You can quickly compare assets, time frames, or technical setups using a structured split view. The following sections detail each phase, from basic layout to advanced pane management.

Enable Split View Mode on Desktop
Open Chart and Access Layout Menu
Start by opening any chart in your TradingView workspace. Click the layout icon in the top right of the chart toolbar to reveal pane options.
Choose Split View and Arrange Panes
Select split view horizontal or vertical from the layout menu. You can then drag symbols from the watchlist into each new pane to build your comparison setup.
Adjust Split View Settings
Sync Time and Scale Across Panes
Use the sync toolbar to align chart time ranges and price scales. Syncing ensures both panes scroll together, making visual comparisons accurate.
Customize Indicators and Drawing Tools
Add relevant indicators to each pane and configure colors or styles. Keep the technical focus clear by avoiding indicator overload in split screen mode.
Optimize for Multiple Monitors
Extend Charts Across Screens
Drag split view panels to the edge of your primary display. This leverages extra monitor space for a wider, less cluttered trading environment.
Save Your Layout Preset
Name and store your favorite multi pane arrangement. Loading a preset lets you replicate a productive workspace with a single click.
Mobile and Tablet Split View
Switch to Compact Layout
On smaller devices, choose a vertical split layout. This arrangement keeps key charts visible while preserving room for control buttons.
Use Swipe Navigation
Swipe between additional panes or collapse less relevant charts. Maintaining a clean mobile interface helps you stay focused on critical levels.
