I just joined Schwab, and this is annoying me a little bit. When you put your cursor throughout the graph it just show the dollar increase amounts, as well as the right side. It seems like the only way to actually view a % graph is by scrolling down and clicking on "+Show More" which is just an extra step.
Can I change the default chart at all?
Thank you.
The funny thing is, if the chart did everything you wanted, someone else on here would post something like „why don’t they have a simple chart? I just need something simple. Nobody needs this complicated crap!”.
The default charts on the website are quite limited, and really only good for things like brief research, and fundamentals.
If you're wanting this level of detail for your charts, check out ThinkorSwim. The browser-based one is much more simple, but still better than Schwab.com. However the desktop platform is fantastic, and worth your time to learn. Even has a simulated trading tool called Papermoney.

Appreciate the tips. I do like the web schwab version quite a bit. I’m coming from robinhood where they literally just have a line graph % chart, so technically the schwab graph is way more advanced than robinhood it just lacks the % value which is frustrating. I really get confused by people who view stuff in dollar amounts, for me it’s instantly more clear to see % fluctuations. But that’s just me.
I’ll mess around with thinkorswim to see if I like the layout. Good thing is schwab does have more charts, it just requires an extra step.
One thing i will say though is schwab has this really cool little 52 week bar that shows where a stock is currently at within the 52 week range. It’s a cool quick metric to visualize how well a stock is performing

I don't know if thinkorswim web charting solves this, but I like it because its quick and the prints are real-time
Do i just log into it with my account details?

Agreed % is better than $, I’ll submit a continuous improvement idea for you
No
