Help & Guides

Everything the ODX Charts terminal offers, tool by tool — what it is, where to find it, and how to get the most out of it. Can't find an answer? The support channels at the bottom reach real people.

Getting started

1 · Create your account

Sign up with your email, name, mobile number, and a password, then enter the 6-digit code we email you. That's the whole flow — no paperwork.

2 · Connect your broker

The terminal streams market data through a connection with one supported broker: Zerodha, Dhan, Kotak Neo, Angel One, Fyers, or 5Paisa. You'll connect it right after signup using API credentials issued by your broker (from their developer/API console). The credentials are stored encrypted, so reconnecting later is one click — and the link is read-only market data: ODX never places orders and never sees your broker password.

3 · Pick a plan or request a trial

ODX Charts is a paid terminal with monthly and quarterly plans. A short trial of the full product is available on request — the ODX team reviews each request and you get an email the moment it's activated. See Account & billing below.

The workspace

The workspace is one screen: chart in the centre, ODX/OI profile panel and option chain beside it, toolbar on top. A few things worth knowing early:

Multi-chart layouts. Choose from a range of layouts — one to eight panes, in columns, rows, and grids. Each pane has its own symbol, timeframe, and chart type; click a pane to make it the active one your toolbar controls.
Right-click menu. Every chart type has the same right-click context menu for quick actions at the cursor.
Focus modes. Hide the side panels for a full-width chart, or go fullscreen to drop the browser chrome entirely.
Ticker tape. An optional strip of live symbols rides the top bar — add or remove symbols, or switch the tape off.
Everything is saved. Layouts, drawings, indicator settings, and preferences persist — the terminal reopens the way you left it. The address bar also carries symbol/timeframe/chart-type, so a workspace view can be shared as a URL.

Chart types

Four chart engines, switchable from the toolbar's chart-type selector. Drawings and workspaces carry across all of them.

Candlestick

The default view, rendered by our proprietary in-house engine. All indicators, drawings, volume profiles, and ODX studies render here. Pan by dragging, zoom with the wheel, and use the price/time axes to scale.

Footprint (Orderflow)

Splits every bar into price levels and shows bid × ask traded volume in each cell, with heat colouring by intensity. Use it to spot aggressive buying or selling at specific prices, absorption, and imbalances. The settings drawer controls tick grouping, imbalance ratios, and the stacked-imbalance zones overlay; per-bar statistics (volume, delta) sit with the chart.

TPO Chart

Builds the classic letter-based auction profile per session: value area, point of control, initial balance, single prints, and poor highs/lows. Use the TPO settings panel to adjust the build timeframe, IB duration, and colouring. Read it to understand where the market accepted value — and which levels it rejected quickly.

DOM Heatmap

Draws the order book over time: resting bid/ask depth at each price level as a heat band, with traded price moving through it. Watch liquidity build, pull, and get consumed — context you can't get from candles alone.

ODX studies (proprietary)

The studies that make ODX ODX — built on option premium flow and open interest for NSE derivatives. The profile studies live in the side panel; the rest are added like indicators.

ODX Strike Profile. Call and put premium flow per strike, drawn beside the chart and locked to its price scale. Strikes with concentrated flow highlight automatically; the ATM row is marked.
OI Profile. Open interest per strike in the same side-by-side format. Compare with the ODX profile to separate fresh positioning from unwinding.
Custom profile columns. The panel's Custom mode puts two profiles side by side — ODX, OI, or cluster — so you choose the pairing.
Total Buy/Sell Aggregator. Session-wide buying vs selling premium as mirrored columns over time, with configurable highlight thresholds.
Cumulative Delta + OI. Delta candles in their own pane with an open-interest band below — aggression and positioning in one read. Supports daily or continuous reset, lots or raw quantity.
Delta Divergence. Marks bars where price and delta disagree — trapped-trader wicks flagged with the size of the trap.
Stacked Imbalance Zones. Converts consecutive same-side footprint imbalances into support/resistance zones on the price pane, with tick size, ratio, and stack depth under your control.

Volume Profile

A full profile engine with three flavours, managed from the chart's profile controls:

Step profiles — one profile per period (hour, day, week, month) drawn along the chart.
Edge profiles — a single profile anchored to the chart edge over a lookback you choose: today, yesterday, this week, rolling windows, the visible range, or the full history.
Custom-range profiles — drag over any stretch of bars to profile exactly that range.

Rows can encode ten metrics — volume, buy/sell volume, delta, delta %, trades, buy/sell trades, average trade size, max single trade — with four fill styles including bid/ask split and heat. POC and value-area lines can extend as rays until price trades back into them, and sessions respect NSE hours.

Indicators

100+ indicators across Trend, Momentum, Volume, Volatility, and Price Action — plus the ODX category for the proprietary studies. Open the indicator picker from the toolbar and search by name or alias.

Every instance is configurable: periods, source (open/high/low/close and combinations), displacement, colours per series, and line widths.
Per-series visibility toggles let you hide, say, a band's midline while keeping the envelope.
Colour defaults can be changed globally, and your recently used colours follow you across pickers.
Indicator settings persist with the workspace — set once, keep forever.

Drawing tools

The drawing toolbar covers the full range: trend line, ray, extended line, horizontal line/ray, vertical line, cross line, rectangle, ellipse, parallel channel, arrow, fib retracement, fib extension, freehand pen, text, callout, price label, long/short position, price range, and date range — plus an eraser.

Drawings work on all four chart types and are shared across them — a level drawn on the candlestick chart is there on the footprint too.
Select any drawing to move it, resize by its anchors, restyle stroke/fill (with opacity), or delete it.
Drawings are saved automatically with your workspace.

Option chain

A live option chain panel sits alongside the chart for the active symbol — strikes with premiums and open interest, scrollable in both directions, so you can glance from a level on the chart to the chain without switching screens.

Symbols & timeframes

Coverage. NSE F&O — NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, and index + stock derivatives. New contracts appear as they list.
Search. Find any instrument from the symbol search in the toolbar; lot size and tick size come along automatically.
Timeframes. 1m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 1D, and 1W are built in, and you can type custom intervals like 3m, 4H, or 2D. Pin the ones you use to the toolbar strip.
India-first conventions. IST sessions, Lakh/Crore number formatting, weekly expiries, and broker-matching lot sizes throughout.

Account & billing

Plans. Premium is one tier with everything included, billed monthly or quarterly in INR (GST extra). Payments run through Razorpay — we never see your card or UPI details.
Trials. Requested from the plans page (or the landing page's “Request trial”), reviewed by the ODX team, activated with an email notification.
Cancelling. Cancel anytime from your account page; access continues to the end of the paid period. Payments are non-refundable — see the Terms & Conditions.
Broker changes. You can disconnect or reconnect your broker from the connect-broker page whenever you need.
