How to upload a TradingView chart image to ChartPilot

To upload a TradingView chart to ChartPilot AI, use TradingView’s camera control to save the chart as an image, open the downloaded file to check it, then choose that file in the ChartPilot analyzer. Inspect the preview and select Analyze chart. The handoff is a saved picture: copying a TradingView page address or snapshot link does not create an image file on your device.

This walkthrough focuses on moving the correct image between the two tools. For access, review current ChartPilot signup options. New accounts require a payment method for a 7-day Premium trial, then renew at $59 USD/month unless canceled before the trial ends. See the current terms; existing free accounts retain their allowance.

1. Save the chart image from TradingView

Start with the TradingView chart and timeframe you want reviewed. Keep the instrument label, recent candles and price scale visible. If several charts are open, identify the intended view before making the snapshot.

TradingView’s official snapshot instructions describe the camera icon at the top of the chart. Open that control and use the option that saves the chart image to your computer. Its other options include copying an image and copying a link; choose the download/save route for this walkthrough.

Find the completed download using your browser’s download list or the destination you selected. Open the image itself. A saved chart layout and a downloaded chart picture serve different purposes: for this upload, you need a file you can view as an image.

Do not assume the newest filename contains the latest view. If you changed the timeframe or moved the chart after exporting, those changes are not in the earlier file. Save another image when the view you intend to review changes.

2. Match the saved file to the source chart

Before switching to ChartPilot, compare three details between TradingView and the downloaded image: the full symbol, the timeframe, and the most recent visible candle. These checks help catch a wrong tab, an older download or an export made before you finished adjusting the view.

For your own records, a descriptive filename can help distinguish several exports. For example, EURUSD-15m-review-A.png is easier to recognize than a series of nearly identical downloads. This is an organizational suggestion, not a required naming convention. The visible chart labels must still identify the instrument; a filename does not repair missing evidence.

Open the file at a readable size and inspect the price labels. If essential details are missing, recapture the source chart. The chart screenshot checklist covers framing and privacy in detail. Here, the key question is whether the file actually contains the view you meant to send.

3. Choose the local image in ChartPilot

After signing in, open the ChartPilot analyzer. In the upload area, select Choose screenshot and choose the saved image from your device. You can also drag the file into the upload area. ChartPilot’s published upload guidance lists JPG, PNG and WebP formats.

Check the preview before submitting. Compare its symbol and timeframe with the file you just opened, then inspect the latest visible candles. If you selected an older download, use Replace screenshot to choose the intended file. Selecting an image and completing an analysis are separate steps.

When the preview is correct, select Analyze chart and follow the progress shown in your workspace. Read any account or upload message before trying again. Repeatedly pressing the action or choosing another file while a request is running is not a useful way to check progress.

When the handoff goes wrong

• You only have a TradingView link. Return to the chart’s snapshot control and save an image. A URL points to something online; it is not the downloaded picture selected by the file chooser.
• You copied an image but cannot find a file. Copying puts content on the clipboard. For the file-based steps above, use TradingView’s save option and locate the resulting download.
• The file chooser does not show the chart. Check the download destination and file type. A webpage or PDF is not one of the listed image formats. Changing its filename extension does not convert its contents into a picture.
• The preview shows a different interval. Compare it with the downloaded image first. If both show the wrong interval, export again from TradingView; if only the preview differs, select the intended file.
• The right chart is too blurry to read. Return to the original chart and capture a clearer image. A successful file selection does not establish that the candles and prices are readable.

These checks separate a file-selection problem from an evidence problem. Fixing the wrong folder or wrong file can solve the first. Restoring missing labels or unreadable prices requires improving the image itself.

A simple check that prevents an outdated upload

Hypothetical example: you download a 15-minute EURUSD chart, switch TradingView to one hour, then decide to review that broader view. Both files might have similar names if you export again. The first image still contains 15-minute candles, even though your current TradingView window shows one hour.

Open the intended download, verify its interval, and compare the analyzer preview with that file. Keep a short capture note beside your review if timing matters. The useful record is which view you submitted, not merely which chart happens to be open afterward.

Check the result against the picture you sent

For readable supported charts, ChartPilot provides a BUY or SELL directional outlook, reference levels and confidence in the visible evidence. Check the identified symbol and timeframe before reading the explanation. Confidence is not a probability of a winning trade, and AI can misread the image.

Keep the source platform available to verify current conditions. A downloaded snapshot stays fixed while the market continues moving; the assessment does not execute an order. For interpreting the response, continue with the full screenshot-analysis walkthrough.

Review current signup options when you have a saved chart ready. Use one final check before submitting: the source view, downloaded file and analyzer preview should all show the instrument and timeframe you intend to review.
