It combines the live chart, streamed pool trades, strategy and wallet tabs, Insights views, and manual trade controls in one screen. ## Chart The chart shows live price or market-cap movement for the profile's pool. Use the interval controls to switch candle size, toggle volume and Sumo trade markers, and switch between market-cap and price display. The drawing toolbar supports annotations such as trend lines, rays, paths, circles, and freehand marks. The header above the chart shows current market and treasury metrics, including market cap, token supply held by profile wallets, native treasury balance, and quote treasury balance. ### Drawing Tools Use the drawing toolbar to mark up the chart while monitoring live flow: | Icon | Action | Use | | :---------------------------------------------------------: | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ![Select drawings](/images/chart-tools/select.svg) | **Select** | Select, move, style, or delete existing drawings | | ![Trend line](/images/chart-tools/trend-line.svg) | **Trend Line** | Mark support, resistance, or trend between two points | | ![Ray](/images/chart-tools/ray.svg) | **Ray** | Project a line forward from an anchored point | | ![Extended line](/images/chart-tools/extended-line.svg) | **Extended Line** | Extend a trend line in both directions | | ![Horizontal ray](/images/chart-tools/horizontal-ray.svg) | **Horizontal Ray** | Mark a price or market-cap level from a point forward | | ![Horizontal line](/images/chart-tools/horizontal-line.svg) | **Horizontal Line** | Mark a persistent price or market-cap level | | ![Fib retracement](/images/chart-tools/fib-retracement.svg) | **Fib Retracement** | Draw Fibonacci retracement levels between a swing start and end point | | ![Vertical line](/images/chart-tools/vertical-line.svg) | **Vertical Line** | Mark a point in time across the full chart height | | ![Cross line](/images/chart-tools/cross-line.svg) | **Cross Line** | Mark a time and level crosshair at a single point | | ![Path](/images/chart-tools/path.svg) | **Path** | Sketch multi-point moves or scenarios | | ![Brush](/images/chart-tools/brush.svg) | **Brush** | Add freehand annotations | | ![Highlighter](/images/chart-tools/highlighter.svg) | **Highlighter** | Add broader freehand emphasis | | ![Circle](/images/chart-tools/circle.svg) | **Circle** | Highlight a specific chart area | Drawings are saved in your browser for the current profile, chart interval, and price/market-cap mode. Refreshing the page or returning to the same chart restores them. Changing the chart context, such as switching interval or price/market-cap mode, uses a separate drawing set so annotations do not carry onto a different chart view. The toolbar also supports: * **Undo / Redo** — Use the toolbar buttons, `Cmd/Ctrl+Z`, `Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z`, or `Cmd/Ctrl+Y` * **Escape** — Finish or deselect the active drawing tool * **Delete / Backspace** — Delete the selected drawing * **Right click or click outside the chart** — Finish or deselect the active drawing tool * **Clear drawings** — Remove all drawings from the current chart view ### Chart Footer Integrations The footer strip under the chart links out to holder-analysis views without leaving the workspace: * **Bubblemaps** — Opens the token's holder map. See [Bubblemaps Analysis](/reporting/bubblemaps-analysis). * **InsightX** — Opens the token in InsightX Atlas Live, an embedded holder and cluster analysis view. Available on Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Robinhood Chain, and Tron. * **Holders** — Opens Sumo's holder analysis for the token. * **TA** — Opens the technical analysis view. ### Project Notes Use **Project notes** to pin operating notes to the chart while you monitor price action. Notes can be tied to the current chart context, such as interval and price/market-cap mode, so a team can record why a level, event, or market condition mattered at the time. Project notes are useful for: * Marking support, resistance, or intervention levels * Recording launch, migration, or liquidity events * Leaving handoff notes for another trader or market maker * Keeping founder-facing commentary beside the trading view Team notes appear with the profile's other live-trading context, so operators can review market decisions without searching through chat history. ## Workspace Tabs The tabs below the chart keep the profile workflow in one place: * **Trading** — Live trade feed and manual trade controls * **Strategies** — Counter Trade, DCA, Limit Order, Grid, and other profile strategies * **Insights** — Trading pulse, strategy breakdown, and execution health * **Wallets** — Profile wallet balances and treasury actions * **Surveillance** — Wallet tracking and activity monitoring ## Trade Feed The trade feed streams recent and live swaps on your token's pool. New rows continue arriving while filters are active, so chart updates and side-panel metrics keep moving even when the table is focused on a smaller subset. | Column | Description | | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Date** | Relative timestamp (e.g. "11s ago", "3m ago") | | **Type** | Buy (green) or Sell (red) badge | | **USD** | Dollar value of the trade | | **Quote** | Amount of quote asset traded | | **Token** | Amount of your token traded | | **Maker** | Trader wallet.

Its **Convert** button switches the Custom Trade panel to **Convert** mode with the native-to-quote pair already selected. The notice clears on its own once any quote balance arrives, and the × hides it until the page is next loaded. [AutoFix](/getting-started/profile-settings#autofix) offers the same conversion as a per-wallet fix for buy wallets assigned to active strategies. ## Instant Trade See [Instant Trade](/strategies/instant-trade) for details on quick presets, custom trades, and treasury swaps. - [Insights](/reporting): View trade volume summaries and performance analytics. - [Trade Logs](/reporting/trade-logs): Browse the full history of executed trades.
