In simple English
This tool helps you build financial charts on websites and phone apps. It draws candlestick charts, price lines, and trading indicators that look like professional desktop trading software. You can run custom formulas that traders use to spot market patterns and trends. It costs nothing to download and use the open source code, but you must supply your own market data feed. Setting it up takes some programming skill in JavaScript or web frameworks.
