Hello @yogesh86k

Your current layout size has exceeded the 5MB limit. You can create a fresh new layout from the Settings panel on top, and start adding your drawings there.

Let me know if this helps!

Hi Hardik,
below my Queries-

1- How would I know the data size in each layout? Means 5Mb completed or not where from I get to know this?

2- If I saved 4 Layout and mark my drawings and markings in First layout and then open 2nd layout, whether the markings saved on layout 1 will be appear in 2nd or any other layout?

I talked to customer care team she said that you lock drawing tools every time and you said Max data limit 5mb per layout, which one’s answer is correct and which solution I should follow.

Can you please suggest a permanent solution on that because marking/ drawings again and again is not easy task it takes whole days or couple of days.

Thanks,
Yogesh Kumar Singh

@Hardik Please respond, I am still facing the issue.

Hello @yogesh86k

On first one, currently, there’s no indicator which tells you about the size of your layout. We will try and include this on the product.

On second one, no. If you save some particular drawings in 1 layout, then the same will not be visible in the second one, when you switch layouts.

You can keep different layouts for different category of instruments or timeframe, as per your convenience.


Can it help anyhow, This is zerodha screenshot they mentioned the probable reason to delete the drawings from tradingview, they mention that data is saved in cache memory of browser, if we don’t clear the cache memory it will not delete. what you think on it.

Hello @yogesh86k

We store all your drawings and layouts directly on cloud, so that you get same charts on any Dhan platform, wherever you login, irrespective of device or browser. We do not store any of your settings on cache as well, to eliminate the situation where browser cache is deleted.

5 MB is large enough for your layouts on multiple charts across timeframes and indicators. And you can create multiple layouts to ensure the size remains less than the maximum file size.

@Hardik @PravinJ

There is no proper solution you given.

Un-satisfied, how would I know 5MB completed or not ? If I try to mark drawings on different layouts then also will face problem that drawings will not visible on another layout then I need to change layouts frequently to see the markings.

no proper solution from your side I am very tired and frustrated with problem with dhan charts with different issues,Now I am going to change broker.

Thanks you Bye bye Dhan.

Hello @yogesh86k

I understand your points. As mentioned, we will definitely look to include an indicator which says that the 5 MB limit has been reached.

Layouts on any TV charts work in this way, wherein drawings saved on one is not visible on the other one. This is the whole concept behind layouts.

If you want, we can arrange a call and discuss this with you. It would be helpful for us to have your feedback in any possible way.

Hi @Hardik

Please arrange a call back to understand the things and solution.

Thanks,
Yogesh

Did anything change you can’t hold people back to analyse the market welcome to the worl wide web Xd

Actually just let them manage your cookies and stop from delelting cache I think that’s the solution I’m trying it yk

What nonsense 5 mb is very very little ,After 5 mb full , delete Dhan account

Hello @Milan_Kumar

5MB is not little. It actually saves a lot of drawing tools and indicator preferences along with all your multi layout settings. You can go and create a new blank layout from user settings with ease.

In case there is a issue you are facing, feel free to highlight the same.


Keep your 5mb with you, privide option for local save as upstox provided to save unlimited

A bit rude, don’t you think? Dhan was one of the first brokerages to implement a cloud based solution for saving drawings.

As said earlier, you can segregate your timeframes and strategies into different layouts.

Unless you are writing essays on all the stocks charts, 5MB is still huge. It’s like saving trendlines and support & resistance levels for 500+ stocks.

I only draw Rectangle on 4 layout chart as it is basic requirement of GTF Trader If you want i can share my id . it goes to limit within 20 days. Segregation of timeframes and strategies into different layouts will not help GTF Trader.Pls provide local save as in UPSTOX for better experience

Sir, pls provide option for local save as soon as possible, i m unable to do analysis as previous in new layout there is nothing history. I have attached Upstox screenshot they did it

Hello @Milan_Kumar

I understand that you’re reaching layout limits faster than expected. While we impose certain limits to ensure optimal performance for reading layouts and loading charts, we’ve designed them to be large enough to accommodate multiple layouts, indicators, and drawings across different instruments.

Regarding local storage, while it is technically possible, it comes with several risks. If stored in your browser memory, clearing the cache or reinstalling the browser could result in data loss. Saving it under system files also poses risks, as OS upgrades or other applications might corrupt the data. Additionally, retrieving and managing stored data across different operating systems can introduce further challenges.

The key advantage of cloud storage is its flexibility—it allows you to access your layouts seamlessly across devices, products, and platforms while keeping them in sync. While local storage might reduce cloud costs, it would increase complexity and potential data loss for users.

On Dhan, we’ve ensured there are no restrictions on the number of layouts you can create, allowing you to save as many drawings as needed directly on the charts. That said, we’ll continue evaluating better ways to help you manage and save your layouts more efficiently.

Only problem in cloud is that we have limitation of 5MB for each layouts after that only way is that to create new layout which will not show previous done analysis thats why I prefer local save , Or Is it not possible to increase it up to 5 Gb with paid/ charge
