One of the benefits of diversifying your portfolio is that you can take advantage of the different performance cycles and correlations of different markets and asset classes. For example, stocks tend to perform well during periods of economic growth and expansion, while bonds tend to perform well during periods of economic slowdown and contraction. Similarly, commodities tend to perform well during periods of inflation and supply shocks, while cryptocurrencies tend to perform well during periods of innovation and disruption.

However, to diversify your portfolio effectively, you need to have access to data and charts for different markets and asset classes. This is where TradingView can help you. TradingView is a platform that provides you with data and charts for thousands of assets across various markets and asset classes, such as stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, futures, options, and more.

To access data and charts for different markets and asset classes on TradingView, you can use the search bar at the top of the page. You can type in the name or symbol of the asset you want to view, or you can browse through the categories and subcategories on the left side of the page.

Once you select an asset, you will see its data and chart on the main page. You can customize the chart by changing the time frame, adding indicators, drawing tools, annotations, etc. You can also compare the performance of different assets by adding them to the same chart.
