# Compare / Add Symbol

Use this feature to compare tokens like **BTC/USDC**, **ETH/USDC**, and **BNB/USDC** while trading perps on XTrade. It helps you spot trends, correlations, and which asset is outperforming all from a single chart.

## <mark style="color:green;">**How to Use Compare**</mark>

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### **Open any perp token’s chart**

<mark style="color:$info;">Navigate to the chart view of the token you already have selected</mark>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### C**lick the Compare / Add Symbol icon**

<mark style="color:$info;">You’ll find this in the top left of the chart (look for the “+”)</mark>

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### S**earch for another token to overlay**

<mark style="color:$info;">Type another perp pair and select it. You’ll see display options like:</mark>

* <mark style="color:green;">**Same % scale:**</mark> <mark style="color:$info;">Normalize both pairs to compare relative percentage movements</mark>
* <mark style="color:green;">**New price scale:**</mark> <mark style="color:$info;">View them with their actual prices but on separate vertical axes</mark>
* <mark style="color:green;">**New pane:**</mark> <mark style="color:$info;">Show the second chart in a separate pane below</mark>

{% hint style="success" %}
Use “**Same % scale**” if you want to compare relative gains/losses regardless of price
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### R**ead the chart in % mode**

<mark style="color:$info;">By default, the vertical axis switches to percentage scale. This makes it easier to compare relative performance like which token gained more over the past 1h, 4h, or 1D</mark>

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### R**emove or swap symbols anytime**

<mark style="color:$info;">To stop comparing, deselect the symbol. You can add a different one or go back to single-symbol view</mark>
