Optional **official Jake Bernstein indicators** and a **Backwardation (Futures Premium)** indicator **recommended by Larry Williams** are available on the platform catalog.

Research and simulation (backtest, optimization, walk-forward) are not identical to live trading; distinguish fills, margin, and broker behavior in production from testing workflows.

## Charting platform — capabilities

### Strategy research

- **Backtest:** built-in, custom (JavaScript / WASM), and private (server-side) strategies. Equity, futures, and multi-leg options entries/exits. Profit factor, win rate, drawdown, expectancy, and per-trade option markers on the chart. Supports synthetic option pricing or real option chains.
- **Optimization:** grid-search across strategy inputs, symbols, and timeframes. Built-in fitness presets (return, sharpe, expectancy, drawdown-adjusted) plus custom fitness scripts in JavaScript that receive aggregated stats and the merged trade list.
- **Walk-forward:** rolling in-sample optimization + out-of-sample validation, configurable by IS bars, OOS bars, step bars, and bars-to-load. Per-fold result table with apply-to-chart actions; supports cancel mid-run.
- **Self-optimization:** chart-toolbar and watchlist self-opt run a bounded grid search on recent history per symbol, persist the best params, and re-trigger on configurable on-trade policies.

### Charting

- Canvas-based rendering (no external chart library). Index-based time scale; per-pane right-side price scale; Y-axis adapts to visible candles, indicator series, and option-marker strikes.
- Multi-chart layouts: single pane, two-pane row with resizer, or N-pane grid. Bind backtest, optimization, walk-forward, options chain, and options builder to specific panes via colored slots.
- Vertical panes (price, volume, indicator panes, strategy panes) with resizable height ratios.
- Drawing tools: trendline, horizontal line, vertical line, rectangle, circle, triangle, text.
- Bar replay with date/index targeting and 500 ms / 1 s / 3 s / 5 s autoplay.
- Personalization: theme, candle/wick colors, crosshair, last-price line, watermark, empty bars right, zoom/scroll sensitivity, backtest colors.
- Workspaces: save/restore named workspace state.

### Options

- Options chain: calls / strike / puts grid for any expiration; toggle Greeks / IV / last / volume; optional live streaming.
- Options builder: templates for long calls, vertical spreads, iron condors, butterflies, calendars, and a Custom builder for arbitrary multi-leg setups; strikes step through the live chain.
- Interactive P/L canvas; lock the net debit/credit while editing legs; switch mark-to-model time without remounting.
- Breakeven, leg-strike, and call/put markers projected onto a linked chart pane; Y-axis extended so markers stay visible.

### Custom code

- JavaScript indicators, strategies, and optimization fitness scripts in pure JavaScript — no proprietary language to learn. Sublime-style in-chart code editor with template scripts and syntax highlighting; full TA helper library (`sma`, `ema`, `rsi`, `macd`, `atr`, `psar`, Williams `%R` and A/D, true range), drawing primitives (`draw.label`, `draw.line`).
- Optional WebAssembly (WASM/WAT) indicators and strategies for performance-critical compute; WAT compiled via WABT; cached instances.
- Strategy API: buy/sell/short/cover, profit targets, stop loss, trailing stop. Strategy compute can return plots and levels — they render like indicators in overlay or a dedicated pane.
- View built-in source for any built-in indicator or strategy.
- Private indicators: author your own indicator and share it with other traders while keeping the source code private. Execution stays server-side and is fetched with each viewer's TickSurfers session, so the implementation is never shipped to the client.

### Watchlist & journal

- Multiple named watchlists with per-row symbol and timeframe; custom number/string/formula columns; price alerts (above/below/cross). Strategy scan: per-row backtest metrics, optional self-optimization, stored best params per symbol. Tracks after-hours / pre-market price.
- Trade journal with multiple lists; symbols (equity / futures / multi-leg options / other); entry/exit dates and prices, stop loss, multiple profit targets, side (long/short), notes. Auto-computed: total trades, win rate, average win/loss ratio, biggest winner/loser, consecutive winners/losers.

### Data

- Live ticks, deep history, and extended-hours pricing across equities, futures, options, FX, and crypto — the active feed is managed by TickSurfers.
- Server-only egress: market data is relayed through the TickSurfers backend; the chart client does not talk directly to data vendors.
- Live streaming relayed through the backend WS; pre-market / after-hours trade events are tracked for the orange dotted last-price line on daily+ contexts.

- [Williams Acc/Dist](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/will_ad): Larry Williams’ accumulation and distribution formula with a simple moving average of WillAD, used by Jake Bernstein with a 57 period simple moving average. Use in combination with Jake’s trading systems to confirm trend direction.

- [ADD Ratio](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/add): Get raw ADD readings, ADD Ratio and ADD Breadth all in one indicator. This indicator is designed for day traders but can be used by anyone to gauge market internals.
- [Backwardation (Premium)](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/backwardation): Calculate backwardation (or contract premium) readings for Futures and Commodities. When the backwardation reading crosses above zero it means the market is setup for a bullish move. Does not work in reverse. This reading works only for bullish readings.
- [COT Report](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/cot): Follow the “big money” or “smart money” traders with this Commitment of Traders (COT) Report indicator. This indicator includes disaggregated data in addition to the legacy data for both TradingView and TradeStation.

It provides 3 (adjustable) ATR bands of the Keltner Channel without cluttering the chart. In addition, it uses the middle band to provide you with various options for color-coded visual indicators.
- [Offense / Defense Line (OD Line)](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/od_line): A market breadth indicator that measures offensive ETF sectors versus defensive sectors. When the OD line increases it can be an indicator of market uncertainty. As it decreases it indicates a bullish market.

- [RVOL (Relative Volume)](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/rvol): Relative Volume or RVOL is a measurement of current volume to average volume at time. It’s typically miscalculated by comparing current volume against average volume (which is more accurately described as Volume Z-Score, also available by TickSurfers).
- [Seasonality](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/seasonality): This professionally-built seasonality indicator creates a calculation that plots one year into the future so you can spot upcoming seasonality trends in time. Tooltips are added to give you insights into the win rate, history and direction of seasonality.

- [Volatility Cycle](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/volatility_cycle): The volatility cycle indicator measures the strength of a trend, not the direction. Useful in spotting compression or expansion in prices.
- [VOLD Ratio](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/vold): View raw VOLD readings or VOLD ratio. This market internal goes hand-in-hand with ADD and TICK indexes.
- [Volume Z-Score](https://ticksurfers.com/indicators/volume_z-score): Volume Z-Score (not to be confused with RVOL) compares current volume against average volume.
