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.
