Multiple charts, linking and saved layouts

2 min read

Watching several markets or timeframes side by side is often clearer than flipping between them. AlertaChart has 49 layouts, from two charts next to each other to a grid of 16.

Choosing a layout

Press the layout button at the top of the chart and pick a grid. Layouts are grouped by the number of charts. How many charts you can show at once depends on your plan: 1 on Free, 2 on Starter, 4 on Trader, 8 on Pro and 16 on Elite.

Working with several charts

Click a chart to make it active; the symbol search, timeframe and indicator buttons then apply to that chart. Each chart keeps its own symbol, timeframe, chart type and indicators.

Linking charts

Linking keeps charts moving together:

  • Symbol: change the symbol on one chart and the others follow
  • Timeframe: the same for timeframes
  • Crosshair: moving over one chart shows the same moment on the others
  • Drawings: charts with the same symbol share their drawings

This is ideal for a top-down view, for example the same coin on weekly, daily, 4-hour and 1-hour charts with the crosshair linked.

Saved layouts (Trader and higher)

A saved layout remembers your whole screen: the grid, the symbol and timeframe of each chart, indicators and their settings, the time zone and linking.

  • Save the current screen from the layout menu and give it a name.
  • Switch to another saved layout at any time; your current layout is saved first so nothing is lost.
  • Press Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on Mac) to save quickly.
  • The name of the active layout is shown at the top, and changes are saved automatically every few seconds.

Saved layouts follow your account, so the same set-ups are waiting on your other computer.
