SETUP GUIDE

STEP 1 OF 3

First, let's set up your default chart


One of the most important customizations you can make as a StockCharts Member is your default "ChartStyle" – the chart type, period, overlays, indicators and other settings you'll see whenever you pull up a new ticker symbol.

To help you get started, you can select one of the popular pre-built ChartStyles below.

(Don't worry, you can always change the settings of your default ChartStyle in the future)
