TradingView Multi-Monitor Layout: A Chart on Every Screen
Multi-monitor support is the hardest difference between desktop and web: the web fakes it with several browser windows, while the desktop tear-off is native — windows stay linked and the layout saves as a set.
Tearing off windows
- On any chart tab use split to a new window (since 3.0); the chart becomes an independent OS window;
- Drag it to the target display and maximize;
- Repeat for watchlists and the screener — panels can be torn off too;
- In window settings, lock to display so each window returns to its own screen after a restart instead of piling onto the main one.
Linking across windows
Give several windows the same link group (a color tag); change the symbol in any one and the group follows. A typical three-screen setup:
- Screen 1: main chart + trading panel (execution);
- Screen 2: a 4-chart multi-timeframe layout (analysis);
- Screen 3: watchlist + screener + alert log (scanning).
Saving the whole workspace
Window positions, sizes and link relationships are remembered by the app; chart contents ride the layout system. Save a named layout for the multi-screen setup (e.g. "3-screen swing"), switch to a single-screen layout on a laptop, and restore in one click back at your desk.
Performance tip: the more screens, the more GPU acceleration helps. Details on spreading the render load are in the performance guide.
