BASIC MANUAL ON WORKING WITH INDICATORS 

ADDING, UPDATING, CUSTOMIZATION

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 "Invates only scripts" 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 the list.

INDICATOR UPDATE

To update the indicator, if there has been 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.

CUSTOMIZATION

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" 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, etc.

Inputs - this is the main section of settings, usually under the phrase "Indicator Settings" you mean it. In it you can customize the algorithm itself, various filters, algorithm selection, etc. (depending on the indicator), sometimes you can customize the visual display of the indicator in it

Properties is a section of strategy settings, it is available only in indicators with built-in strategy tester, we have 2 of them: Smart Predictum and IQ Trend.

The documentation for 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 color, style and thickness of display operators (e.g. TP, SL, different labels)

PROBLEM SOLVING

Sometimes indicators are displayed 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

STUDY NOT AUTH OR "NO ACCESS"

It means that you no longer have access to this indicator, OR tradingview does not know 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 is still there - refresh the page in your browser/application and the error will disappear.

"CALCULATION TIME OUT" OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR IN 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 Trade Soul Smart Money, GG-Shot AI or IQ Trend. To make it not appear so often - you can simplify calculations, in case of GG-Shot AI, 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 settings of the indicator, change any parameter back and forth 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.

ALERT CALCULATION ERROR

In tradingview, not only indicators, but also notifications to the indicators fly out 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.

You need to restart the notification: to do this, move the cursor over the required notification, the notification control panel will appear. Click the restart button. After that, the notification will restart.
After restarting, the alert may fail again after some time. In order to reduce the risk of the notification crashing - you can simplify calculations, in case of GG-Shot AI, for example, disable Adaptive AI, in other indicators just disable the functionality you do not need at the moment.
After you have simplified the calculations, the notification MUST be recreated. The notification created by you works independently: you can remove the indicator from the chart, change its settings, but it will not affect the notification. In order for changes in indicator settings to take effect, you need to create a new alert. You can delete an old notification.
