Trading is all about having the right information at your fingertips, and often, that means more information. Trying to analyze a stock, an ETF, or even a cryptocurrency with just a single chart can feel like trying to understand a whole conversation by only hearing one word. That's where the power of viewing multiple charts on Webull comes in! It allows you to gain a much deeper understanding of market dynamics, compare different assets, and validate your trading ideas across various timeframes.
So, are you ready to unlock the full potential of Webull's charting capabilities and level up your trading game? Let's dive in!
Step 1: Accessing the Multi-Chart Layout on Webull Desktop
The most robust multi-chart experience on Webull is found on their desktop application. While the mobile app offers some multi-chart viewing, the desktop version truly shines for serious analysis.
1.1 Launch Webull Desktop: First things first, ensure you have the Webull desktop application installed and open. If you don't have it, you can download it from the official Webull website. Log in to your account.
1.2 Navigate to the "Charts" Section: On the left-hand side navigation bar of the Webull desktop platform, you'll see various icons. Look for the chart icon (it often looks like a line graph). Click on this to open the main charting interface.
1.3 Locate the Layout Selector: Once you're in the charting section, observe the top or bottom of the chart area. You should see a set of icons that control the chart layout. One of these will typically represent a grid or multiple squares. This is your multi-chart layout selector.
Pro Tip: If you're having trouble finding it, sometimes hovering over icons will display their function. Look for something that says "Layout," "Multi-Charts," or similar.

Step 2: Choosing Your Desired Chart Layout
Webull offers a variety of pre-defined multi-chart layouts to get you started. These layouts cater to different analytical needs.
QuickTip: Read section by section for better flow.
2.1 Explore Pre-set Layouts: Click on the multi-chart layout selector. A dropdown menu or a pop-up window will appear, displaying various grid options. You'll typically see options like:
2x1 (Two charts, side-by-side): Great for comparing two different stocks or viewing one stock on two different timeframes.
2x2 (Four charts in a square grid): Ideal for more in-depth analysis, allowing you to track multiple assets or multiple timeframes for a single asset.
3x1, 3x2, etc.: Webull often provides even more extensive layouts for those with larger monitors and a need for even more visual data.
2.2 Select a Layout that Fits Your Needs: Consider what you want to achieve. Are you comparing two specific stocks? Do you want to see a stock on daily, weekly, and monthly timeframes simultaneously? Choose the layout that best supports your analytical goals.
Step 3: Populating Your Charts with Tickers and Timeframes
Now that you have your grid, it's time to fill it with the data you want to analyze.
3.1 Adding Tickers to Each Chart:
Within each individual chart panel in your chosen layout, you'll see a section to enter a ticker symbol.
Click on this input field and type in the ticker of the stock, ETF, or cryptocurrency you want to view.
Press Enter or click outside the field, and the chart will load for that asset.
Repeat this process for each chart in your layout.
3.2 Adjusting Timeframes for Each Chart:
Each chart panel will also have its own timeframe selector. This is crucial for multi-timeframe analysis.
Click on the current timeframe displayed (e.g., "1D" for one day, "1M" for one month).
A menu will appear with various options like 1-minute, 5-minute, 1-hour, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.
Select the desired timeframe for each individual chart. For instance, you might have one chart set to a 5-minute interval, another to a 1-hour, and a third to a daily view of the same stock.
Example Scenario: Imagine you're analyzing Apple (AAPL). You could set up a 2x2 layout:
Top-left: AAPL, 5-minute chart (for short-term entry/exit points)
Top-right: AAPL, 1-hour chart (for intraday trends)
Bottom-left: AAPL, Daily chart (for overall trend and major support/resistance)
Bottom-right: MSFT, Daily chart (to compare Apple's performance against a peer)
Step 4: Customizing Individual Charts within the Layout
The beauty of Webull's multi-chart system lies in its ability to customize each chart independently.
4.1 Adding Technical Indicators:
Within each chart panel, look for the indicator icon (often a small 'f' or a set of overlapping lines).
Click on it, and a list of available technical indicators will appear. Webull offers 60+ indicators like Moving Averages (MAs), Relative Strength Index (RSI), MACD, Bollinger Bands, etc.
Select the indicators you want to apply to that specific chart. You can add multiple indicators to a single chart.
You might apply different indicators to different charts based on your analytical focus. For example, a shorter-term chart might benefit from volume and momentum indicators, while a longer-term chart might focus on trend-following indicators.
4.2 Utilizing Drawing Tools:
To the left or right of each chart, you'll find a toolbar with drawing tools. These include trendlines, Fibonacci retracements, horizontal lines (for support/resistance), rectangles, etc.
Select a tool and draw directly on the chart. This is incredibly useful for marking key levels, identifying patterns, and visualizing your analysis.
4.3 Changing Chart Types:
Webull allows you to change the chart type for each individual panel. The default is usually Candlestick.
Look for an icon that represents different chart types (e.g., a candlestick icon). Click it to choose from options like:
Candlestick
Line Chart
Bar Chart
Heikin Ashi (a great option for trend visualization)
Experiment with different chart types to see which best highlights the information you need for a particular timeframe or analysis.
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
Step 5: Arranging and Resizing Your Charts
Webull's interface is designed for flexibility, allowing you to optimize your workspace.
5.1 Drag and Drop Functionality:
Most multi-chart layouts on Webull allow you to drag and drop individual chart panels to rearrange their positions within the grid. This is useful if you want a particular chart in a more prominent spot.
5.2 Resizing Panels:
You can typically click and drag the borders between chart panels to resize them. This allows you to allocate more screen real estate to a chart that requires more detailed viewing, like a short-term intraday chart.
Maximize your most important charts while keeping others visible for context.
Step 6: Saving and Loading Custom Layouts
Once you've spent time creating the perfect multi-chart setup, you won't want to lose it! Webull allows you to save your custom layouts.
6.1 Locate the Save Layout Option: Somewhere near the layout selector or within a "Settings" menu for the charting section, you'll find an option to save your current layout. This might be an icon that looks like a floppy disk or "Save As."
6.2 Name Your Layout: When prompted, give your layout a descriptive name (e.g., "Day Trading Layout," "Long-Term Analysis," "Sector Comparison").
6.3 Load Saved Layouts: In the future, when you want to use this specific multi-chart configuration, you can simply select your saved layout from the list, and all your chosen tickers, timeframes, and indicators will instantly load. This saves a significant amount of time!
Step 7: Linking Charts (Optional but Powerful)
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.
For even more dynamic analysis, Webull offers a "linking" feature that synchronizes certain aspects across charts.
7.1 Understanding Linked Charts: When charts are linked, changing the ticker on one linked chart will automatically change the ticker on all other linked charts. This is incredibly useful if you're analyzing a single asset across multiple timeframes.
7.2 How to Link Charts: Look for a chain-link icon on each individual chart panel or near the layout options. Clicking this icon will typically assign a "group" to the chart (e.g., Group 1, Group 2). All charts assigned to the same group will be linked.
7.3 Experiment with Linking: You can link all charts in a layout, or only a subset. Consider linking charts that are analyzing the same asset but on different timeframes. This way, if you want to switch from Apple to Microsoft, all your linked charts will update simultaneously.
By following these steps, you'll transform your Webull charting experience from a single window to a powerful, multi-dimensional analytical hub. Remember, practice makes perfect, so spend some time experimenting with different layouts and settings to find what works best for your trading style.
