BASIC MANUAL ON WORKING WITH INDICATORS

17 ноября

ADDING, UPDATING, MANAGING

Adding an indicator to your chart is very easy. You need to go to your chart, open the "Indicators" tab (1), then go to the "Scripts with limited access" section (2) and click once on the indicator you need (3). After that the indicator will appear on your chart (it may take up to 30 seconds)

If you don't see the indicator in the list, but access is definitely granted - refresh the browser/application page and the indicator will immediately appear in your list.

INDICATOR UPDATE

To update the indicator, if there was an update: 1) Refresh the browser/application page; 2) Add the indicator to the chart; 3) Save the page. The previous version of the indicator, previously added to the chart, can be removed from the chart, or left to compare with the new one

CONTROL

After adding the indicator to the chart, hover over the indicator name in the upper left corner - the indicator management menu will pop up. Click on the three dots (1) to open the indicator management menu. In it you can create a new alert specifically for the selected indicator, open the indicator settings, hide or remove it from the chart.

INDICATOR SETTINGS

Arguments - this is the main section of settings, usually under the phrase "Indicator Settings" you mean it. It is used to set up the algorithm itself, various filters, algorithm selection, etc. (depending on the indicator), sometimes it can be used to set up the visual display of the indicator

Properties is a section of strategy settings, it is available only in indicators with built-in strategy tester, we have 3 of them: Indicatum, IQ Trend and ALTS 4.0. Documentation on the strategy tester is available here:

Style is a section of setting the visual display of the indicator style operators. In it you can change the colour, style and thickness of display operators (e.g. TP, SL, different labels)

AWARDS

You can set up personalised notifications for each of our indicators. They can be divided conditionally into three types: 1) In Telegram; 2) For automatic trading by a bot; 3) Inside Tradingview

To create notifications specifically for auto-trading, we recommend using a special manual, which should be on the website of your chosen service for auto-trading, here are the most popular ones:

All documentation on alerts from tradingview is also available at the link:

PROBLEM SOLVING

Sometimes, indicators crash with an error: the chart is empty and there is a red mark with an error near the indicator name. Hover the cursor over it to find out the reason for the error

OR "NO AUTH" OR "NO ACCESS"

This means that you no longer have access to this indicator, OR tradingview is not aware that access is available yet

There are two ways to solve the problem: 1) Pay the subscription for the indicator; 2) If the subscription is paid, access is granted, but the error still exists - refresh the page in your browser/application and the error will disappear.

CALCULATION TIME OUT, OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR CONTENT

This means that the indicator has not had time to calculate in the allotted time. In regular tradingview subscriptions 20 seconds are given for calculation, in premium subscription - 40 seconds. If the indicator fails to load during this time, it will exit with an error

This error appears most often on low timeframes in indicators with complex algorithms, such as Real Smart Money, GG-Bang or FQ Trend. To make it not appear so often - you can simplify calculations, in case of GG-Bang, for example, disable Adaptive AI, in other indicators just disable the functionality you do not need at the moment

To remove this error is very simple: open the indicator settings, change any parameter and close the settings. This will force the indicator to reboot. Repeat until the problem disappears. If the error does not disappear, then you need to disable unnecessary functionality to the maximum, or move to a higher timeframe

NOTIFICATION CALCULATION ERROR

In tradingview, not only indicators, but also notifications to indicators crash with errors. The problem is exactly the same as with calculation time out, and the ways to avoid it in the future are the same

The solution is very simple - you need to restart the notification: to do this, put the cursor over the required notification, the notification control panel will appear. Click the restart button. After that the notification will be restarted

After restarting, the alert may fail again after some time. In order to reduce the risk of the notification crashing, you can simplify the calculations, in case of GG-Bang, for example, disable Adaptive AI, in other indicators just disable the functionality you don't need at the moment.

After you have simplified the calculations, the notification MUST be recreated. The notification you have created has its own life: you can remove the indicator from the chart, change its settings, but it will not affect the notification. For changes in indicator settings to take effect, you need to create a new alert. You can delete an old notification
