Our Multi-Chart Layout (also known as “Grid”) is designed to enhance your market analysis and strategy comparison. This powerful feature enables you to view multiple charts simultaneously, offering a comprehensive perspective of the markets at a glance.

Whether you're tracking different securities, analyzing various time frames, or applying multiple strategies, the Multi-Chart layout is your command center for a detailed and efficient analysis.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the functionalities available in the Multi-Chart dropdown menu, helping you to customize your charting experience and maximize your analytical capabilities:

Grid

By clicking on the 'Grid' dropdown menu from the Chart Menu Bar, you can choose from a variety of grid templates for displaying multiple charts simultaneously. Each template represents a different layout for organizing charts on your screen, allowing you to compare different stocks, time frames, or strategies side by side:

Templates

A collection of predefined grid layouts is available for quick selection. These range from simple three-chart setups to complex grids that display up to sixteen charts at once. Select a template that matches the number of charts you want to view and the comparison style you prefer.

By clicking on one of the charts, you’ll see it’ll become highlighted with a blue outline. That’s how you know that’s the chart you’ve selected and that will reflect any changes you make to it:

Sync Settings

Enhance your analysis by synchronizing various settings across all charts in your selected grid.

Each of these settings can be independently toggled to suit your analysis needs, providing flexibility in how you compare and contrast different information.

A Note on Backtesting with Multi-Chart

As you delve into the multi-dimensional analysis with our Multi-Chart feature, it's essential to understand the interaction with our Smart Studies (backtesting) capabilities.

Each chart within your grid operates as an independent backtesting workspace. This means that as you switch between charts, the backtest you've set up or the strategy you're analyzing won't automatically carry over to the next chart.

This might initially cause some confusion — a backtest that was visible on one chart might seem to disappear when you select another chart. However, rest assured, your strategy isn't gone; it's simply contained within the chart where it was originally set up. This design allows you to maintain different strategies or backtests across multiple charts without interference, providing a more organized and focused trading analysis experience.

When you click on a specific chart, it brings that chart's individual settings, indicators, and backtests to the forefront, while the others remain in the background, holding their unique configurations intact. This ensures that each chart remains a distinct analytical environment, allowing for precise and isolated strategy testing.
