Compare Assets Performance

The Compare Assets Performance tool is a free multi-asset chart that lets you visualize the relative price performance of stocks, ETFs, indices, cryptocurrencies, and forex pairs on a single chart. All series are normalized to a shared 0% baseline at the left edge of the visible window, so you can instantly see which asset gained or lost the most over any selected period — without being distorted by differences in nominal price levels.

Each asset is rebased to 0% at the first visible data point on the left of the chart. When you zoom in or change the date range, the baselines automatically recalculate so every line always starts from the same point. A value of +20% means that asset is up 20% from the start of the selected window; -10% means it is down 10%. This makes it easy to compare relative returns across assets with very different price levels, such as a $5 stock versus a $50,000 Bitcoin.

You can compare any combination of stocks, ETFs, stock market indices (S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, etc.), cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of altcoins), forex currency pairs, and commodities. Simply search by ticker symbol or asset name in the lookup field and add as many assets as you need to the chart.

Type a ticker symbol or asset name in the search input at the top of the tool and select the matching result to add it to the chart. To remove an asset, click the × button on its tag below the input. You can also click any asset tag to promote it to the primary series, which controls the candle/line chart type toggle.

Use the 1M, 6M, 1Y, and 5Y shortcut buttons above the chart to jump to predefined ranges. You can also pinch-zoom or scroll directly on the chart, or drag to pan across longer historical periods. All relative baselines recalculate automatically whenever the visible window changes.

Yes. The primary asset (highlighted in blue in the tag list) can be displayed as either a line chart or a candlestick chart. Use the chart type toggle button in the toolbar. Comparison assets are always shown as lines to keep the chart readable when multiple assets are overlaid.

The chart supports daily (1D), weekly (1W), and monthly (1M) data intervals. Click the interval button in the toolbar to cycle through them. Daily data is best for short-term comparisons; weekly and monthly intervals smooth out noise and are better suited for multi-year trend analysis.

The chart opens with three default assets: S&P 500 (GSPC), Bitcoin (BTC-USD), and Apple (AAPL). These represent a broad market index, the leading cryptocurrency, and one of the world's most traded stocks — giving you a useful baseline for comparing any new asset you add.

You can save the chart as a PNG image using the camera icon in the toolbar, which captures the current view at high resolution. Price data for the primary asset can also be exported to CSV via the export button, making it easy to run further analysis in a spreadsheet.

A standard price overlay shows absolute prices on a shared y-axis, which makes comparisons misleading when assets trade at very different price levels. This tool uses a percentage-based relative scale so every asset starts at the same point. It is similar to the performance comparison view offered by Bloomberg or TradingView, but available for free with support for crypto, ETFs, and indices alongside stocks.

Yes, the core comparison chart is completely free. You can add multiple assets, switch date ranges, change chart types, and save images at no cost. Some advanced features such as CSV data export require an Investorean Pro subscription.
