TradingView

Use TradingView if you prefer browser or app-based charting.

What to expect:

  • The script is invite-only.
  • You must request and receive access before it can be used on your chart.
  • Once access is active, open the script page and choose Use on chart.
  • TradingView alerts are configured from TradingView, not from MetaTrader.
  • v3 uses B#/S# labels, trade zones, Smart Trail, and a Pine dashboard — see chart examples.

  • Symbol and timeframe.
  • Whether the indicator appears in Navigator.
