# TradingView Charts for Rubicon

By [Rubicon](https://paragraph.com/@rubicon) · 2023-01-20

Rubicon has a redesigned Trade page with charts from [TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/), it’s live now on the App: [**app.rubicon.finance/trade**](http://app.rubicon.finance/trade)

With the new interface, traders can place Limit Orders and Market Orders while tracking markets with live price charts and order books!

Trade Overview
--------------

First, select a trading pair. The Rubicon protocol is permissionless and supports trading of any [ERC-20 token](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-20/), but for now, the App uses a shortlist of popular tokens on Optimism. Select or flip the tokens to view the chart and order book for the pair:

Now it’s time to place a trade. [Market Orders](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketorder.asp) specify a **quantity** and are executed instantly at the market price, the best possible price on the order book. These orders pay a 0.01% protocol fee for “taking” liquidity off the book. Swaps on Rubicon are effectively market orders that can route across multiple order books!

[Limit Orders](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/limitorder.asp) specify a **price and a quantity** and are only filled if the market price crosses the limit price. Note that tokens offered in a limit order are sent to the [Rubicon order book contract](https://optimistic.etherscan.io/address/0x7a512d3609211e719737e82c7bb7271ec05da70d) and remain there until the order is filled or canceled. Traders can cancel orders and check their status under the Orders tab or the [History](https://app.rubicon.finance/history) page:

Live Charts & Market Data
-------------------------

Regardless of what they trade, people love the feature-rich charts from [TradingView](https://www.tradingview.com/). Rubicon integrated the [Technical Analysis Charts](https://www.tradingview.com/HTML5-stock-forex-bitcoin-charting-library/?feature=technical-analysis-charts), which have many chart types, dozens of technical analysis (TA) tools, custom time/date ranges, and seamless price scaling. Our team really likes Fullscreen Mode:

The data that populates the charts, the order books, and open orders is queried from Rubicon’s subgraphs; open APIs for querying historical data from the blockchain. You can use our subgraphs to query market data and historical token prices. Here are links to getting started:
