Exporting TradingView Charts & Publishing Trade Ideas Properly

TradingView chart export and idea publishing illustration

Review notes, group discussion, public posting — all need "get the chart out." Three tiers, use what fits.

Three ways to export

  1. Quick capture (Alt+S): a shareable image and link, for chats and social;
  2. High-res image export: download a high-resolution PNG for articles and slides — frame the composition first, what you see is what you get;
  3. Interactive chart link: opens a live, zoomable chart with your drawings and indicators, better for deep discussion.

Publishing an idea

Put symbol, direction and timeframe in the title; cover three things in the body: entry logic, invalidation, and the risk level. Once published, the chart is snapshotted and later price action overlays on it — the most honest review tool there is, right or wrong.

Habit: before export, hide unrelated drawings and keep only the structure supporting the idea; when an idea is wrong, don't delete the post — add an update on why it failed. That habit is worth more than any technique. Desktop capture renders locally, so large exports are faster and steadier.
