Whether you're a seasoned trader or just starting out, organizing your charts is a crucial aspect of technical analysis. TradingView, a powerful charting tool, allows you to open and arrange multiple charts side by side to compare assets, indicators, and timeframes simultaneously. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to open and manage two charts on TradingView for enhanced analysis.
Before diving into the process, ensure you have a TradingView account, and you're logged in. This platform offers a range of plans, starting from free to premium, catering to both casual and professional traders.
Accessing Full-Screen Mode and Multiple Charts
To fully utilize TradingView's multiple charts feature, you'll need to access full-screen mode first. This mode minimizes distractions and maximizes your screen real estate for chart analysis.
Full-screen mode can be accessed through the 'Maximize' button located at the top right corner of your TradingView window. Clicking on it will expand your workspace to fill your entire screen. To exit full-screen, click on the 'Minimize' button or press the 'Esc' key.
Opening the First Chart
To open your first chart, navigate to the 'Chart' button on the TradingView homepage. Clicking on it will open a new chart window. You can also press 'Ctrl + N' (Windows/Linux) or 'Cmd + N' (Mac) to open a new chart directly.
In the new chart window, enter the ticker symbol of the asset you want to analyze in the search bar at the top. For example, type 'AAPL' for Apple Inc. Select your desired asset from the dropdown menu, and your chart will load. You can choose from stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, among other instruments.
Opening the Second Chart
To open the second chart while the first one is active, follow the same steps as above. Press 'Ctrl + N' or 'Cmd + N' to open a new chart window, and enter the ticker symbol of the second asset you want to analyze.
Alternatively, you can also open a new chart by right-clicking on an asset's ticker symbol in the 'Pine Editor' sidebar or the 'Scan Results' panel. This will open a new chart window for the selected asset. To open multiple charts simultaneously, hold down 'Ctrl' or 'Cmd' while right-clicking on each asset's ticker symbol.
Arranging and Comparing Two Charts
Now that you have two open charts, let's explore how to arrange and compare them for efficient analysis.
By default, both charts will open next to each other in the full-screen mode. You can resize and arrange them as needed by dragging the partition bar in between the two charts. Hovering over the partition bar will highlight it, enabling you to move it left or right to adjust the size of each chart window.
Mirroring and Syncing Charts
TradingView allows you to mirror one chart to another, displaying the same chart type, timeframe, and indicators. To mirror a chart, click on the 'Mirror' button located at the top right corner of the chart you want to copy. Select the other chart window, and both charts will display the same chart configuration.
To sync the charts, enabling them to update in real-time with the same timeframe and data, click on the 'Sync' button next to the 'Mirror' button. When syncing, both charts will remain independent, allowing you to add unique indicators or draw tools to each chart.
Zooming and Panorama Mode
To get a closer look at price action, you can zoom in on either chart by clicking on the 'Zoom In' button at the top of the chart window or by using your mouse's scroll wheel. To вернуться back to the default view, click on the 'Zoom Out' button or press 'Esc'.
Additionally, TradingView offers a 'Panorama' view, enabling you to observe historical data and future projections simultaneously. To access panorama mode, click on the 'Panorama' button located next to the zoom buttons. This feature is particularly useful when analyzing longer-term trends and potential support/resistance levels.
Incorporating multiple charts into your technical analysis routine can significantly enhance your understanding of market dynamics. Experiment with different assets, timeframes, and indicators to develop your own unique approach to trading. Happy analyzing, and here's to profitable trading!
