Charts FAQs

What kind of information is found in a Project Page's Charts section? How does this compare to information found in the Chartbooks tool?

The Charts section of a project page can contain a variety of metrics for a given protocol and asset such as those that focus on markets and price performance, address activity and distribution, fees and revenue, and more.

The curated information found in Chartbooks focuses on market activity, trends, and patterns from different verticals such as Network activity, DeFi, Markets, and Fundraising.

If I created TradingView charts while on an active subscription and I cancel that plan, will my saved charts still be there if I resubscribe in the future?

Yes, users' charts will be saved and will reappear when they resubscribe. Users can regain access to their saved charts by resubscribing to a subscription tier that corresponds to their number of saved charts. For example, if a user previously created 15 charts while on an Enterprise plan and then resubscribed to Pro, 10 of their 15 saved charts would become accessible again. All charts would become available again if that user resubscribed to Enterprise.
