What is a technical indicator on TradingView?
A technical indicator is a key analysis tool that helps visualize market trends and identify entry and exit signals in real time. Our indicators assist traders in evaluating crucial levels, such as support, resistance, and turning points.
How do I install an indicator on TradingView?
To install an indicator, log in to TradingView, navigate to your chart, and click the “Indicators” tab. Search for the indicator name, then add it to your chart for instant integration.
Do I need a premium account to use paid indicators?
No, a premium account is not required, though it’s recommended to have at least a basic TradingView account to access real-time market data and maximize user experience.
Are your indicators compatible with all markets?
Yes, our indicators are optimized for all markets available on TradingView, including stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, indices, and commodities. Select the indicator that best aligns with your trading strategy.
Can I customize the indicator settings?
Yes, most of our indicators allow for settings customization. You can adjust parameters to suit your trading approach, achieving more tailored and precise results.
Are your indicators user-friendly?
Generally, all of our indicators are designed to be user-friendly for both experienced and beginner traders. However, certain advanced features may require basic self-learning of trading concepts.
Can I get a trial access before purchasing an indicator?
Yes, we offer a one-week trial period. To request this, please contact us via the contact form, ensuring you provide your TradingView username and the indicator you’d like to trial.
Do your indicators repaint?
Some indicators and functionalities may repaint based on their intended use. Repainting is not inherently an issue, depending on the feature that utilizes it. However, all signals provided through alerts are non-repainting. If a signal appears unconfirmed (appears intra-bar then disappears), this does not necessarily indicate repainting. We advise waiting for confirmation in such scenarios before entering a position.
When will specific features of an indicator be updated?
Indicator updates follow a planned schedule. Some updates may take extensive time (up to a year) depending on the complexity of the modifications and if a full code rewrite is required to leverage the latest PineScript features. Rick Simpson Trading currently has one developer, which may limit the frequency of releases, but user requests are consistently considered and incorporated in future updates.
Does it work on MetaTrader 4/5?
Our exclusive indicators are specifically designed for TradingView, allowing you to trade in real-time on any platform based on TradingView charts.
What happens if a paid indicator (beyond the 14-day refund period) is moderated by TradingView?
Unfortunately, no refunds can be issued under these circumstances. However, rest assured that the indicator will be re-released with enhanced performance, demonstrating our commitment to supporting our clients.
