TradingView's multi-chart layout is a game-changer if you're trying to keep an eye on several things at once. Imagine having up to eight different charts open on one screen, all updating in real-time. It lets you see how different assets—like stocks, forex, or crypto—are moving together or against each other, and how trends look across various timeframes, all without needing to flip back and forth between tabs. This side-by-side view helps you connect the dots and make decisions with more context.

How to Put Multiple Charts on TradingView: A Step-by-Step Guide

Why Set Up Multiple Charts?​

This isn't just about duplicating the same chart. The real power is that each window operates independently. You can have one chart tracking a short-term bounce on a 5-minute graph with one set of indicators, while another focuses on the weekly trend with a completely different toolkit.

Here's how many traders use it to their advantage:

  • Spot Relationships: Watch how assets like Bitcoin and the S&P 500 move in relation to each other to gauge market sentiment.
  • Compare Timeframes: See the short-term noise (e.g., a 15-minute chart) right beside the broader trend (e.g., a 1-hour chart) to understand the full picture.
  • Test Ideas Safely: Experiment with a new strategy or indicator settings on one chart without affecting your main analysis setup.

Supported Plans and Limits​

Want to view multiple charts side-by-side on TradingView? This popular feature is included with every single paid plan, starting right from the most affordable Basic tier.

If you're using the free version, you can still work with multiple charts by opening them in separate browser tabs. It's a handy workaround, but it does mean you'll have to manually sync your chart settings and re-add your favorite technical indicators to each new tab you open. If you're looking to enhance your technical analysis, you might want to explore tools like the Coefficient of Variation Weighted Moving Average Indicator for TradingView Pine Script to get more sophisticated insights.

How to Put Multiple Charts on TradingView​

Ever feel like you need to see more than one chart at a time? Maybe you want to watch Bitcoin and the S&P 500 side-by-side, or compare different timeframes for the same stock. TradingView makes this super easy with its layout feature. Here's how to set it up.

1. Find the Layout Button​

Look at the very top of your TradingView chart, right next to where it says the chart's name (like "Unnamed"). You'll see a button labeled Select Layout. Give that a click.

2. Pick Your Favorite Grid​

A menu will pop down showing you a bunch of different grid options. You can choose anything from a simple 2-chart setup all the way up to 8 charts on one screen. They have layouts with charts side-by-side, stacked on top of each other, and even some with different sizes. Just pick the one that looks best for what you're trying to do.

LayoutBest For
2 Charts Side-by-SideComparing two assets
4 Charts (2x2 Grid)Monitoring a small portfolio
8 ChartsAdvanced, multi-market analysis

3. Load Up Your Charts​

Now you'll see empty chart boxes. Just click inside any one of them and type in the ticker symbol for whatever you want to look at—like "AAPL" for Apple or "EURUSD." Each chart works on its own, so you can add different technical indicators or set a unique timeframe for each one without them interfering with each other.

It's like having multiple monitors, all on one screen. You can even save your multi-chart setup so it's ready to go the next time you log in.

Making Each Chart Your Own​

The best part about having multiple charts is that you can set up each one exactly how you like. Think of each chart as its own little workspace. Here's how you can customize them individually.

CustomizationHow To Do It
Switch Chart TypesClick the chart icon in any window to switch between a candlestick, line, or bar chart.
Adjust the TimeframeUse the timeframe selector (like 5m, 1H, 1D) on each chart to view different periods.
Add Technical IndicatorsOpen the Indicators menu on any panel to add or remove studies like RSI or Moving Averages.

Keeping Your Charts in Sync​

Want all your charts to move together when you change something? It's super easy.

Just click that little chain-link icon at the top of a chart's settings panel. This turns on Symbol Sync or Interval Sync.

Once that's on, changing the stock symbol or the time frame (like from 1 hour to 1 day) on one chart will automatically update all the other panels you've synced. It keeps everything consistent without you having to change each chart one by one.

Saving and Loading Your Favorite Chart Setups​

Ever spend time getting a few charts arranged just right, only to have to do it all over again later? Let's fix that. You can easily save your entire multi-chart workspace and pull it up anytime with a couple of clicks.

Here's how to save your custom layout so it's never lost:

  1. You'll see your current layout is called "Unnamed." Click the down arrow right next to it.
  2. Choose Rename from the menu, give it a clear name you'll remember (like "My Crypto Watchlist" or "Daily Forex Scan"), and hit Enter.
  3. Finally, click Save Layout. A quick pro-tip: you can just press Ctrl+S on your keyboard to do the same thing instantly. Your layout is now safely stored to your profile.

Getting your setup back is just as easy. When you come back later, simply press the . (dot) key on your keyboard, or find your layout's name in the same dropdown menu where you renamed it. Your charts will snap right back into place, ready to go.

Tips for Effective Multi-Chart Analysis​

Trying to watch a dozen charts at once can get overwhelming fast. Here's how to do it effectively without losing your mind.

  • Stick to a Theme: Instead of jumping between unrelated stocks or coins, focus on a specific group. For example, look at a few major currency pairs together, or a handful of tech stocks. This keeps your analysis targeted and stops you from getting distracted by random noise.
  • Zoom In and Out: Don't just stare at one timeframe. Use a longer timeframe, like a daily or weekly chart, to understand the overall trend (the big picture). Then, switch to a shorter one, like an hourly or 15-minute chart, to fine-tune your entry or exit points. This helps you see both the forest and the trees.
  • Keep it Simple: Be honest about how much your screen—and your brain—can handle. There's no prize for having the most charts open. Start with just two or three. It's far better to clearly understand a few charts than to be confused by ten.
  • Use Helpful Tools: Many charting platforms let you add custom indicators that can highlight important information. For instance, some traders add "HashRibbons" to their Bitcoin charts to help gauge market cycles. Think of these as specialized tools that do the heavy lifting for you, making your decision-making process clearer. If you're interested in volume-based analysis, the On-Balance Volume Oscillator: The Volume Indicator That Predicts Price Moves Before They Happen can be particularly insightful for multi-timeframe analysis.

Your TradingView Multi-Chart Questions, Answered​

If you're diving into TradingView and wondering how to make the most of having multiple charts open at once, you've come to the right place. Here are answers to some of the most common questions, broken down simply.

So, do I have to pay to open more than one chart? Yes, you do. The ability to view several charts side-by-side is a feature that comes with a paid subscription. The cheapest plan that includes it is the "Pro" plan.

How many charts can I actually have open at the same time? TradingView lets you open up to eight charts in a single tab. The exact number that works comfortably for you will depend on your specific screen size and which plan you're on.

Can I set up my charts just how I like them and save that view? Absolutely! This is one of the best parts. You can arrange your charts, apply your favorite indicators and drawings, and then save the entire setup as a named layout. It's all stored in your profile, so you can jump right back to your perfect workspace anytime.

What's the easiest way to keep all my charts on the same stock and timeframe? It's super simple. Look for the little chain-link icon at the top of your charts. Clicking this lets you turn on two handy features:

  • Symbol Sync: Makes all charts switch to the same stock or asset when you change one.
  • Interval Sync: Synchronizes the timeframe (like 1-hour or 4-hour) across all your charts.

This keeps everything consistent without you having to update each chart individually.

Your Next Steps with TradingView Multi-Chart Layouts​

Now that you've got the basics down, here are a few ideas to help you get the most out of your new setup. Think of this as a friendly nudge in the right direction.

  • Play around and find your flow. The best part about these layouts is that they're fully customizable. Don't be afraid to spend some time dragging charts around, testing different timeframes side-by-side, and creating a workspace that just feels right for your strategy. Your perfect setup is unique to you.

  • Join the conversation. The TradingView community forums are a goldmine of ideas. Pop in to share a screenshot of your favorite layout or pick up a clever tip from another trader. It's one of the fastest ways to learn and improve.

  • Deepen your knowledge. If you're a visual learner, subscribing to TradingView's official tutorial channel is a smart move. Their video guides can walk you through advanced features and new updates that you might otherwise miss.

  • Connect with others. Consider joining a trading-focused group on social media or Discord. Discussing how others use multiple charts for specific strategies can open your eyes to new techniques and practical use cases you hadn't considered.
