Split View for Screeners, Calendar, and Options

Briefing: Analysis of TradingView’s “Split View” Feature

This video tutorial from TradingView introduces a powerful new “Split View” feature designed to significantly enhance a user’s analytical workflow. The primary function of this feature is to allow users to view and interact with a primary price chart while simultaneously accessing and analyzing other key data tools—such as calendars, screeners, and options data—in a separate, adjustable window [00:00]. This eliminates the previous limitation where tools would overlay and obscure parts of the chart or other information [00:38].

Core Functionality & Reasoning:

The split view is activated by clicking a dedicated icon (a window with an arrow) [00:52] within a tool’s window, which then docks that tool to the side, creating a fully independent and interactive pane. This approach is built on the fundamental reasoning that market analysis is rarely one-dimensional. Traders need to synthesize technical price action with fundamental data, market-wide scans, and derivatives information. This feature facilitates that synthesis directly within one screen.

Key Applications Demonstrated:

1. Calendars (Fundamental Analysis):
   • Technical Application: A user can keep a price chart (e.g., a forex pair like EUR/USD) open while docking the Economic Calendar [02:02]. They can click through upcoming days [01:37] to see high-impact events.
   • Fundamental Reasoning: This allows a trader to monitor technical price patterns in real-time while remaining fully aware of upcoming fundamental catalysts (like economic reports or earnings releases [00:27]) that could cause significant price volatility [03:05]. This integration is crucial for risk management and identifying event-driven trading opportunities.
2. Screeners (Technical & Fundamental Scanning):
   • Technical Application: A user can run a custom screener (e.g., finding stocks with a market cap over $1B and specific gross margins [05:33]) in the split view. The feature allows the user to see a chart view of all results [06:04] and then click any symbol in the screener list to have its full technical chart instantly load in the main chart window [05:01].
   • Fundamental Reasoning: This creates an incredibly efficient workflow for moving from a broad, fundamentals-based scan to a detailed, technical analysis of individual charts. It bridges the gap between identifying what to trade (based on screener filters) and when to trade (based on technical analysis of the resulting charts).
3. Options (Derivatives Analysis):
   • Technical Application: A trader can open the Options Chain for a symbol (e.g., Tesla [07:47]) in the split view while viewing the underlying stock’s chart. They can then identify key strike prices [08:17] and, using the premium, manually draw the breakeven price level directly onto the chart using drawing tools [09:11].
   • Fundamental Reasoning: This provides a direct visual link between the derivatives market and the technical price action. It allows a trader to analyze the “what-if” scenarios posed by options (e.g., “Where does the price need to be for this call to be in the money?”) and compare that to the actual technical behavior of the stock [09:36], aiding in strategy building and risk assessment.

Learning Notes

The new Split View feature represents a significant evolution from a single-pane analysis tool to a dynamic, multi-data-point workstation. The core learning concept is workflow integration. By allowing calendars, screeners, and options tools to exist alongside a primary chart, traders can more effectively build a comprehensive market thesis. This setup encourages the simultaneous analysis of different data types, such as watching an asset’s technical price action while monitoring the fundamental economic events that directly influence it [02:50].

From a technical analysis perspective, the most powerful applications are the Screener and Options integrations. The ability to link a screener’s results directly to the main chart [05:01] transforms the process of scanning the market. Instead of manually typing in dozens of symbols, a trader can create a filter and then visually cycle through the charts of all matching assets, dramatically speeding up the search for viable trade setups. Similarly, mapping options-derived levels (like strike prices and breakevens [09:11]) onto a chart provides tangible price targets and risk levels that are directly informed by the derivatives market.

For fundamental analysis, the Calendar split view [00:32] is a key risk management and opportunity-spotting tool. A forex trader, for example, can watch price action on a 30-minute chart while having a clear view of all upcoming economic announcements for the day [03:05]. This prevents them from being caught off guard by volatility from a news release and allows them to prepare strategies around those specific events. This applies equally to equity traders monitoring earnings [00:22] or dividend calendars.
