How to Add Another Chart in TradingView: A Complete Guide

Adding more charts to your TradingView screen lets you look at several assets, markets, or timeframes all at once. It's a fantastic way to get a fuller picture and make smarter trades. This guide will walk you through everything—from what you need to get started, to setting it up, customizing your view, and even some pro tips. You'll be confidently using multiple charts in no time.

Why Multi-Chart Layouts Are So Useful

With TradingView's multi-chart feature, you can have up to eight different charts open side-by-side on one screen. The best part is that each chart is its own independent workspace. You can add different indicators or drawing tools to each one, and set individual timeframes, all without the charts getting messy or overlapping.

This is different from just overlaying one price line on top of another. Instead, you get clean, separate windows for analysis. This is super helpful for comparing how different assets are moving, or for seeing both the short-term action and the long-term trend at the same time. For active traders, it helps you connect the dots and make more strategic decisions.

Analysis Type	Focused on one asset/ timeframe	Comparative across assets/ timeframes
Indicators & Tools	One shared set per chart	Unique sets for each chart
Visual Clarity	Can get cluttered with overlays	Clean, separate analysis windows
Ideal For	Quick check, basic analysis	Complex strategy, market context

Unlock the Power of Multiple Charts

Ever wish you could keep an eye on several stocks or charts at the same time, all neatly arranged on one screen? TradingView's multi-chart feature lets you do exactly that.

Before we dive in, it's helpful to know that this specific functionality is part of TradingView's paid subscriptions. It starts with their Pro plan. For those looking to enhance their technical analysis, you might also explore advanced indicators like the Kaufman's Adaptive Moving Average (KAMA): The Self-Adjusting Indicator That Beats Traditional MAs Every Time to complement your multi-chart setup.

If you're using the free version for now, you can still open multiple charts by launching several browser tabs or windows. It's a handy workaround, but it does have its drawbacks. You'll have to set up each chart individually every time, and they won't automatically sync with each other, which can be a bit of a manual process.

Upgrading to a Pro plan or higher unlocks a much smoother experience. You get fully integrated multi-chart layouts, the ability to sync the symbol across all your charts with one click, and perhaps best of all, you can save your custom layouts. This means your perfect setup is waiting for you exactly as you left it every time you log in.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Another Chart

Adding more charts to your screen is a super easy way to compare different assets. Here's how you do it, step-by-step.

1. Head over to the layout panel in the top menu. It's right next to your chart's title (which sometimes says "Unnamed"—don't worry, that's normal).
2. Click the button that says Select Layout. This will open up a menu showing you all the different ways you can arrange your screen.
3. Pick the layout that works for you. You can choose anything from two charts sitting side-by-side to a whole grid of up to eight charts at once.
4. Now, just click on each new, empty chart window that appears. Type in the name or ticker symbol of the stock, crypto, or other asset you want to look at, and it will load right up.
5. Keep repeating this for any other new charts you added until every single pane is showing the instrument you want to track.

And that's it! TradingView will automatically fit everything together neatly, so you can start your analysis right away without any fussy resizing.

Once your multi-chart setup is ready, you can take your analysis even further by adding custom indicators to each pane. With Pineify's visual editor, you can build and apply unique indicators to all your charts without any coding, making it simple to spot opportunities across different assets simultaneously.

Making Each Chart Your Own

The real power of a multi-chart layout is that you can set up each individual pane to tell a different part of the story. Think of each one as its own dedicated workspace.

Here's how you can customize them independently:

• Swap Chart Types: Easily change a candlestick chart to a simple line chart or bars using the chart type selector.
• Add Your Tools: Pop open the Indicators menu to add your favorite technical studies or trading strategies to any pane.
• Mix Timeframes: This is a game-changer. Set one chart to a 1-hour view and another to a daily view to compare short-term moves with the long-term trend, all side-by-side.
• Tweak the View: Right-click on any chart, select "Settings," and adjust things like how tight the bars are spaced or how much history you want to see.

The best part? You can tweak, adjust, and experiment with one pane without it affecting any of the others. This lets you tailor each chart for a specific job, making your overall analysis much sharper.

Getting Organized: How to Save and Manage Your Chart Layouts

Ever spent ages getting your charts set up perfectly, only to lose the arrangement? Here's how to save your setup so you can come back to it anytime, on any device.

It's super simple:

1. Look at the top menu for the layout name (it usually says "Unnamed" to start). Click the little down arrow next to it.
2. Choose Rename, give it a clear name that you'll remember later (like "My Swing Trading Setup"), and confirm. This replaces the "Unnamed" label.
3. Now, click Save layout or just press Ctrl+S on your keyboard. This locks in your current multi-chart configuration.
4. A note on Autosave: If you toggle Autosave on, every little change you make will be saved automatically. This is great for evolving your main setup. But if you want to keep a layout as a clean template to experiment from, turn Autosave off before you start making temporary changes.
5. To open a saved layout, you can either press the . (dot) key on your keyboard or go to the same layout dropdown and select Load layout….

The best part? All your saved layouts are stored with your TradingView profile, not on a single computer. This means you can seamlessly access your exact chart setups from your laptop, desktop, or even a different computer entirely. No files to manage or lose.

How to Get the Most Out of Multiple Charts

Using multiple charts at once can feel like a superpower for your analysis, but it can also get messy fast. Here's how I like to set things up to keep it all clean and effective.

• Compare What Makes Sense: Stick to charts that are actually related. Looking at Apple's stock next to a chart of wheat futures probably won't give you any useful insights. Keeping your charts focused on similar assets helps you see the real connections.

• Think in Terms of Timeframes: A great way to use multiple panes is to look at different timeframes. I often use one chart for the big picture (like the daily or weekly view) to understand the main trend, and then use another chart for a closer look (like the 15-minute view) to help pinpoint better entry or exit points.

• Sync Your Symbols: This is a huge time-saver. Find that little chain-link icon and set it to Symbol. Once you do this, changing the ticker symbol in your main chart will automatically update all the other synced charts. It keeps everything consistent without you having to change each one manually.

• Save Your Favorite Setups: If you have a specific combination of indicators you love for, say, a 4-hour chart, save it as a template. Then, you can apply that entire setup to any new chart with one click. It keeps your analysis consistent and saves you from rebuilding your tools every time.

• Keep Your Layouts Tidy: It's easy to end up with a dozen saved layouts you never use. Every so often, go through your layout manager and delete the ones that are just collecting digital dust. A clean workspace helps you focus on what's important.

Sticking to these simple habits will make your multi-chart setup feel less like a complicated control panel and more like a natural extension of your trading strategy.

Advanced Features and Order Placement

One of the handiest things about TradingView is that you don't need to jump between apps to place a trade. You can do it all right from your chart. Just look for the Trade button on the chart pane.

This gives you access to some powerful tools to manage your risk and lock in profits, including:

• Trailing Stops: This lets your profit run while automatically protecting you if the market reverses.
• Stop-Loss Orders: You can set a predefined level to automatically exit a trade and cap your potential losses.
• Bracket Orders: This is a great way to plan your entire trade upfront, setting both your profit-taking and stop-loss levels at the same time you enter the position.

To help you make precise decisions, you can choose to display the live bid and ask price lines directly on your chart. If you have specific needs, you can even add custom fields to your order ticket.

And here's a feature that really changes the game: you can keep multiple charts open side-by-side while you place an order. This means you can watch the big picture on a higher time frame while executing on a smaller one, making sure you have a complete view of the market before you pull the trigger.

How to Get Multiple Charts for Free

If you're not ready for a paid subscription, there's a clever workaround you can use right in your browser. It involves a simple extension that lets you tile your browser tabs.

Here's how it works:

Browser	Recommended Extension
Chrome	Tile Tabs WE
Firefox	Tile Tabs WE

1. Install the "Tile Tabs WE" extension from your browser's web store.
2. Once it's installed, open it and create a tiled layout (like splitting your screen into two or four sections).
3. In each new tab, go to TradingView and load the chart and indicators you want to see.
4. You can then manually arrange which asset ticker appears in each chart box.

The main thing to know is that this method isn't built into TradingView itself. The charts won't sync up if you zoom or pan, and your layout won't save automatically. But for quickly glancing at a few charts side-by-side without paying for a subscription, it's a pretty handy trick.

Got Questions? We've Got Answers.

Q: Do I need a paid plan to add another chart? A: Yes, you do. If you're on the free plan, you'll need to use separate tabs for different charts. The ability to see multiple charts side-by-side on one screen is a feature of our Pro plan and above.

Q: How many charts can I display at once? A: You can display up to eight charts in a single layout. The exact number you can use depends on your subscription level and how much space you have on your screen.

Q: Can I sync symbols across charts? A: Absolutely! This is a super handy feature. Just click the little chain-link icon and choose Symbol from the menu. Once you do that, changing the ticker in one chart will automatically update all the other charts in your layout.

Q: How do I switch between saved layouts quickly? A: For the fastest switch, just press the . (dot) key on your keyboard. If you prefer clicking, you can also use the layout dropdown menu to pull up any of your saved setups in a snap.

Q: What if I want to experiment without losing my layout? A: No problem! Before you start tinkering, just go to the layout dropdown and turn off Autosave. This lets you play around and test new ideas, and your original saved layout will stay perfectly intact.

Your Next Moves

Alright, you've got the basics down. Here's what you can do next to really get comfortable and discover more:

• Add Another Chart: Go ahead and click Select Layout again. This time, pick one of the two-chart views. Seeing two symbols side-by-side is a game-changer for spotting relationships.
• Play with Settings: Try syncing the symbols so they move together, or switch one chart to a different timeframe (like a 4-hour chart next to a 1-day chart). You'll be surprised at the insights you can uncover just by experimenting.
• Save and Share: Found a layout you like? Save it with a clear name you'll remember later. You can even share that layout directly with a friend or trading buddy to get their thoughts.
• Explore More Features: If you find yourself loving the multi-chart view, you might want to check out upgrading your plan. It unlocks the ability to have even more charts on one screen and lets you place trades directly from the platform.
