Understanding TradingView indicator restrictions
April 5, 2025
Recently, somebody contacted me with a question about adding an indicator to the dialogue chart (TradingView chart widget). They joined the platinum plan, but were still limited when they tried to add indicators. The following is a way to solve the problem and the problem.
TradingView restrictions on indicators
When the widget is first integrated into the SwingtradeBot, the TV allows up to four free indicators. But they have since since then I reduced the limit to two indicators.. Basically, we coded the site to add some indicators. If you configure the default chart indicator, it will be displayed on the chart. Then you will see the following if you try to add a different indicator directly to the chart.
Solution and proposal
If you have a problem with adding indicators, you can try it:
1. Use the default chart indicator configuration.
- Click Configure the default chart indicator Button (located just above the chart).
- Add up to four indicators there. Hopefully this will continue to activate four indicators, but it cannot control whether it is.
2. Remove the indicators manually and replace it.
- The chart starts with 2-4 default indicators.
- Take the mouse above the existing indicator (like the bollinger band) to reveal the trash can icon.
- After removing enough indicators, you should be able to add new indicators.
Since TradingView controls the function of the embedded chart, Swingtradebot has no direct ability to redefine restrictions. These restrictions apply to all platforms using free widgets of TradingView as well as Swingtradebot.
Final thought
I understand that these limitations can be disappointing, but I’m looking for a way to provide the best experience within the constraints set by a third -party provider. If more problems arise, please contact us and inform you of the indicators you want to add!
Final Think 😁
While investigating this, I seem to stop supporting some of the (free) indicators they provided when the TV first programmed the default value system. One of these days is to update and update the selection of the page so that the TV matches the current support.
