Most financial assets such as cryptocurrencies, forex pairs, stocks, and indices are represented through a standardized set of values commonly referred to as OHLCV:

1. Open – the price at which an asset starts trading for a given time period

2. High – the highest price reached during that period

3. Low – the lowest price reached during that period

4. Close – the price at which the asset finishes trading for that period

5. Volume – the amount of the asset traded during that period

These values exist for every time frame, whether you are looking at minutes, hours, days, or weeks.

Basic operations allow you to work directly with these raw values, without applying indicators, transformations, or derived logic. This makes them the most transparent and reliable building blocks in the system.

By treating each OHLCV value as a separate operation, you can track, compare, and visualize them independently. This gives you multiple analytical dimensions to work with, even when you are only using basic operations.

For example, you might:

• Track price movement using close

• Measure volatility using high and low

• Observe market participation using volume

• Analyze session behavior using open

All of this can be done without adding any advanced indicators.

Why basic operations matter

Basic operations are important because they:

• Provide unfiltered market data

• Serve as the foundation for all indicators and signals

• Allow precise control over what you are measuring

• Work consistently across all supported asset classes

• Make your views easier to understand and audit

If you ever wonder what an indicator is really doing under the hood, it almost always starts from these same OHLCV values.

Using basic operations in widgets

You can use basic operations to build widgets directly in your views. Each operation can be requested explicitly, combined with different assets, or displayed across different time frames.

Because each OHLCV value is treated as its own operation, the system can generate:

• One or multiple charts

• Separate visualizations per asset

• Independent time resolutions

• Parallel comparisons across assets or values

This makes basic operations extremely flexible despite their simplicity.

Sample basic operations

Below are examples of the most basic forms of basic operation prompts. These prompts directly request raw OHLCV data without applying any indicators or derived logic.

Open value prompts:

1. "Show me Bitcoin opening prices"

2. "Display Ethereum daily open chart"

3. "Track Dogecoin opening values"

4. "Give me BTC open price history"

5. "Show ETH opening prices on hourly chart"

High value prompts:

1. "Show me Bitcoin daily high prices"

1. "Display Ethereum daily highs chart"

1. "Track Solana high values over time"

1. "Give me BTC weekly high prices"

1. "Show DOGE highest prices each day"

Low value prompts:

1. "Show me Bitcoin daily low prices"

1. "Display Ethereum daily lows chart"

1. "Track Dogecoin low values"

1. "Give me BTC weekly low prices"

1. "Show SOL lowest prices each day"

Close value prompts:

1. "Show me Bitcoin price"

1. "Give me Ethereum price chart"

1. "Display Dogecoin closing price"

1. "Track Solana price over time"

1. "What's the current Euro Dollar exchange rate?"

Volume value prompts:

1. "Show me Bitcoin trading volume"

1. "Display Ethereum volume chart"

1. "Track Dogecoin volume over time"

1. "Give me BTC volume history"

1. "Show me ETH trading activity"

Multi-Asset OHLCV value prompts:

1. "Show me daily prices for BTC, ETH, and SOL" (creates 3 charts)

1. "Display weekly volume charts for top 3 cryptos" (creates 3 charts)

1. "Track weekly Bitcoin and Ethereum prices" (creates 2 charts)

1. "Give me BTC close and volume charts" (creates 2 charts)

1. "Show me daily EURUSD, GBPUSD prices" (creates 2 charts)

Summary

Basic operations give you direct access to raw market data through OHLCV values. They are simple, explicit, and powerful, and they form the foundation for everything else you build in the system.

Whether you are creating a clean price view, comparing assets, or preparing data for more advanced signals, basic operations are always the starting point.
