The HuntingFlow main chart supports line, candlestick and Heikin-Ashi drawing modes with switchable timeframes. Mode and timeframe only change how price is drawn, and do not affect the GEX overlay layers. The entry is in the chart-mode bar embedded in the indicator dock.
Three modes
Line
Draws only the closing-price line — the cleanest option, ideal when focusing on GEX structure and key levels without candle bodies in the way.
Candlestick
Keeps the true open / high / low / close — closest to actual trades, ideal for execution scenarios that need precise entry/exit prices.
Heikin-Ashi
Smooths price to filter noise and highlight trend continuity — ideal for judging whether a trend day continues; but because of smoothing, its candle prices are not equal to actual trade prices.
Timeframes
The 30-second micro timeframe is available for ES / NQ only, for high-frequency intraday futures observation; other tickers offer 1-minute to 1-hour. Shorter timeframes hug current micro-structure; longer ones reveal regime and larger-degree key levels.
How to choose
Intraday futures: ES/NQ on 30s–1m + Heikin-Ashi for trend continuity, switch to candlesticks to pin a precise entry. Watching levels / resting orders: line is the least distracting, focusing on price relative to levels. Judging a trend day: consecutive same-color Heikin-Ashi = strong trend, an opposite-color small body = momentum fading.

Frequently asked questions
What chart modes does HuntingFlow support?
Line, candlestick and Heikin-Ashi drawing modes, switchable any time without affecting the GEX overlay layers.
Why is the 30-second timeframe only available for ES/NQ?
The 30-second micro timeframe is for high-frequency intraday futures observation and is available for ES/NQ only; other tickers offer 1-minute to 1-hour.
How is Heikin-Ashi different from candlesticks?
Heikin-Ashi smooths price to filter noise and show trend continuity more clearly; candlesticks keep the true open/high/low/close and hug actual trades.
Indicator Dock
The Indicator Dock is the vertical icon bar on the left of the HuntingFlow chart that centrally controls Γ/DEX display, Greek overlay curves, bottom sub-panes, distribution type and the visibility of 21 key levels — the operational hub of the main chart.
