💾 Save Multiple Trading Setups

TradingView's "Save as default" only saves ONE configuration. Here's how to save multiple named setups (Scalping, Swing, etc.):

Best for Quick Strategy Switching

What it saves: All indicators + their settings as a reusable preset

Important: Templates replace current indicators and do NOT save drawings.

How to use:

  1. Set up your indicators exactly how you want

  2. Click Templates icon (4 squares) in top toolbar

  3. Select Save Indicator Template

  4. Name it (e.g., "Scalp 5m", "Swing 4H", "Position Daily")

  5. Load any template instantly from the same menu

Templates menu
Save and load indicator templates from this menu

Pro Tip: Create templates for different timeframes and trading styles. Switch between them with 2 clicks!

🔧 Quick Fixes

Chart looks compressed/squished

An indicator may be plotting values far from price. Solutions:

  1. Hide the problematic indicator temporarily

  2. Right-click the price scale → Reset

  3. Check if an indicator is in a separate pane but scaled wrong

See TradingView's guide: The chart looks way too compressed

Can't see indicator settings gear

  1. Make sure the indicator title is visible (use +/− toggle)

  2. Hover over the indicator name in the legend

  3. The ⚙️ settings icon appears on hover

Multiple charts not syncing

To sync all charts in layout:

  1. Click Select Layout → Sync layout

  2. Choose what to sync:

    • Symbol

    • Interval (timeframe)

    • Crosshair

    • Time (date range)

For drawings: Enable Drawing sync from the left toolbar

For selective sync: Use the Chart Syncing emoji icon in the Status line to group specific charts (🔴🔵🟢)

To sync across tabs: Use color tags to link specific tabs

Compare shows "detached lines"

This happens when using percent comparison mode. To fix:

  1. Right-click the price scale

  2. Select Indexed to 100 to align lines from the same starting point

This is normal behavior for the Compare tool's percent mode.
