Getting Started with Chart Layouts: Tutorial

This video is about mastering your chart layout so you can save, copy, and rename charts. It's a brief introduction into designing and drawing on charts, including the different ways you can save various layouts and build a process for managing your chart layouts.

The goal of these chart layouts is to help more people master the platform and build a better way to save their work while also remaining organized. A few tips for getting started:

• Click the cloud icon to save a chart instantly (otherwise it saves every 5 minutes)
• Your chart layouts follow you anywhere from desktop to mobile and our desktop app.
• You can save your chart layouts in ways that are unique to you whether it's a specific stock, drawing, design or specific use case.

We hope this video tutorial gets you started and walks you through all the ways you can save chart layouts, manage your work, and save it across desktop and mobile.

Thanks for watching! Please leave any questions or comments below.

Saving charts on TV is a nightmare, i have been using TV for 4 years and I have the premium package. Confusing backgrounds with saving an actual chart with all of your workings are two different things that have been convoluted. Even with autosave off your saved chart is overwritten with a different ticker. For me this is the most important yet overlooked feature of the package. Losing hours of work over and over is frustrating and if this isn't fixed I will move at the earliest opportunity.

hello Sir.
How about when I want to save charts of two forex pairs in which each of them will be locked to different price ratios?
I'm asking this because, I want to easily navigate between the two forex pairs (and don't forget, I want each to be saved in its locked price ratio)

Well it is made clear that we can play with layouts, colors, shapes funny names e.t.c. But what about the working part, for example switching to another layout without the change of symbol and the date range (or the zoom of the screen). I believe there are many more needs like that. Layout system is the weakest thing in Tradingview system.

Who would want to keep the LAYOUT window opened (that cannot be resized or turned into a shortcut bar) all the time for quick access ? Why can't the layout be selected from a drop down right from the first click, say, if you don't click on the cloud upload, drops down a list of all available layouts (or perhaps just the favorites), as opposed to the detour though "load layout" ?

Thanks for the video--very helpful! Two suggestions: Firstly, say I have same ticker on a Quad layout with different indicators like point and figure, Renko, my EW counts and a blank chart for miscellaneous analysis. It would be super helpful to be able maximize each layout and navigate each one with a button click. I thought you already have that, but it is for moving left or right on the chart. This feature is one of my favorites on TDAmeritrade's Thinkorswim platform, and I love it. Secondly, it would be nice to be able to save on data when in maximized mode allowing other inactive layout to go in hibernation. That will go as far in reducing overall live data usage and maximizing your charting experience by capping your computers resource requirements. Thanks for the consideration.

Sir at the end you talk about the fact that this is video 1 of 2. Could you provide the link to video 2 because I can't seem to find it.

I watche this video in hopes that there was a way to set a created chart as a default so when you open Trading View it automatically came up with your preferred chart. Is there any way to do that? Or do you always had to load your preferred chart?

[ebrahob]

thanks for video - I have problem recently as the save button is not appearing in status bar and cloud icon disappeared kindly advice

How do you get the layout tab to reflect the name of the layout rather than the rather unhelpful name of the chart last used within the layout ie in a multichart layout

[crismassif]

how do i recover all my indicator setting i losrt all of them fucking spend a long time setting the, up

[anushavasudevan]

Whenever the saved chart is loaded, all the saved settings and indicators are loaded but the scrip is not loaded from which the layout was saved. ? How can i achieve it

[makeITcount]

how do you differentiate the actual "Chart Layouts" (discussed here) with a very similar function the "Templates" under Chart settings?

[brantgoose]

I have no idea what happened but I had 5 different browser windows with different charts. When I saved my first chart all my windows changed to the same one chart I had just saved. I couldn't get back my old charts.

[RB-hwyg]

The drawing layout is a great feature but one huge downside, I can only add one picture(jpeg), is this something that might be changed in future?

[michaelbast]

To delete a layout has been changed in Q4 2022 so it’s not where they say it is.
Hit “load chart” and there you can delete it.

[robertsmith]

We wish that we could also have that feature placing our order in trading view app on mobile.

[pkgi]

Hint...you can save more than 50 different tickers under one layout !!! How ??? >>> Object library!!!

[adamhunt]

This whole I didn't know this. ahh I actually want to cry. I know everything else, but not this.
