How do I bookmark a chart?

Whether you're a StockCharts member or a free user, you can bookmark a chart. This can be useful because it allows you to access your chart and save the charts you create. Follow the steps below to prepare a customized link for your chart. Afterward, you can safely bookmark the chart like any other webpage on your browser.

Step 1. Create a SharpChart that contains the attributes, overlays, and indicators that you want. To learn about how to create SharpCharts, please refer to our SharpCharts documentation.

Step 2. Before you can bookmark a chart to your browser's “favorites” area, you will first need to click “Permalink” below the chart (as indicated with the red arrow in the above image), followed by the “Reload with Link” button in the pop-up window that subsequently appears. Now, you will 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 simply store the original page address instead, you will see our default $INDU chart when you click your bookmark.

Once this is complete, you will able to safely bookmark your chart for easy access from your browser.
