Charts Worth Sharing
Every day, thousands of stock charts get posted to Twitter, LinkedIn, newsletters, and client reports. Most of them look like they were screenshotted from a broker app with a phone camera. Pixelated, cluttered, wrong aspect ratio.
We built Chart Studio to fix this. It's a tool for creating clean, professional stock comparison charts and exporting them at the exact resolution each social platform requires.
Here's what it does and how to use it.
Indexed Comparison: The Most Useful Chart You're Not Making
The most powerful feature in Chart Studio is indexed comparison. It normalizes every stock to the same starting point and shows pure percentage change from that baseline.
Why this matters: if you put AAPL ($200) and NVDA ($900) on the same chart, the raw price view is useless — NVDA's line sits four times higher, and you can't tell which stock actually performed better.
Indexed mode solves this. Both stocks start at 0% and the chart shows which one gained or lost more over the period. A chart of the Magnificent 7 indexed over the past year instantly tells you that NVDA outperformed MSFT by 40 points — something that's invisible in a raw price chart.

One-Click Social Media Export
When your chart looks right, click Share and choose your platform:
| Platform | Export Size | Aspect Ratio |
|---|---|---|
| 1080 × 1080 px | Square | |
| X / Twitter | 1200 × 675 px | 16:9 landscape |
| 1200 × 627 px | ~1.91:1 landscape | |
| Current size | As displayed | Responsive |
The export renders at 2× DPI for crisp, high-resolution output on retina displays and mobile screens. The dark theme exports cleanly — no white backgrounds bleeding into dark-mode feeds.
The file downloads directly as a PNG. No watermarks, no "made with" branding. It's your chart.
Shareable Links: Send the Exact Chart
Every chart you build generates a URL that encodes all your settings. Share the link and the recipient sees the identical chart — same stocks, timeframe, chart type, and display toggles.
No account is required to view a shared chart. This makes Chart Studio useful for:
- Newsletter authors linking to interactive charts from email
- Discord/Slack groups sharing analysis with context
- Blog posts embedding live charts that readers can explore
- Client reports where the recipient might want to adjust the timeframe themselves
The URL is the chart. Bookmark it, share it, embed it.

Use Cases
Financial Twitter / FinTwit
Post daily or weekly charts showing sector rotation, earnings surprises, or macro divergences. The indexed comparison mode makes it easy to show "NVDA is up 85% while INTC is down 12% over the same period" in a single image. Export at 1200×675 for the perfect Twitter card.
LinkedIn Thought Leadership
Share quarterly earnings comparisons, macro dashboards, or industry analysis with your professional network. The clean dark theme and 1200×627 export look sharp in the LinkedIn feed without any resizing.
Investment Newsletters
Link to interactive charts that subscribers can explore. Instead of a static screenshot, your readers can change the timeframe, toggle indexed mode, or add their own stocks. The shareable URL keeps the chart live and interactive.
Client Reports and Presentations
Build a portfolio performance chart indexed to a benchmark. Export it at the current size for slide decks, or share the URL so clients can interact with the data on their own.
Research and Analysis
Overlay earnings data with price performance to spot divergences. Compare a company's revenue growth with its peer group. Plot a sector's margin trends against inflation. The combination of fundamental, technical, and economic data in one chart builder makes this possible without switching between platforms.
Discord and Trading Communities
Share a chart URL in your server. Members see the exact chart you built — no screenshots, no compression artifacts. They can adjust it themselves and share back their version.
Example: Salesforce Price vs Revenue
Here's a real chart built in Chart Studio in about 10 seconds:
CRM — Close Price & Revenue (5Y, Dual Axis)
This chart overlays Salesforce's daily closing price (left axis) with its quarterly revenue (right axis, bar chart). Two things jump out immediately:
- Revenue has grown consistently — quarter after quarter, the bars keep stepping higher. CRM went from ~$4B to over $10B in quarterly revenue.
- Price disconnected from fundamentals in 2021–2022 — the stock ran to $300+ while revenue was still at $6–7B/quarter, then crashed back to $130 even as revenue kept growing.
The dual-axis overlay tells a story that neither chart tells alone: the price eventually caught back up to the revenue trajectory, and today's $270+ price is supported by $10B+ in quarterly revenue — a much healthier setup than the $300 price on $6B revenue in 2021.
This took 3 steps to build:
- Search "CRM" → add Close Price (daily line)
- Add CRM Revenue (quarterly bars — auto-detected)
- Chart Studio automatically assigns dual axes since the scales are different
Export it, share the link, or drop it into a newsletter. The chart does the talking.

How to Build a Chart in 30 Seconds
- Go to Chart Studio
- Search for a stock and add it — it appears on the chart immediately
- Add more stocks to compare — each gets its own color
- Toggle "Indexed" to normalize all series to the same baseline
- Pick a timeframe — 3 months, 1 year, 5 years, or set custom dates
- Click Share → choose your platform → download the PNG
That's it. No Pine Script. No account required to view shared charts. No watermarks on exports.
Pro tip: Use custom start and end dates (sd/ed parameters) to focus on specific events — an earnings quarter, a market crash, a Fed rate cycle. The chart URL preserves your exact date window.
