There are four main ones are illustrated and displayed and illustrated below.

These are listed below:

All these Four will be covered & discussed in different tutorials, However, for now let us look at How Do I Customize The Bars?

How to Customize

To make changes, traders can move the tool bar to a different spot, maybe a little to the left or to the right, or they can add or remove buttons from it.

Moving a Tool Bar on Platform

To move, follow the method below:

Step 1: Click and Hold Down Mouse Button at the position Shown below.

Step 2: While holding down on the mouse button, drag the mouse to position 2 like illustrated below & release the mouse button, this will move the tool bar to the new position (position 2.)

After clicking customize like illustrated above, following pop up appears:

Step 1: Pick a tool from the left side. Click the insert button in the middle, as shown.

Customizing Toolbars: If a tool sits off the list, pick this choice to put it on there. Take the Fibo Expansion example from before - it wasn't listed, but now it is. Lost on an item's spot or toolbar? Right-click the customize key on the left edge of any four toolbars. See every name in the addable list. Those show up in the left pane of the customize box.

You have the ability to get rid of some tools you don't use to save space: for example, if you only trade using 15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour charts, you can hide the other timeframes on the Periodicity bar and only keep these three.
