How to Grant TradingView Access, Share Charts Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Sharing a chart with a friend or client on TradingView is different from granting someone access to your actual account, and mixing the two up can create confusion or security risks. This guide covers the correct ways to share charts, publish ideas, and control who can see what.
01Share a chart using a link
TradingView lets you generate a shareable link for your current chart setup so others can view it without logging into your account.
02Publish an idea publicly or privately
Use TradingView's publish feature to post an analysis idea either to the public community or restricted to specific viewers, depending on your privacy needs.
03Understand chart sharing vs account access
Sharing a chart link only shows your setup; it does not give the other person any control over your account, watchlists, or settings.
04Control privacy and visibility settings
Review your sharing and publishing settings to decide whether your charts and ideas are visible to everyone or only people you choose.
05Follow good sharing practices
Avoid sharing sensitive account details, and use published or shared links rather than login credentials when collaborating with others.
Frequently asked questions
Does sharing a chart give someone access to my account?
No, sharing a chart link only shows the chart's current view — it doesn't grant login access or control over your TradingView account.
Can I make a shared chart link private?
Yes, TradingView provides privacy options so shared links or published ideas can be restricted rather than fully public.
How do I share a chart with a mentor for feedback?
Generate a share link for your current chart setup and send it directly, or publish it privately if you don't want it visible to the wider community.
Is there a way to grant someone actual account access?
TradingView doesn't support handing over account login access safely; instead, use chart links or published ideas for collaboration.
