How TradingView works in Shift
Adding TradingView to Shift keeps your charts and market research alongside the other tools you use to analyze markets and manage your workflow. Add TradingView to a dedicated Space with your news sources, spreadsheets, notes, broker platforms, or research apps so related information stays organized together.
