What the chart tab is
A full TradingView widget embedded inside the stock page. Same charting engine you'd see on tradingview.com or in a brokerage terminal. It loads with sensible defaults — daily candles, the symbol pre-selected — and you take it from there.
The five things to know if you're new
1. Timeframe
Top-left of the chart. Default is 1D (daily candles). For shorter-term analysis switch to 1H, 15m, 5m, or 1m. For longer-term switch to 1W or 1M. The chart auto-rescales when you change timeframe.
2. Indicators
Top-bar fx icon. Searchable list of every standard indicator: RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, EMAs, SMAs, Volume, VWAP, Ichimoku. Click to add it to the chart; it appears either overlaid on the price (e.g. moving averages) or in a sub-pane below (e.g. RSI).
Common starter setup: RSI (14), MACD (12,26,9), Volume bars, and SMA-50 and SMA-200 overlays.
3. Drawing tools
Left-side toolbar. Trend lines, horizontal levels, Fibonacci retracements, channels. Useful for marking support/resistance or measuring retracements. Drawings persist on the symbol you drew them on — go back tomorrow and they're still there.
4. Chart type
Default is candles. Other options: bars, Heikin Ashi (smoothed candles), area, line. Most users stay on candles.
5. Compare
Add another symbol overlaid on the chart for relative-performance comparisons. Useful for "how did this stock do vs Nifty over the last year?"-type questions. Click the + icon next to the symbol name in the top-left.
When you'd switch from Overview to Chart
- You want to see when a move happened (the heat grid only tells you what the cumulative return is)
- You want to draw your own support and resistance
- You want intraday or weekly views
- You want to compare against an index or peer
When the chart doesn't help
For fundamental analysis — financials, ratios, peer comparison — the chart is the wrong tool. Use the Fundamentals, Financials, and Peers tabs instead.
