How to set up a chart in TradingView and use two tools to edit it

Let's know a little more about the TradingView chart section, the basic interface provides a large set of characters and I divide them as follows: a chart customization section, a tools section and the configuration section, where we can also customize our chart.

Primero exploremos el botos de configuracion, con este podemos modificar y personalizar distintios aspectos de la grafica como las velas las reticulas e inclusive personalizarlo para que nos muestre nuestras ejecuciones en el mercado e interaccion con la grafica, veamos como podemos editar la grafica a nuestro antojo con el boton de configuracion.

Setting

We can see, from top to bottom, that we can change the colors of the candles, their filling edges and even the wick, in addition to being able to change the text on the screen, darken or edit the opacity of the background grids up to the current price line, since we have a set of 6 windows to edit the graph, let's explore each of these in more detail.

Edition of symbols: in this window we can edit the candles or the price symbols, customizing their color in general, in addition to editing price closing lines and last price, being able to change their color, thickness or opacity.

Editing Status Lines: Here we can edit the text that is displayed on the screen, such as the symbol of the chosen pair, the OHLC values ​​and others. We can change their color, opacity or size.

Scale Edition: We can edit the high or low price tags, we can include or remove the Bid and Ask prices among others.

Appearance Edition: Here we can edit the appearance of our graph, change the background color, the grids, visible navigation buttons, margins and others.

Trading Edition: Here we can configure the execution sampling of our positions or executions, facilitating a follow-up of our interaction with the market.

Event Edition: Here we can edit the events carried out, for example future events, show profits, dividends and others.

Indicators and events

This stage is found at the top of the chart, here we can find a very varied set of indicators and tools, as well as events to better manage and interpret any desired chart. Let's explore this section in detail.

We can see a set of buttons with multiple functions as the first button we have the symbol or pair search engine. Here we can search for any desired pair, be it cryptocurrencies, stocks, currencies, among others. Remember that there are more than 29 million graphics!

From left to right after the pairs button, we can configure the time of the chart, either 1m, 1h, 1D, 1S or more, since TradingView offers us a large number of periods.

As a third button we have the price reprecentation configuration, as we can choose Japanese candles, bars, roe candles, Heikin Ashi, PnF, among others.

In the fourth button we can add other pairs for the comparison of this with the represented one, this appears to us in a numerical way in the upper left corner of the graph.

As the fifth button offers a selection window for a large number of technical indicators, all the ones you can imagine are there, just use the window's search engine to find the one you want to show on the chart.

The next button is the financial information, a useful tool to operate, however not with all the assets it gives us this information, but it has a large number of symbols to show us the financial information of the asset.

The next button is the templates button, it already offers a set of templates with more common indicators used together for different strategies, some well known and others more unique.

As the second to last button is the alarm button, where we can locate different alarms so that at the price reaching that mark will alert us immediately.

Finally, it has the reproduction of bars, which is a useful tool to be able to study the behavior of the bars at a certain moment and to be able to reproduce it at different speeds.

How to add Technical Indicators?

We already knew each of the tools and characteristics that the TradeView chart offers us, now we know how to place indicators, let's see, their placement is very simple since we only need to look for them and click.

First, in the button of technical indicators that is located in the upper left part of the graph, when pressing it, as we saw before; It opens the window to search for any desired indicator, in this case I will add two of my favorites. First I will add the RSI which is an indicator of trend strength, for this you just have to write its name in the search engine and select it.

Once we have our technical indicator in view, we will only click on it and it will automatically be added to the chart, as you can see in the following image.

in a similar way I will add another of the indicators, in this case I will look for the KDJ indicator, others of my favorites, when typing its name, no official one appears but one programmed and added to the public library by some user.

As you can see I can have these two indicators at the same time, and I can add more, however I have a limit due to my free registration, however if I pay for the Premium plan I can add more than 25 indicators to the same chart.

My opinion on TradingView and cryptocurrencies.

TradingView is a very useful platform for cryptocurrencies and those who operate with them, whether to trade or not, having a large set of indicator tools and charts of many different pairs in one place, gives us a unique facility, I personally , I see TradingView as essential, since it frames a lot in its platform, making it easy for us to constantly monitor our favorite projects.

It is true, in TradingView we cannot buy cryptocurrencies, and we cannot directly read and investigate a project, but we can see the price history with a set of tools that can help us know where and how the project we are following is oriented.

Conclusion

The objective of this post was not to show TradingView as the best platform in the world, but to expose it in its entirety, in addition to learning about its management and everything it has to offer, since without a doubt it is a platform that has facilitated and helped to a large number of retailers.

TradingView is a platform that fascinates with its breadth and scope, in this modern world with the great growth of cryptocurrencies, TradingView has helped us to know the vast world of trading and operations, its great community, expands us to share with a community new and wide from all over the world.
