FAQ
FAQ & Troubleshooting
1. Indicator not showing up — username mismatch
- The TradingView username you entered at checkout must match the one you are logged in with now.
- Find the name on your invoice email or in TradingView Profile → Settings → Username.
- If they differ, email support@infinityalgo.com with the correct username and we will update your license.
2. Red lock icon next to the script — script still locked
- About 90% of the time the username is wrong or the purchase is not finished.
- Enter the correct username (see Q1), wait 30 seconds, then reload the chart.
- When the lock turns green, the script is ready to load (see Q3).
3. How do I unlock the indicator?
- A green lock means the license is recognized.
- Click the script name under Invite-only Scripts to add it to the chart.
- If the lock stays red, go back to Q2.
4. Indicator timeout error
- TradingView shows a timeout when calculations take too long (usually on lower timeframes or with AI enabled).
- Quick fix: Open settings () → toggle any input → click OK. This forces a refresh.
- Alternative: Remove the indicator and re-add it from Invite-only Scripts.
- Consider using Static mode or a higher Update Frequency if you are using AI optimization.
5. Cannot load — “Too many indicators”
- TradingView limits active indicators per chart:
- Free = 2
- Essential = 5
- Plus = 10
- Premium = 25
- Expert = 30
- Ultimate = 50
- Remove unused indicators in the legend and reload, or upgrade your plan / split across multiple charts.
6. Open the indicator settings
- Click the gear icon next to the script name in the legend.
- All inputs, colors, and alert toggles are here.
- Reset to Default is bottom-left inside that window (see Q12).
7. “Study Not Auth” error
- The script could not verify your license.
- Refresh the page (F5) — fixes ~30% of cases.
- Recheck username spelling (Q1).
- Occasionally TradingView’s auth server is busy; wait a few minutes and reload.
- Still failing? Send a screenshot and your username to support.
8. “Internal Server Study Error”
- Temporary TradingView server issue or cached script.
- Hard-refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R) or open a new tab / the desktop app.
- Check https://status.tradingview.com/ — if components are red, wait for green.
9. TradingView asks me to pay again
- It is a quota notice, not a payment request.
- You have reached your indicator limit (see Q5).
- Remove one script or upgrade your TradingView plan; the prompt disappears.
10. Does the indicator repaint?
- No. Once a bar closes, its signals and values never change.
- Values can “breathe” while the current bar is still forming — normal for any real-time calculation.
11. How do I get the latest version?
- Updates are pushed automatically.
- If you boosted the script, you will receive an email titled “Infinity Algo – new version.”
- Remove the old copy and re-add it from Invite-only Scripts to load the newest build.
- Existing alert templates stay intact unless TradingView flags an input change.
12. Reset settings to factory defaults
- Open settings () → Reset to Default Inputs → OK.
- Colors can be reset under the Style tab.
13. My alerts don’t fire
Quick checklist
- Alert created on the correct indicator version?
- Condition set to Once per bar close (recommended)?
- Alert quota: Free = 3, Essential = 20, Plus = 100, Premium = 400, Expert = 600, Ultimate = 1,000
- Browser tab closed? Use TradingView desktop or server-side alerts (paid plans).
- Follow the step-by-step alert guide in the docs.
14. No backtest data for futures
- Futures require a different order size setting in TradingView.
- Fix: Open settings () → Properties → change Order Size from “USD” to “Contracts” or “Quantity”.
- This applies to all futures symbols: ES, MES, NQ, MNQ, YM, RTY, CL, GC, etc.
- Futures trade in contracts/lots, not USD position sizing.
15. Remove the indicator from a chart
- In the legend, click the × next to the script name.
- The license remains in Invite-only Scripts — you can re-add it any time.
16. What are the optimal settings?
- Optimal settings vary by market, timeframe, and trading style. Use our backtesting tools to discover what works best for you.
17. Can I change my TradingView username after purchase?
- Yes — email support@infinityalgo.com with your new username. One free change per license.
18. Can I share my indicator with others?
- No. The license is tied to your specific TradingView username and is non-transferable.
