/oversold zone on bounded oscillators.
  • Changes apply live and are saved to your browser, so your setup persists.
Tip: the shaded band on RSI/Stochastic (and the fill between Bollinger bands, or the Ichimoku cloud) is a real background zone — recolor it under Style → Background / Fill.

Drawings

The vertical toolbar on the left of the chart holds the drawing tools.

  • Trend lines, rays, horizontal & vertical lines, crosslines, rectangles, text, brush, measure, and more.
  • Select a drawing to move, restyle, lock, hide, or delete it. The trash tool clears all.
  • Any horizontal line can become an alert — see below.

Alerts

Get notified — or fire a webhook — when the market does something. Click the 🔔 bell, then + Create alert.

Trigger on

  • Price value: a number you type.
  • A drawn line: pick any horizontal line/ray you've drawn — the alert uses its price and follows it if you move the line.

Conditions

  • Crossing, Crossing Up, Crossing Down — price crosses the level.
  • Touching — price reaches the level.
  • Bar Close Above / Below — evaluated only when a bar closes beyond the level (fewer false signals).
  • Greater Than / Less Than — a simple threshold.

Notifications

  • Browser popup, Sound, Webhook (POSTs your message to any URL), and Email.
  • Message templating — insert placeholders that fill in at fire time: {{ticker}} {{close}} {{time}} {{interval}} {{strategy.order.action}} and more.
  • Expiration: open-ended, end of day, 1 week, or 1 month.
The webhook message is exactly how signals reach execution: point it at your automation and the alert becomes a trade instruction. Fired alerts are kept under the Log tab.

Strategies & backtesting

Turn an idea into a proven, testable strategy.

  • SperaScript — a Pine-inspired language for indicators and strategies. Write it on the Strategy page and backtest on live data.
  • Builder — configure a strategy from presets and risk settings without code, then backtest.
  • Backtests run on real tick data and report trades, P&L, and Asher Labs's built-in money-management results.

Auto-execution (non-custodial)

When you're ready to go live, Asher Labs executes for you — without ever holding your funds.

  • You approve once with a session key that can trade but never withdraw. Your keys and funds stay with you.
  • Signals (from a strategy or an alert webhook) are executed with money management applied automatically.
  • See Security for how the non-custodial signing works.

Keyboard shortcuts

  • type a ticker — open symbol search seeded with your letters
  • Enter — in search, pick the top match  ·  Esc — close any popup
  • Scroll wheel — zoom  ·  click-drag — pan

Market data

Charts are powered by live data with deep, cached history.

  • Recent, canonical prices come from Hyperliquid; deep history is backfilled from Binance when you scroll years back.
  • Closed candles are cached, so history loads once and is instant afterward — for you and everyone else.
  • Live prices stream directly to your browser, so open charts don't hammer our servers.
