Hey Luc and everybody joining in this nice community,
Its nice to see people helping each other like this so everybody can profit. I experienced that navigating through the charts on Coinigy is sometimes clumsy. I figured out some quick tips that makes life easier. Maybe it helps some of you:
- While navigate on the time axis the chart keeps rezooming all the time and using the mouse wheel is exhausting.
- As a standard the scaling is set to "auto". Thats important because coins differ in value. To temporarily turn this off klick on "auto" in the bottom right.-
- Grab the scale on the right (value) or bottom (time) directly with your mouse to rescale in those directions (also turns off "auto" automatically)
- The stupid drawing tool keeps active after drawing a simple base.
- Hit ESC to return to the move-tool
- Its difficult for you to estimate the percentages on a drop or bounce?
- Press SHIFT and draw a span with your curser to get all the information. A third klick removes the box again.
- If you like this and want it permanently, there is a tool "Price Range" on the left (drop down on "Long Position).
- Using the dropdown menu to change the time interval is annoying?
- You can mark your favourite time base by klicking the little star in the dropdown menu. They appear now on the top bar. Same is for different chart types like Haikin Ashi.
- If you are a shortcut-lover like me, simply type the number of minutes you want one candle to represent and hit ENTER.
Thats it for now. I hope it helps somebody.

By the way, i'm was fully invested before the whole altcoin market seems to drop and don't know how to get out of this misery, but that's another thing...
oh nevermind, i just found out that function has been mover to right click options on the chart
Haha, had the very same problem yesterday =)
That was a great comment, thanks for the tips on Coinigy.. This morning I lost the orange button that gets rid of history and trades on the charts, do you know of another way to get rid of history so I can view a clean chart, without all my past trades pinned all over the place? Im submitting a ticket with coinigy, cuz i use that button alot
Awesome tips! :) Thank you! - And I'm also stuck, haha. But that's because I transferred ETH to the exchange. Should have transferred into USDT. But hey, maybe that's not even possible. :) Maybe I'll take a partial loss on ETH just to get going with all my new knowledge. :) Cheers!
thanks so much! especially for the estimating percentage tool. Was doing this manually, which i didn't mind but this makes it so much easier!
Thanks. Very Useful tricks
I'd been hoping Luc would maybe do a quick guide to Coinigy at some point, but this is really handy to start with. Thanks for taking the time!
Thanks for the tips! Quick question: do you happen to know if there are any other shortcuts, for instance to switch on the "price range" option, or to switch off "auto"?
Alt + R resets to "auto" (At least for Mac, should be anything with R for Win)
Scroll the Chart with Arrow keys (press alt to scroll fast, No action for up/down)
Alt + H for horizontal line (guess what the vertical line is)
Thats it. In my opinion they could discard the option to type in the symbol and set millions of nice shortcuts instead. They kept it as they adopted the chart engine from tradingview.com i think. There it's pretty useful.
Wow, even those can save a lot of time! I used to work with the Price Range tool, but all those mouse clicks... Now, I can do it as follows:
Alt-H for a horizontal line
Shift-Drag to define a percentage
Alt-H again
Thanks much for your reply!
where you said "hope you didnt get in over here or ouch"... yeah.. lost $5g lol
