customizing TradingView charts

Everyone has their own preferences for chart layout. Customizing colors, lines, and axes makes your charts easier to read and understand . We’ll walk you through how to do this in Trading View . You can see all the options by right-clicking on the chart and clicking “Settings.”

From the “Settings” menu , you can reset your chart if it gets cluttered and also set it to send you price alert emails .

When you click on  “Settings” , you will be taken to the “Chart Settings” section where you will be able to play around with a number of options. Let’s take a quick look at these options .

1. The “Symbol” option allows you to change the way the candlestick chart is displayed. You can set each part of the candlestick pattern to exactly the color you want .

2. The “Status Line” option allows you to change the information you see in the top left, such as OHLS ( High and Low, Open and Close) as well as the Buy and Sell shortcut button. The red box shows you the lowest buy price and the blue box shows you the highest sell price. The difference between these prices is equal to the spread .

3. The “Scale” option provides the ability to make changes to the price followers on the right axis. For example, you can add the high and low of the day or set a countdown to the close of the candle .

4. The “Appearance” option allows you to change the background color and settings for grid lines, axis lines, and other appearance settings .

5. The “Trading” option allows you to change visual elements, provided you are logged in to your brokerage account .

6. The “Event” option allows you to see dividends, splits, and other events on the chart .

How to set the chart time frame

Along with the appearance settings of the Trading View chart, you can also choose the timeframe of your chart. To do this, go to the top bar and click on the button at the far left. Here you will be presented with a long list of different timeframes, ranging from seconds to months. You can also star your favorite timeframes so that they are available to you in the shortcut bar .

Once you start customizing your chart, you don't need to manually save it. TradingView saves all your edits live, so you can log out of your account and when you log back in, you'll see your changes still there .

Other TradingView features

In addition to all the features we mentioned in the previous sections, there are more advanced capabilities, including coding, connecting to brokers, and sharing analytics, which we will explain in this section .

Sharing and publicizing analytics in Tradingview

TradingView offers Instagram-like features for sharing and showcasing trading strategies. TradingView’s social media pages allow you to learn from traders’ advice or get feedback from others on the content you share .

This TradingView feature is great for growth and learning. At the same time, be careful because everyone can share on the TradingView social network. Everyone has a different level of knowledge and each trader shares their own style and opinions, so don't seek financial advice .

Just like you can watch online streams of gamers, the Trading View stream allows you to see live how other traders are looking at their charts. This feature is in beta and there isn't a lot of content in this section yet .

Therefore, there are currently two modes of sharing for specific individuals and publishing the analysis publicly, which we will explain below .

Share the chart with the right people

To share charts in “View-only” mode , you need to use the chart itself. To do this, first on the charting page, from the top toolbar, click on the arrow icon to the right of the chart, next to “Unnamed” and turn on the “Sharing” option to create a link for you. Now click on “Copy Link” below it to copy it .

Now you can send this link to others and give them the ability to view the analysis applied to it. Anyone with this link will be able to view the chart you drew. People will also be able to save and copy the chart .

Publicly disseminating ideas and analysis

In addition to sharing using a link, you can also publish your ideas and analyses publicly on the TradingView website to be displayed as a post for all users .

To do this, on the charting page, this time from the toolbar at the top of the page, click on the “Publish” option in the right corner and click on one of the “Publish idea” options to publish the chart as a picture, or “Record video idea” to record a video. The “Speak your mind” option is also used to enter comments and opinions about the relevant currency pair ( for example, BTC/USDT) .

Now, if you select the “Publish idea” option , the following page will open for you, where you must fill in the appropriate information :

• Title : A good title that can attract audiences to the website. Tradingview Be .
• Description : The description should also be attractive and understandable, and should not only state your idea of the future movement of the asset, but also, preferably, why. For example, a  Fundamental analysis And fundamentals can be your starting point. Note that the descriptions and titles must be in English, so you need adequate language knowledge to publish ideas and not have them deleted or changed by TradingView itself .
• Analysis/Tutorial : These two options are used to specify the type of idea being published . Analysis is used to publish analyses regarding market conditions and buy/sell signals for the asset in question. If your purpose in publishing the chart is “educational”, you should select the “Tutorial” option .
• Investment Strategy : If you publish “ Analysis” , you must also specify your opinion on the price movement, i.e. “Long” or “Neutral” or “Short” .
• Category : In this section, you can select up to 3 categories that are most relevant to your analysis .
• Share Twitter : You can also publish your analysis on Twitter .
• Tags : You can also use tags to make your analysis or training more visible .

After publishing an idea, you have up to 15 minutes to edit the title and

description to correct spelling mistakes or make minor changes. You can also delete the post during this time. After the 15 minutes are up, the only parts of the post that can be edited are the links to the ideas and their associated tags .

TradingView site coding features

Website Tradingview It has developed its own programming language called Pine Script, which allows users to create customized indicators and run them on servers. Pine is a lightweight language specifically designed for developing indicators and strategies, and most of the internal indicators on this website are also coded in this language .

Additionally, Pine is cloud-based, so it has a different nature in terms of a client-side programming language. While TradingView has said it doesn’t plan to turn Pine into a full-fledged language with advanced coding capabilities for building complex tools, its constant improvement is a top priority for the team .

Since every script written by Pine uses cloud computing resources, the website is forced to impose limits on sharing these resources only among its users. These limits include elements such as the amount of data generated by additional symbols, execution time, memory consumption, and script size .

As you've probably seen by now, there's a special editor under the "Pine Editor" option in the toolbar below the charts that's designed specifically for writing and editing code .

To work with this editor, after clicking on “Pine Editor” , you need to click on “Untitled Script” and choose a name for your script. Of course, it is possible to change this name, so do not worry about this part. After that, the following editor will be displayed where you can start writing code. Once finished, the indicator can be added to the chart, saved and edited, as well as published to the public .

One way to learn to work with this language is through TradingView's "Built-in" indicators , which are written in Pine. The codes for these indicators are open source and accessible to everyone. So, just choose the indicator you like and check the changes by manipulating the codes .

Additionally, by visiting tradingview.com/scripts/coding , you can view scripts from other users of this website and use them as examples .

For example, one of the users of this website named “ HassanRifat ” has an indicator specifically for detecting a range market. Bitcoin has an open-source design, so you can use it to design a similar indicator for other cryptocurrencies..
