How to View Multiple Charts at Once in TradingView

I remember my early trading days when I had to flip between multiple browser tabs just to track gold on different timeframes. It wasn’t just inefficient — it was dangerous. I missed entries, overreacted to fake signals, and had no clear view of the bigger picture. Then I discovered TradingView’s multi-chart layout feature — and it changed how I analyze markets forever.

In this article, I’ll walk you through how to view multiple charts at once in TradingView, and more importantly, how to use it intelligently as a beginner or intermediate trader. Whether you want to monitor gold across M15, H4, and daily, or compare gold vs. crypto in real time, this guide will help you set up your screen like a pro.

 

Why Viewing Multiple Charts Matters

Trading is a game of context. A perfect entry on the 15-minute chart might be a terrible idea if the daily trend is bearish. Similarly, a strong signal on gold might lose significance if crypto is crashing and dragging everything with it.

Viewing multiple charts side-by-side allows you to:

•         Align multiple timeframes for better confirmation

•         Compare correlated or competing assets (e.g., XAUUSD vs BTCUSD)

•         Observe different strategies or indicators across setups

•         Keep emotional bias in check by seeing the full market picture

If you're using copy trading or automated strategies, it also gives you a clearer view of what your bot or signal provider is reacting to — which builds trust and helps you learn.

 

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Multiple Charts in TradingView

To access multiple charts in TradingView, you need a Pro, Pro+ or Premium account. The free version only supports one chart per tab.

Here’s how I usually guide my junior traders when they ask how to set this up:

1. Open a new chart layout.

Go to the top-left corner, click on the "Chart Layout" icon, and choose "New Layout."

 

2. Select your desired grid layout.

In the upper-right corner of the chart window, there’s a square grid icon (looks like a 2x2 window). Click it, and you’ll see options for 2, 4, 6, or even 8 charts in one view.

 

3. Assign a different chart to each window.

In each sub-window, you can search and load different assets or the same asset with different timeframes. For example:

• XAUUSD on 1-hour chart

• XAUUSD on the daily chart

• BTCUSD for market comparison

• US Dollar Index (DXY) for macro view

 

4. Sync your charts (optional).

TradingView allows you to sync timeframes, crosshairs, or even drawings between the charts. Use this feature only if your charts are of the same asset, so that you don’t get confused by irrelevant syncing.

 

5. Save your layout.

Once everything is set, click “Save” and name your layout — e.g., "Gold Strategy View" or "Cross-Asset Monitor."

This setup may sound simple, but it creates a foundation for smarter decision-making, especially if you're managing more than one signal or asset type.

 

Practical Uses for Multi-Chart Layouts

This isn’t just about aesthetics or convenience. Here’s how I use multi-chart views to guide real trades:

When trading gold manually, I always keep a 3-chart view open:

•         Left: Daily chart with trendlines and zones

•         Center: 4H chart for signal setups (candlestick patterns, RSI)

•         Right: 15M chart for precision entries

If I’m running a bot on MT5 while monitoring the same asset on TradingView, I keep two charts: one showing the bot’s time frame, and another showing the longer-term context, so I know if the bot’s decisions align with macro direction.

And if I’m comparing gold and crypto signals from different providers? I place both charts side-by-side and observe how each market reacts to common events like Fed speeches or NFP.

This visual clarity reduces errors, increases confidence, and — over time — trains your eyes to spot stronger patterns.

 

Going Beyond: Using Charts to Understand Growth and Strategy Performance

Multi-chart views aren’t limited to live price action. Many of my advanced students use them to compare equity curves, backtest results, and simulated returns across strategies.

Let’s say you want to understand how different monthly returns affect your long-term growth. Instead of just imagining it, you can simulate compound performance and track it visually like a chart.

Platforms like SMARTT provide a simulation tool where you can test what would happen if you gained 5%, 7%, or 10% per month over time. It shows the power of compound growth and helps you realistically manage expectations before copying a trader or launching an EA.

Final Thoughts

Being a good trader isn’t about making one great call. It’s about staying consistent, seeing the whole picture, and minimizing blind spots. Viewing multiple charts at once in TradingView is one of those habits that separates disciplined traders from reactive ones.

If you're serious about improving your analysis — or if you want to monitor multiple strategies (manual or automated) — investing time in your chart layout pays off tenfold.

Whether you’re tracking your SMARTT signals, watching gold and crypto side-by-side, or simply aligning your timeframes, TradingView’s multi-chart feature turns your screen into a true command center for smarter decisions.
