Chartbooks and layouts

A chartbook is your saved Terminal layout — which charts are open, how panels are arranged, and what instrument and timeframe each panel shows.

Chartnaut remembers your chartbook so you can return to the same workspace tomorrow without rebuilding it.

What a chartbook holds

  • One or more chart panels (single chart or multi-panel mosaic)

  • Instrument and timeframe per panel

  • Panel sizes and arrangement

  • Indicators and drawings tied to each chart (where the product persists them)

Switch chartbooks when you change strategies, sessions, or screen setups.

Create or switch a chartbook

  1. Open Trading → Terminal

  2. Open the chartbook menu (user / chartbook control in the top area)

  3. Create a new chartbook and name it — for example "ES scalping" or "London open"

  4. Or switch to an existing chartbook from the list

Your active chartbook stays selected until you change it.

Multi-panel layouts

Add panels when you want more than one chart visible:

  1. Use the layout controls to split the workspace

  2. Set a different instrument or timeframe on each panel

  3. Resize panels by dragging dividers

Useful patterns: higher timeframe for context, lower for entries; correlated instruments side by side; one panel for DOM or depth if you use it.

What persists

Chartnaut saves chartbook structure and panel settings to your account. When you log back in, your last chartbook reloads.

Some session-specific state (Replay position in time, live account picker) resets when you change mode or session — your layout shell remains.

Tips

  • Name chartbooks after the job — "ORB practice", "Live NQ", "Journal review"

  • Keep a dedicated Replay chartbook separate from Real-time if you use different instruments

  • One thoughtful layout beats ten half-finished ones

Important distinctions

A chartbook is a layout workspace. A session (Backtest or playbook practice) is the historical run you trade inside Replay — you pick the session separately.

Changing chartbooks does not change your broker connection or Replay session.
