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

  1. Alert created on the correct indicator version?
  2. Condition set to Once per bar close (recommended)?
  3. Alert quota: Free = 3, Essential = 20, Plus = 100, Premium = 400, Expert = 600, Ultimate = 1,000
  4. Browser tab closed? Use TradingView desktop or server-side alerts (paid plans).
  5. 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?
18. Can I share my indicator with others?
  • No. The license is tied to your specific TradingView username and is non-transferable.
