A candle tells you where price went. CandleForge shows you who pushed it there, at which price, and how big they were.

Inside one candle1 / 4
  1. Every chart shows you this

    Open, high, low, close. Four numbers, and none of them tells you who was trading.

  2. CandleForge opens it

    Every price inside the bar, with how much was sold and how much was bought there.

  3. See where one side won

    Imbalances light up where buyers or sellers outgunned the other side. The gold box is absorption: size that got eaten without price moving.

  4. And who was big

    Whale orders, the delta of the bar and the point of control. That is order flow, on every candle.

Heavy selling soaked up at a fresh low (red), heavy buying at a fresh high (green), confirmed by the next candle, with the volume in the ring.

MBO DOM

Bid against ask at every price as mirror bars, the POC in gold, and each candle's delta with the cumulative delta below.

Gamma PrimeReal option chains· India + crypto

Where dealers have to hedge

Gamma Prime reads the live option chain and draws the call wall, the put wall and the zero-gamma flip on your chart. Off-screen levels stay pinned to the edge with an arrow.

  • The Trades panel under the chart takes less room: only as tall as your trades, slimmer rows, and your live trades always on top.

  • Candle Studio opens again: candle colours, body style, Renko type, Bricks to turn and brick look.
  • Trades panel: Buy in green with an arrow up, Sell in red with an arrow down, smaller MT5 / DHAN / PAPER tags.
  • OI Crossover: every F&O stock's and index's call and put OI change through the day, with each bullish or bearish crossover, its time and how many times it flipped - filters, a chart per symbol and CSV.
  • Supertrend shows a tiny BUY / SELL where a trend starts.
  • CandleForge Mobile 0.14: 194 indicators - the new Renko tools, the Swift family, Trend Band Pro, ALMA / TEMA Pro, 84 standard indicators, 17 strategies and trend-coloured moving averages.

  • Advance-Decline gets a live index view: pick NIFTY 50, BANK or any sector to see its breadth gauge, its advances and declines through the day beside its price, the stocks that moved it and all its stocks as tiles.
  • Your own chart watermark: your text, size, opacity, colour and place. Scale text down to 6.
  • Indicator panes: drag a pane's scale to stretch it, and the pointer in a pane shows the same moment on the main chart.
  • CandleForge opens in about 6 seconds instead of about 15.
  • New Renko trend tools: Trend Probability (how sure the brick trend is), Regime Meter (trend or chop), Trend Health (strong, steady, tiring or exhausted) and Measured Move Targets with this chart's own hit rates.
  • A new strategy, Renko Probability Rider, that tests itself on your chart's own history.
  • Every moving average glows green while it rises and red while it falls, and Renko Heat Bricks are solid green or red, bright when fast.
  • Split screens: Screener, Order Flow, Tape and Trading open inside the chart you are working on. The Indicators window and the Screener card can be dragged.
  • A new Strategies tab: 16 ready strategies such as Opening Drive, Trend Pullback, VWAP Reclaim, CPR Reversal and NR7 Breakout. Each one tests itself on the chart's own history after costs and shows win %, profit factor, drawdown and the equity curve.
  • A new Renko tab: Renko Kit, Renko Pro and Renko Lab - Swing Map, Command Center, Smart Zones, Heat Bricks, Pattern Memory, Box Lab and more, on finished bricks only.

  • Advance-Decline for the whole market with an NSE | BSE switch, and a Stock Screener that shows when each call began.
  • Dhan daily charts show today's full candle during market hours. The top bar fits every screen without flickering, and OI on Chart no longer freezes.
  • Split charts are fully separate: every chart keeps its own timeframe and its own indicators.
  • Dhan market depth on NSE stocks and F&O: Depth Heatmap, MBO DOM and Liquidity Heatmap on Indian charts, with up to 200 levels on each side.
  • Liquidity Heatmap gets a Buy / sell mode: resting orders as glowing green and amber zones, tagged walls and a bid / ask ladder.
  • Heavy Absorption works on every chart with volume: heavy volume at a fresh low or high with little price result.
  • Trend Band Pro: a new trend line that moves only on strong candles, with the trend band, trend-coloured candles and flip alerts.
  • Order Block Pro with fair value gaps built in, the size of every block and gap, and live distances to the nearest support and resistance on every tick.
  • Steadier screens: a Duplicate screen keeps its own indicators, nothing blinks when several CandleForge windows are open, and every window moves to a new version by itself.
  • Options Lab Vega shows the same numbers on every PC, and the Power Scalper gets a Big view that fills the whole window - perfect on a second monitor.
  • The Best Strike card can be dragged anywhere on the chart.
  • Liquidity Heatmap with the live order book on the right edge, the way Bookmap shows it: size at every price, bids and asks, the spread - plus a colour scale, a Contrast setting and three new colour maps.
  • Duplicate screen is now the whole CandleForge in its own window - watchlist, trading, scanner, screener, order flow, Lab and every tool - with its own chart. Each window stays open until you close it.
  • Pop any split-screen or scalper chart out to another monitor: click its pop-out button or simply drag it out of the window. Power Scalper > New window moves the whole scalper.
  • Liquidity Heatmap on crypto and gold: the full Bookmap-style map with the live order book's biggest walls as LIQ lines, and a light map on the white theme.
  • Order Block Pro and Smart RSI: graded order blocks that never repaint, an OB Radar that scans whole markets and alerts on new, touched and broken blocks, and RSI zones that follow the trend with graded divergences.
  • Alerts now work on every CandleForge indicator, and a compact watchlist with smaller rows and real logos.
  • A sharper Footprint: diagonal imbalances the way order-flow traders read them, stacked zones, and unfinished-auction lines that stay until price returns. Heavy Absorption now marks the really big prints.
  • Every direct broker checked end to end - Upstox, Zerodha, FYERS, Angel One, Groww and Dhan - with faster first charts and clearer messages when a login ends. The Options Lab opens much faster without Dhan.
  • CandleForge now speaks English everywhere: menus, messages, alerts, the tour and the guides.
  • Dhan live data you can trust: chart candles are matched with Dhan's own candles every 30 seconds, missed candles come back after a minimised window or a sleeping PC, and no flat candles after the market closes.
  • An honest Dhan connection: the token's real expiry, automatic renewal while CandleForge is open, and a clear message when the token has ended or the Data API plan is off.
  • The drawing tools menu opens above the indicator list, multi-screen charts follow Dhan as soon as it connects, SENSEX / BANKEX options run on Dhan in the Lab, and the Lab opens faster.
  • New watchlist with search, favourites and filters, real company logos, crypto icons and forex flags (2.41).
  • Pine Editor and Strategy Tester: run TradingView Pine Script (v4 / v5 / v6) on the chart. Plus every TradingView chart type, layouts up to 16 charts and the new Hybrid MACD.
  • Screener alert bells: tap the bell next to a symbol and get an alert the moment a new BUY or SELL begins. Chart and screener now share one timeframe.
  • A lighter Options Lab: the 3D pages are gone, so the Lab opens faster.
  • A new opening: Neem Karoli Baba and his handwritten Raam naam, as a quiet golden watermark.
  • One Lab for every market: pick India, Crypto, Forex, Metals, Energy or World at the top of the Lab.
  • Segments: India, Crypto, Forex, Metals, Energy or US & World in one click (Alt+1 to 7) - the whole app shows that market.
  • Three new Labs: Crypto Lab (funding, open interest, long / short, liquidations, basis, Deribit options), Macro Lab (currency strength, daily ranges, ratios, COT, seasonality) and World Lab (US heatmap, sectors, VIX, yield curve, COT).
  • Kill Switch: close everything and lock with one press, with daily loss, profit target and trading-time rules for each segment.
  • Best strike from the Option Score and the screener's signal now on the chart.

Is there a phone app?

CandleForge is a desktop app for Windows and Mac today. We will announce any other version on this site.

Key & payment

Is CandleForge free?

Yes, the FREE plan is. Register in the app (name, WhatsApp, address) and it starts at once: candlestick charts, the usual timeframes, the common indicators and the drawing tools. Everything marked with a crown needs a PRO key.

How do I get a PRO key?

What is the difference between FREE and PRO?

FREE has candlestick charts on the usual timeframes, the common indicators, drawings and live data. PRO adds every other chart type, second and tick timeframes, the CandleForge indicators (ProTrend, FVG Pro, Supertrend Pro, ORB, Levels, Smart Money…), order flow and footprint, Options Lab, screener, scanner, alerts, replay, paper trading, MT5 trading and multi-chart layouts. See Plans.

Can I use one key on two computers?

No. A key is made for one PC's Machine ID. Sharing, selling or using it on another PC is not allowed. If you change your computer, message us and we will help.

What happens when my key's days run out?

CandleForge goes back to the FREE plan until you add a new key. Your settings and layouts stay on your PC.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds follow our Refund & Cancellation Policy. Write to us on WhatsApp with your Machine ID and payment details.

Data & safety

Is my broker login safe?

CandleForge never asks for your broker password, PIN, OTP or TOTP. It reads market data, and your API keys stay on your own computer.

What do you receive from my PC?

Your registration details, your PC's Machine ID and the app version, so the key can work. The Privacy Policy lists everything.

Do you give tips or buy / sell calls?

No. CandleForge is charting and analysis software. It does not give investment advice or tips, and every trading decision is your own. Read the Risk Disclaimer.

Technical

What computer do I need?

Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), or a Mac with Apple Silicon or Intel, and an internet connection. For gold and forex, a logged-in MetaTrader 5 terminal.

Is there a phone app?

Yes, CandleForge for Android. Download it from the Download section, open the file and allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser once. Sign up inside the app; it opens once your access is approved. The app tells you when a new version is out.

How do updates work?

The app checks for a new version on its own. On Windows you click Update once; the Mac app installs the update itself. Your key and settings stay.

Why are whale orders empty on a weekend?

Whale Orders build from live trades. For the Indian indices CandleForge saves the record on disk, so the last session's whales stay visible when the market is closed.
