# Visualizing Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit on Live Charts

When reviewing past trades or monitoring open positions, it is highly useful to see exactly where you entered the market, where your stop loss was set, and where your target was placed.

Trader Journal integrates TradingView Lightweight Charts (v4) directly into the Trade Detail and Open Positions pages, allowing you to visualize your execution levels on live interactive candlestick charts.

## Visual Price Lines on Candle Charts

The chart WebView loads a candlestick series with three distinct horizontal price lines:
- **Entry Line:** A solid blue line showing your execution price.
- **Stop Loss Line:** A red dashed line showing your risk level.
- **Take Profit Line:** A green dashed line showing your profit target.

This layout allows you to immediately evaluate if your stop loss was set too tight or if your take profit was placed at an unrealistic key resistance level.

## Broker Suffix Normalization

Different MT4 and MT5 brokers add custom suffixes to currency symbols (e.g., `EURUSD.fx`, `GBPUSD.m`, or `USDJPY.pro`). These suffixes can break standard chart widgets.

Trader Journal solves this by normalizing suffixes automatically. The system strips `.fx` or `.pro` suffixes before requesting data from the UDF API. This ensures that charts load instantly for any symbol, regardless of your broker's naming conventions.
