The ChartSkip widget — always on top of your screen
Backtesting 100 days? That's 40 minutes of clicking through TradingView's date picker per strategy.
Every time you open the date picker your analytical focus resets. You're doing admin instead of reading charts.
Trading Asia, London and NY means three date picker trips per day, every day, for every strategy you test.
How it works
FOUR STEPS.
THEN NEVER AGAIN.
Set it up once. Use it every backtesting session from then on.
Download and install ChartSkip
After subscribing you get a download link. Open the app and grant Accessibility permission when prompted so ChartSkip can click TradingView for you.
Configure your sessions
Choose one to three sessions, set the name and time for each, and save. Asia at 02:00, London at 08:00, NY at 13:00, or any times you trade.
Press Begin on TradingView
Click Begin, pick your start date, and choose your first session. ChartSkip finds Replay and Select Date automatically.
Click a session button to skip
Each button shows the exact date it will jump to. Click it and ChartSkip handles the date picker in the background.
Features
BUILT FOR
SERIOUS BACKTESTING.
Up to 3 custom sessions
Configure Asia, London and NY, or any sessions you trade. Each gets its own button with a custom name and time.
Smart next-occurrence logic
ChartSkip always finds the next occurrence of each session after your last jump. Same day if it hasn't passed, next trading day if it has.
Date shown before you click
Every session button shows the exact date it will jump to above the session name, so you know where you are going before you click.
Always on top
The ChartSkip widget floats above every window, including full-screen TradingView. Always visible, always ready.
Weekend-aware
ChartSkip automatically skips Saturday and Sunday when calculating the next trading day.
Your charts stay private
ChartSkip only interacts with TradingView's visible controls. It never reads, stores, or transmits anything from your charts, strategies, or account.
Mac and Windows
One subscription covers both platforms. Use it on your Mac at home and your Windows trading PC at the same time.
Fully customisable
Name your sessions anything you want and change times whenever you need from the settings panel.
Works on any instrument
EURUSD, NQ, XAUUSD, BTCUSD, US30. If it works in TradingView Replay, ChartSkip works with it.
"I backtest 6 hours a day across Asia and London sessions. This saves me 20+ minutes every single session."
"The three session buttons are exactly what I needed. Two clicks and I am there. The date label on each button is a nice touch."
"Was sceptical at first. But it just works. Finds the Select Date button on its own, fills everything in, done."
