Here are some frequently asked questions:

Why am I unable to locate my symbols in the symbol search box? 

EOD symbols won't appear in the symbol search suggestions, but you can still access them. Simply input the complete symbol name (prefix:symbol_name) and hit Enter. The chart will then display the specified symbol.

I first entered the symbol data and then added the symbol descriptions. All processes were completed successfully, yet the chart does not show the data. What should I do? 

When adding symbols, you must first include their descriptions in symbol_info/, then confirm that the actions were successful. If "No data here" appears on the chart, and you added the symbol data beforehand, delete the data from the CSV file and commit the changes. Afterwards, ensure "No data here" is visible on the chart before re-adding the symbol data. For more details, consult the tutorial on how to add and remove symbols from the chart. 

Note: The aforementioned steps apply only to newly added symbols. For symbols that already have data displayed on the chart, you can modify the CSV files without waiting for "No data here" to show up. Your data will be updated.

What should I do if the maximum time for the symbol to show on the chart has elapsed, but I still can't see it? 

The maximum time for a symbol to appear on the chart is 30 minutes. If it hasn’t appeared by then, check the action logs for any validation warnings or errors. If you're unable to resolve the issue, reach out to us at pine.seeds@tradingview.com. Our support team is available Monday to Friday from 7 AM to 4 PM UTC.

Is a candlestick chart more informative? 

A Line chart is ideal for economic data, which typically has a single data source as it only displays closing values. In contrast, data with varying OHLC values is better represented by a Candlestick chart, which shows each of these four values individually.

Who can access my symbols in the user interface? 

Anyone familiar with the full symbol names can view your symbols' EOD data through the Symbol Search.

What are symbols?

Symbols, also known as tickers, are shorthand notations for financial instruments that are publicly listed or traded on specific exchanges. These can include stocks, bonds, indices, cryptocurrencies, and other assets. For instance, "AAPL" refers to Apple Inc. stocks, while "SPX" denotes the S&P 500 index.

The length of a symbol is determined by the rules of the exchange. For example, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) permits symbols of up to four characters, whereas Nasdaq sometimes allows symbols to have up to five characters.

Different exchanges may assign different symbols to the same financial instrument. For example, Tata Motors' stock is represented as "500570" on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and as "TATAMOTORS" on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE).

Additionally, tickers can represent economic data instead of tradable assets. For example, "USINTR" is the ticker for economic data concerning US interest rates.

How to access Symbol Search

You can easily explore various symbols using the Symbol Search feature on TradingView. To open the Symbol Search window, locate the search box next to the main menu or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+K on Windows or Cmd+K on macOS.

With Symbol Search, in addition to ticker symbols, you can also look for:

•        Community ideas related to any symbol

•        Scripts created using our exclusive Pine Script® language

•        Traders to follow

•        Curated watchlists called Sparks to jumpstart your market research

Be sure to explore each of these sections on our platform. We believe that trading should be a social experience and emphasize the importance of connecting you with other traders.

In the search box, enter the exact symbol or a keyword associated with the symbol you’re interested in. For example, while the symbol for the British Pound is GBP, you can simply type "pound" to see all related symbols.

In the Symbol Search window, each row displays the symbol characters on the left, a description in the center, and the data source on the right. For instance, in the first row of the image, the symbol is "GBPUSD," the description reads "British Pound/US Dollar," and the data is sourced from FXCM (Forex Capital Markets). When searching using symbol characters like "OIL," ensure you select the correct symbol by reviewing its description, as different symbols may have tickers or names that contain the same characters or may even be identical.

To help you locate the symbol you're looking for, you can apply different filters. Initially, there are tabs that categorize the list by asset type, including stocks, funds, futures, forex pairs, cryptocurrencies, bonds, economic data, and options. Additionally, each tab features its own filtering options, allowing you to specify the country, type, category, source, sector, or exchange based on your requirements.

Once you've identified the right symbol, move your cursor over it and select one of two options:

•        Open chart. This will take you to our Superchart for analyzing the chosen symbol.

•        View overview. This will direct you to the symbol's page on TradingView, where you can access a wealth of information including fundamentals, news, technical data, community insights, and more pertaining to the selected symbol.

What format should data be saved in? Use plain-text files for your data storage. Price data should be kept in CSV format within the data/ directory, with each symbol having its own file. Additional information about symbols should be stored in a JSON file in the symbol_info/ directory, detailing all symbol settings in a single file.

What happens if data is saved with a different file extension? If you use a different extension, the data won't display on the chart. You need to change the file extension to CSV and submit a new pull request.

Can only trading data be integrated? The TradingView platform is effective for handling trading data, which typically shows price value differences. However, for data series with only one value per day, set open, close, high, and low to the same value, and volume to 0. This format is suitable for economic indicators.

What is EOD data and how does it differ from intraday data? EOD (End-of-Day) data consists of values recorded at the end of a trading day. Unlike intraday data, which may have multiple fluctuations, only the final value of the day is represented on the chart.

How soon can I see results after updating data? Your EOD data is verified and uploaded several times daily. You will see values for the current day as well as previous ones on the chart. If more frequent updates are needed, you can integrate via REST API, but this is limited to brokerage integrations.

How often should data be updated from the source? TradingView enables you to observe and analyze data over any timeframe. Stale data is no longer beneficial; if your files are not updated for three months, the source will be deactivated.

What are the data limits? EOD data is restricted to 6,000 symbols per repository. If you have more than 6,000 CSV files, you should create another data repository.

Overview of TradingView Alerts 

TradingView alerts provide instant notifications when the market satisfies your specific conditions. For instance, you might set an alert for Notify me if Apple rises above $150. All users can receive visual pop-ups, sound alerts, email notifications, and email-to-SMS alerts, as well as PUSH notifications sent to their mobile devices. Additionally, Essential, Plus, and Premium users have the option to receive webhook notifications when an alert is activated.

You can set up alerts for prices, indicators, strategies, and drawing tools.

Real-Time Price Alerts 

Customize alerts to receive notifications on any device. Select a significant price level and create an alert that activates upon movement. Notifications can be sent via email, mobile push, or desktop.

Indicator Alerts 

Generate alerts based on over 1,000 indicators available on TradingView, including community-created ones. Tailor each alert with predefined conditions like crossing up or exiting channel, or establish your own trigger settings using alertcondition and alert functions.

Strategy Alerts 

Set alerts for strategies to receive notifications whenever a strategy's order is executed.

Draw Your Own Alerts 

Create personalized alerts based on your chart analysis. Utilize the line drawing tool to make trend lines, channels, or other custom shapes, and then set alerts based on your drawings.

Alert Types 

– Crossing: The most fundamental alert, which notifies you when the price crosses a specified level, regardless of direction. 

  Example: Alert me when Google rises by $10 from its current price. Open a GOOGL chart, access the Alert menu, and set the price to $1550.30. Alternatively, right-click on the chart at $1550.30 to set the alert.

– Crossing Down / Crossing Up: A more specific version of the Crossing alert that allows you to define the direction of the price movement. The Crossing Down alert activates when the price crosses below the set value, while Crossing Up notifies you when it crosses above. 

  Example: Microsoft is at $44.54. I expect it to drop to $42 before rising again. I want an alert for when MSFT crosses $42 upward.

– Greater Than / Less Than: These alerts notify you when the price surpasses or falls below a specified level. 

  Example: Apple is at $97.79, approaching $100. I want to be alerted when it goes above $100.

– Entering Channel / Exiting Channel: Alerts that trigger when the price enters or exits defined channel boundaries, indicating significant price movement. 

  Example: Cisco typically fluctuates around $2 after earnings. If it moves outside of this $2 range, I want an alert.

– Inside Channel / Outside Channel: Alerts that notify you if the price is within or outside a specified channel, without considering the previous bar's position relative to the channel. 

  Example: This is similar to Entering/Exiting Channel alerts but focuses on whether the value is inside or outside the defined range.

– Moving Up / Moving Down: These alerts track price movements over a defined time frame. A Moving Up alert triggers if the price increases by a specified amount within a set number of time periods, while Moving Down does the same for decreases. 

  Example: I want to know if Google increases by $10 within the next 4 days.

– Moving Up % / Moving Down %: Similar to the Moving Up/Down alerts, but based on percentage changes. 

  Example: I want to be alerted for a 10% increase. If the current price is $97.40, this sets the target at $107.14 automatically.

Alerts for Drawings 

.

Alerts can also be set for various drawing tools

If a drawing has an active alert, you’ll see an icon next to the drawing (same color as the drawing).

If the alert is inactive, the icon becomes gray. 

If the drawing is modified, the alert will be updated automatically. Please note that drawing alerts, similar to indicator alerts, are influenced by the chart resolution and will only activate for the specific timeframe chosen when the alert was set up. Furthermore, only one alert is permitted for each drawing.

Accumulation Distribution Line (ADL) is a volume-based indicator created to assess the fundamental supply and demand dynamics in the market. It aims to identify whether traders are in a phase of accumulation (buying) or distribution (selling) by calculating a cumulative total of the Money Flow Volume for each period. The ADL can highlight discrepancies between volume movements and actual price trends, helping to confirm an ongoing trend or predict a potential reversal in the future.

History 

The Accumulation Distribution Line (ADL) was developed by renowned stock analyst Marc Chaikin. It is closely associated with two of his other well-known indicators: the Chaikin Oscillator and the Chaikin Money Flow indicator.

Calculation 

The formula for calculating Accumulation/Distribution is as follows: 

Accumulation/Distribution = ((Close – Low) – (High – Close)) / (High – Low)  Period Volume. 

To grasp how this indicator functions, it's essential to break down the formula into its components. 

1. Calculate the Money Flow Multiplier: 

   ((Close – Low) – (High – Close)) / (High – Low) = Money Flow Multiplier. 

2. After determining the Money Flow Multiplier, you can then compute the Money Flow Volume: 

   Money Flow Multiplier  Period’s Volume = Money Flow Volume. 

3. The ADL represents a cumulative total of the Money Flow Volume for each period. Therefore, to chart the ADL, you add the Current Money Flow Volume to the Previous ADL: 

   ADL = Previous ADL + Current Money Flow Volume. 

Basics 

Analyzing the formula, the primary factor influencing the rise or fall of the ADL is the Money Flow Multiplier. This multiplier reflects the relationship between a period's closing price and the high/low range for that period. It typically ranges from -1 to 1. A closing price in the upper half of the range results in a Money Flow Multiplier that approaches 1, while a closing price in the lower half drives it closer to -1. A multiplier closer to 1 indicates greater buying pressure. Thus, when a strongly positive multiplier coincides with high volume, the ADL will increase. Conversely, a highly negative multiplier paired with strong volume will lead to a decrease in the ADL, reflecting selling pressure. Consequently, the ADL serves as a measure of the strength of buying and selling (accumulation and distribution) activities, making it a useful tool for confirming trends and predicting potential reversals.

What to Look For 

Trend Confirmation 

This is one of the most straightforward advantages of using the ADL. In the presence of a robust uptrend or downtrend, the ADL tends to move in tandem with the price, thereby affirming the prevailing trend.

Divergence

Divergences are significant in the analysis of the Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL). Many traders believe that changes in volume often lead changes in price, so any situation where volume and price are moving in opposite directions should be taken into account. The ADL can assist traders in recognizing these situations. A bullish ADL divergence occurs when the ADL is increasing while the price is decreasing. An upward trend in the ADL indicates growing buying pressure (Accumulation). If we assume that volume leads price, a price reversal appears likely.

Bearish ADL Divergence occurs when the Accumulation Distribution Line (ADL) is declining while the price is increasing. This suggests that selling pressure is building up (Distribution), indicating that the price might soon start to decline.

Unreliability 

Like any indicator, it's crucial for users of the Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL) to be aware of its limitations. A significant drawback of the ADL is that the Money Flow Multiplier, which significantly influences the direction of the ADL, does not account for price range changes between periods. As a result, if there is a price gap, the ADL will not reflect this, leading to a disconnection between the line and the actual price.

Summary 

In general, the Accumulation Distribution (ADL) indicator is a fairly dependable tool for assessing the underlying dynamics on a security's chart. This task can be challenging, making ADL quite beneficial. However, understanding the underlying buying and selling pressures (accumulation and distribution) is usually insufficient on its own. Therefore, ADL works best as a supplementary indicator, serving as just one component of any trading approach or strategy. Additionally, due to the unreliability noted earlier, ADL should not be used as a standalone tool, as it can sometimes become misaligned with price movements. It is advisable to utilize other tools to establish a system of checks and balances.

Accumulation/Distribution 

Allows you to toggle the visibility of the ADL and a price line that displays the current value of the ADL. You can also customize the ADL's color, line thickness, and visual style (with Line being the default option).

Properties 

Last Value on Price Scale 

Enables or disables the visibility of the Indicator Value on the vertical axis.

Arguments in Header 

Enables or disables the display of the indicator's name and settings in the upper left corner of the chart.

Scaling 

Adjusts the indicator's position to either the Right or the Left.
