Add Custom Timeframe Creation to Chart Settings

I would like to request the ability to create and save custom timeframes within TopstepX charts.

Currently, the platform only allows selection from a fixed list of predefined timeframes. This limits flexibility, especially for traders who rely on specific execution intervals (for example: 2-minute, 20-minute, 45-minute, or custom session-based timeframes).

Proposed feature:

  • Allow users to input and save custom timeframes (e.g., 2m, 20m, 90m, etc.)

  • Enable these custom timeframes to appear alongside existing ones in the timeframe selector

  • Option to favorite or pin frequently used timeframes for faster access

Why this matters:
Many trading strategies depend on precise timeframe alignment. Not having access to custom intervals forces traders to compromise their execution or switch platforms for analysis.

Adding this feature would significantly improve workflow efficiency and make TopstepX more adaptable to different trading styles.

      10000, 8000 and 100 tick charts would be beneficial. Found them very helpful in Ninja

    Custom Timeframe Option for Charts

    I would like to request the ability to create and use custom timeframes in Project X β€” such as the 7-minute, or 12-hour charts. This feature would greatly help traders who rely on non-standard timeframes for backtesting, scalping, or intraday strategies.

    Currently, we are limited to preset timeframes, which restricts flexibility and forces users to switch platforms for full execution or analysis.

    Enabling this would enhance usability and make Project X more appealing to a broader audience of active traders.

    Custom timeframes

    I would like to see an option were traders can enter unique timeframes that are accessible to be used. It is frustrating right now when trading because you’ll have to go to tradingview to look at the charts and lines drawn on the custom timeframe. Can you guys please add this on topstepx. It would be a great addition to topstep charts.

    Day Trader get more value from adding a 10 minute chart instead of offering a weekly chart.

    10m Candle Addition Requested

    It would be extremely helpful to have a clear and native 10 minute candle option available on the charts, with the same functionality and visibility as the other standard timeframes. Many traders rely heavily on the 10 minute chart for structure, supply and demand, and execution refinement, and having it fully supported would improve consistency and usability.

    Thank you for considering this. I appreciate the work you are doing on the platform and look forward to future updates. Especially adding the 10m candle timeframe.

    Best regards
    Profitable trader who wants 10m candle
