Get your bearings
A few areas are worth knowing before you start.
- Symbol search (top-left) — where you pick the market to chart.
- Timeframe row — switch between 1m, 1h, 1D and everything in between.
- Drawing toolbar (left edge) — trend lines, Fibonacci, shapes and more.
- Top toolbar — the indicator picker and the Chart Settings gear.
- Watchlist — your shortlist of markets, one click to switch.
- Peper Trading Terminal

Open your first chart
Hit the symbol search at the top-left, type a ticker like BTCUSDT, and press Enter. The chart loads with a sensible default timeframe.
- Timeframes — use the timeframe row to switch between 1m, 1h and 1D.
- Navigate — scroll to zoom, drag to pan, double-click to reset the view.
- Price scale — right-click it to toggle logarithmic mode.

Make it your own
Small tweaks turn a generic chart into your workspace — and the terminal remembers them.
- Add an indicator — open the picker and start with a moving average or RSI.
- Draw a level — use the left toolbar to mark support, resistance or a trend line.
- Chart Settings — open the gear to change candle style, colours and which panels show.
- It saves itself — settings persist in your browser and drawings save per symbol, so they are waiting next time.

Practice with paper trading
Every account includes a virtual balance, so you can place buy and sell orders and watch them play out with zero risk. It is the fastest way to learn the order panel before real money is involved.

Where to next
When the basics feel natural, go deeper:
- Drawing tools and when to use them — every line, zone and measure, and when to reach for each.
- Indicators and overlays — the full library and how to combine a few well.
- Chart settings — candle style, scale, marks, panels and colours.
Spend ten minutes just moving around the chart before adding anything. Muscle memory first, indicators later.
