Two chart engines, one philosophy
Dequan ships two charting engines and uses whichever fits the situation:TradingView Advanced Charts
The full TradingView experience — drawing tools, indicators, multiple timeframes from 1-second to daily, alerts, studies. Used when you want to do real technical analysis.
Cinematic 1-second candles
A high-performance custom engine for second-by-second tape during active trading. Built to render parabolic moves and 100× wicks without missing a frame.
What’s overlaid on every chart
Live trade ticks
Every trade hits the chart in real time. No 5-second polling, no delayed candle close. The candle you’re watching is the candle that’s happening now.
Velocity overlay (gold line)
Beneath the candles runs a thin gold line — live, smoothed market-cap velocity. When the gold line is rising, momentum is increasing. When it flattens or turns, the move is mature. This is one of Dequan’s signature signals.
TQS color coding
The candles themselves are coloured by Token Quality Score. HOT tokens render gold; WARM render cinematic teal/red; COOL render ice-blue. The color shifts live as the underlying score updates.
Buy/sell markers
Your own trades are marked on the chart at the precise candle they confirmed. You can see exactly where you entered and exited every position, overlaid on the price action that followed.
Adaptive scaling
The chart auto-scales to handle parabolic moves and deep drawdowns without freezing. Token launches that 100× in minutes still render cleanly.
Multi-timeframe
Switch between 1-second, 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour, and daily candles at any time. The data layer keeps a deep enough history that switching timeframes is instant — no reload, no refetch.Inline sparklines on the feed
Both the Pump Zone and the Sniper List embed a tiny sparkline of recent candles directly on the token glyph or row. You can scan a hundred tokens and read the trend on each without opening a single chart. The sparklines aren’t toy renders — they’re the same candle data, just compressed into a few pixels of meaningful shape.Popout charts
Any chart can be popped out into a floating window that stays onscreen as you move around the app. The popout is a full surface: live ticks, Quick Snipe, current PnL, milestone flags, one-tap exits. This means you can keep the chart of a token you’re holding visible at all times while you continue scanning the field for the next opportunity. Most other tools force you to choose: study one token or scan the market. Dequan does both.Continue → Cinematic candles
