Read and customize 4CastMachine AI on the chart Wall-to-wall indicators often clash and hide the candles underneath. In **4CM-AI Charts**, every supported market opens with the live 4CastMachine AI roadmap drawn on price. You get one [Pivot line](), scenario arrows, and shaded [Buy, Sell, Profit, and Reverse zones](). These act as road signs, not signals. They map clear levels for your trading plan and [stepped profit targets]() in seconds. ## What each part of the roadmap means The roadmap starts active on every supported symbol and timeframe. It separates two clear layers: the **forecast** (arrows and shaded zones) and the **technical lines** (support, resistance, and trend lines). ![Full-width EURUSD 1h chart showing the bearish roadmap below 1.11000, Reverse zone, Sell zone, downward arrows, and Profit zone.](https://m.forecastcity.com/t/tnt_forecastcity/media/a7/a7896c18fd1aa69384731f2d4835cbdac099c4d76109468f9ab010f59761a7bc.png) EURUSD on 1h with its bearish roadmap, Pivot at 1.11000, Sell zone, Reverse zone, and Profit zone. 1. **Quick 4CastMachine AI toggle:** click **4CM** on the left rail to view bare candles for a moment and bring the roadmap right back. 2. **Reverse zone and alternate path:** if a [healthy candle breakout]() closes past the Reverse zone, the dashed arrows show where bias flips. 3. **Pivot line, Sell zone, and main arrow path:** the dotted Pivot (**Bearish Below 1.11000**) splits the two paths. The Sell zone marks the pullback area for the main downward move. 4. **Profit zone targets:** the green target zone spans the primary take-profit levels, here S1 at `1.09950` to S2 at `1.09660`. When price breaks key structure, 4CastMachine AI recalculates the roadmap. Your zones and targets always reflect live market structure. **Reading EURUSD 1h in practice:** price trades at `1.10241` under the `1.11000` Pivot. Below `1.11000`, rallies into the Sell zone (`1.10720` to `1.11000`) favor the downward path toward `1.09950` and `1.09660`. A clean break above the Reverse zone (`1.11000` to `1.11480`) activates the dashed bullish path instead. ## How do you overlay higher-timeframe technical lines? While timing an entry on 15m or 1h, you can project support, resistance, and trend lines from a higher timeframe onto your chart. ![EURUSD 1h chart beside the 4CastMachine AI panel with both 1h and 4h ringed, overlaying 4h technical lines onto 1h candles.](https://m.forecastcity.com/t/tnt_forecastcity/media/2f/2f89ce7998521943138d0287819283ffcd15edb198be902ecbe79dde067bb6a7.png) Click the 4h row in the 4CastMachine AI panel to draw 4h technical lines directly on your 1h chart. 1. **Active chart timeframe:** the ring around **1h** shows that this chart draws the 1h forecast arrows and zones. 2. **Clicked higher timeframe:** clicking **4h** adds a second ring and draws its 4h technical lines, such as the `1.11720` Pivot, on your 1h chart. Arrows and shaded zones stay on their own timeframe so your chart stays clean. 3. **One-click forecast alert icon:** click the lightning, arrow, or zone icon on any row to set an alert. See [Alerts: start here]() for every alert option. ## Customize colors, labels and history in Settings Right-click an empty spot on the chart and pick **Settings** to open the **4CastMachine** tab. ![The 4CastMachine tab in Chart Settings on XAUUSD D, showing forecast visibility, colors, higher-timeframe toggles, and Trend Hunter history.](https://m.forecastcity.com/t/tnt_forecastcity/media/c3/c381bde1153df12995301bd49fb3227a38efb791f0f88555085fffa92eb55f6d.png) Open Settings and pick the 4CastMachine tab to customize colors, higher-timeframe lines, and Trend Hunter history. 1. **Show 4CastMachine AI Forecast:** master switch for the forecast layer on the active chart. 2. **Bullish and bearish colors:** change the blue and red palette, or tick **Colored background behind level labels** for filled tags. Untick Show Details if you want lines without text. 3. **Higher TF Support & Resistance:** controls whether automated higher-timeframe levels and **Higher TF Trend Lines** draw by default. 4. **Show Trend Hunter History:** marks past Trend Hunter setups on D, W, and M charts while keeping intraday charts clean. Adding RSI also lets **Show Divergence and Technical Lines on RSI** draw automated RSI lines. ## Related guides - [3\. Chart timeframes: what they are and how to change them]() - [5\.
