Hi @Hiếu Nguyễn
thank you for your question — I’ll be happy to guide you.
To compare SMT data using two different charts (similar to TradingView), please follow these steps:
Enable multi-chart mode Open a new layout and add two charts to the workspace.
Select different symbols.
On each chart, choose the instruments you want to compare (for example, two correlated markets).
Synchronize the charts.
This ensures the price action aligns correctly for SMT comparison.
Apply available analysis tools.
At the moment, FTO does not have a dedicated SMT divergence indicator.
For analysis, you can:
Use SMC indicators for market structure and liquidity context.
Use MACD for classic momentum divergence.
Identify SMT divergence manually by visually comparing the price action on two synchronized charts side by side.
This setup will allow you to visually compare price action and identify SMT divergences effectively, even without a dedicated SMT indicator.
If you’d like, you can also send us a project link or a screenshot of your setup, and we’ll be happy to review it and suggest improvements.

I followed the instructions, however, the scaling between the two charts is inconsistent, and the mouse cursor is also very annoying to use. Please help me fix it.

Hi there, thanks for sending over the video explaining the issue.
Could you please share the project you're showing in the video with us?
That would help our team investigate what's going on with the chart scaling and cursor.

Honestly, I find the operations very laggy and frustrating. Regarding the project, I'm currently testing EURUSD in February 2025. However, synchronizing the two charts is very annoying.
As you can see in the video, I used TradingView, and the interaction between the two charts is very intuitive and seamless. I hope FTO can achieve the same.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and the video — I completely understand how frustrating this experience can be.
I’ve already reported the performance and synchronization issue to our development team. They are aware of the problem and are actively working on improvements, although please note that resolving this properly may require some time.
As a temporary workaround, I’d recommend the following setup, which should help improve chart synchronization:
Create a new project.
Enable a layout with two charts right from the start.
Immediately activate and keep enabled:
Timeframe
Data range
Zoom
On each chart, right-click and enable Auto-follow.
With these settings enabled from the beginning, chart synchronization should work more smoothly and consistently.
Thank you for your patience and for comparing your experience with TradingView — feedback like this is very valuable for us as we continue improving Forex Tester Online.

As you can see, I've followed your instructions, but I still haven't seen any improvement. I think FTO should address this immediately. It's truly frustrating and disheartening.

Thank you for the video.
I completely understand how frustrating and discouraging this experience feels, and I’m really sorry for the inconvenience.
I carefully reproduced all the steps shown in your video.
There is one additional step that is important after enabling Timeframe, Data range, and Zoom:
After activating these options, please click Start testing (not Bar Forward).
Once a few bars appear on the charts, you can then use Bar Forward — at this point, the candles should stay synchronized across both charts.
Regarding the core issue: I’ve already shared your feedback with our developers. They have confirmed this is a known bug, and it is planned to be fixed in the next release, which is expected in approximately 3–4 weeks.
Thank you for sticking with us while we work on making FTO smoother and more intuitive.
