SharpCharts Workbench
The SharpCharts Workbench contains all the features you need to create, view, share, modify, and save SharpCharts. The easiest way to access the SharpCharts Workbench is from the Create-a-Chart bar at the top of each page on our website. Change the dropdown menu to SharpChart, enter the ticker symbol you want to chart, and press Enter or click Go.
Cool Tip: If you would like SharpCharts to be the default chart created when you use the Create-a-Chart bar, click the star icon next to SharpChart on this dropdown menu.
You can also access the SharpCharts Workbench from the Charts & Tools menu, the Member Tools area of Your Dashboard, or the Core Tools section of the Charts & Tools page.
And of course, many of the ticker symbols shown in our tools, reports, scan results, articles, and documentation can be clicked to load a chart for that ticker symbol in the SharpCharts Workbench.
Creating and Viewing SharpCharts
The SharpCharts Workbench allows you to closely study the SharpCharts you have created. Use the Inspector tool to view price values for any bar on the chart. The Auto-Refresh feature periodically updates the chart with new data.
Printing and Sharing SharpCharts
Your SharpCharts can be easily shared with others. Use Permalinks to send a chart link, download an image file of a chart, or use our print functionality to create a paper copy.
Modifying SharpCharts in the Workbench
You can customize your SharpCharts to meet your investing needs. StockCharts offers three main types of customization:
Editing individual chart settings.
Using a ChartStyle for quickly configuring a chart.
Adding custom annotations to the chart.
Editing SharpChart Settings
The SharpCharts Workbench allows you to customize your SharpChart settings, including the chart type, period, range, indicators and overlays, color scheme, and more.
Applying ChartStyles to SharpCharts
ChartStyles are collections of chart settings that can be used as “templates” for creating new charts or updating existing charts. A ChartStyle specifies the chart's period, date range, chart type, color scheme, overlays, indicators—everything except the chart's symbol.
ChartStyles can help streamline your chart-creation process if you repeatedly use the same chart settings.
Annotating SharpCharts
Our ChartNotes annotation tool is built right in to the SharpCharts Workbench. You can easily add annotations to your charts, including trendlines, shapes, text, and popular line studies such as Fibonacci retracement levels.
When you annotate a chart and save that chart to a ChartList, all your annotations are saved along with the chart.
Saving Charts in the SharpCharts Workbench
SharpCharts can be saved into ChartLists, online “folders” that allow you to store up to 1000 charts in a single list. ChartLists allow you to group and organize your collections of saved charts for easy access.
