In the dynamic world of trading, having the ability to save and recall chart settings on TradingView can significantly enhance your efficiency and consistency. This feature allows you to customize your charts, apply specific indicators, and save these settings for future use. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to save and manage your chart settings on TradingView.
Before delving into the process, it's essential to understand that TradingView offers two types of saved layouts: templates and workspaces. Templates are specific to a single chart, while workspaces can contain multiple charts with their respective settings. Let's explore both.
Saving Chart Settings as Templates
Templates are ideal for saving specific chart settings that you frequently use. Here's how to create and manage them:
1. **Creating a Template:** Customize your chart as desired, then click on the 'Save as Template' button located at the bottom of the chart. Enter a name and a description for your template, then click 'Save'.
2. **Applying a Template:** To apply a saved template, click on the 'Load Template' button, select the desired template from the list, and click 'Apply'.
Managing Templates
To view and manage your saved templates, click on the 'Template Library' button. Here, you can edit, delete, or share your templates. You can also browse and apply templates created by the TradingView community.
To delete a template, hover over it, click the three dots that appear, and select 'Delete'. To edit, click on the template's name, make your changes, and click 'Save'.
Using the Template Library
The Template Library is a vast resource where you can find templates created by other traders. You can browse by category, search by keyword, or sort by popularity. To use a community template, simply click on it, then click 'Apply'.
You can also save community templates to your personal library by clicking the 'Save' button while viewing the template's details.
Saving and Managing Workspaces
Workspaces are perfect for saving multiple charts with their respective settings. This is particularly useful for tracking different assets or strategies.
1. **Creating a Workspace:** To create a new workspace, click on the '+' icon next to the 'Workspaces' label at the top of the screen. Enter a name for your workspace and click 'Create'.
2. **Adding Charts to a Workspace:** To add a chart to your workspace, right-click on the chart and select 'Add to Workspace'. Choose the workspace you want to add it to, or create a new one.
Managing Workspaces
To view and manage your workspaces, click on the 'Workspaces' label at the top of the screen. Here, you can rename, delete, or switch between workspaces. To delete a workspace, click the three dots next to it and select 'Delete'. To rename, click on the workspace's name, enter the new name, and press 'Enter'.
To switch to a different workspace, simply click on its name in the 'Workspaces' dropdown.
Incorporating saved layouts into your trading routine can greatly improve your productivity and consistency. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or investor, having quick access to your preferred chart settings can make a significant difference in your trading experience. Happy trading!
