**Step 2.** Click "Permalink" below the chart (red arrow in the above image).

**Step 3.** Click the "Reload with Link" button in the pop-up window that subsequently appears. 

You will now have a detailed description of your chart stored in our database. The page will be reloaded with a slightly altered web address, now containing a "P number" (e.g. "P123456"). Web addresses with P numbers can be bookmarked safely. If you forget this step and store the original page address instead, you will see our default $INDU chart when you click your bookmark.

Once complete, you can safely bookmark your chart for easy access from your browser.
