Overview

Every trade in EdgeBook can have multiple chart screenshots attached. The Chart Gallery provides a powerful way to view, organize, and navigate your trade documentation.

​
Adding Images

There are several ways to add chart screenshots to a trade:

​
Drag and Drop

Simply drag image files from your desktop or file explorer directly onto:
  • The trade detail view
  • The trade creation modal
  • The main trades area (creates a new trade)

​
Paste from Clipboard

  1. Copy a screenshot to your clipboard (e.g., from TradingView)
  2. Press Ctrl+V / Cmd+V in the trade detail view
  3. The image is automatically added to the gallery

​
File Upload

  1. Click the + Add Image button
  2. Select one or more images from your computer
  3. Images are uploaded and attached to the trade
You can upload multiple images at once by selecting them all in the file picker.

​
Thumbnail Strip

All attached images appear as thumbnails at the bottom of the trade detail view. Click any thumbnail to view it in the main display area.

​
Reordering Images

Drag and drop thumbnails to reorder your images. The first image becomes the trade’s thumbnail in list views.

​
Image Captions

Add captions to your images to describe what each chart shows:
  1. Click the caption area below any image
  2. Type your description
  3. Captions are saved automatically

​
Full-Screen Viewer

Click any image to open it in full-screen mode:

​
Zoom and Pan

  • Scroll wheel - Zoom in/out
  • Click and drag - Pan around zoomed image
  • Double-click - Reset zoom level

​
Image Actions

Each image has a menu with additional actions:
  • Annotate - Open the annotation editor
  • Set as Thumbnail - Make this the trade’s cover image
  • Download - Save the original image
  • Delete - Remove from the trade

​
Supported Formats

EdgeBook supports all common image formats:
  • PNG (recommended for charts)
  • JPEG
  • GIF
  • WebP
For best quality, use PNG format for chart screenshots. JPEG compression can make text and lines less clear.

​
Image Storage

All images are securely stored in Supabase Storage:
  • Private by default - Only you can access your images
  • High resolution - Original quality preserved
  • Fast loading - CDN-backed delivery

​
Best Practices

Include charts from different timeframes (daily, hourly, 5-min) to show the complete picture.
Use your charting platform’s tools to mark support, resistance, and entry/exit levels before screenshotting.
Capture the setup before entry and the outcome after exit to document the complete trade lifecycle.
