How to share charts in view-only mode

You can share your charts in different ways on TradingView. You can publish an idea, you can make and share a snapshot as a picture, you can click the icon to share your chart in chat.

Another, less known feature is sharing your chart easily while keeping the interactivity and allowing your setup to be easily copied. It shows the chart the exact same way you see it, and all you need to do is copy the link from the address bar and provide it to the person you want to share it with. 

How to set it up

Sharing charts in view-only mode is done on a per-chart layout basis.  To enable it:

1. Click the arrow up to the right of the Chart Layout.
2. In the menu that appears, toggle Sharing to enable it.
   
   
3. Copy the URL from the address bar and share it.

That's it, simple as that. The person you shared the chart with will see your chart in view-only mode, and example is here.

Note that the person who has the link can select copy and save the layout as his own. You can try it yourself with the example above.
