How many indicators can you use on TradingView?
TradingView limits how many indicators you can add to each chart, and how many charts you can show in one layout. Here are the limits for every plan:
| Plan | Indicators per chart | Charts per tab |
| Basic (free) | 2 | 1 |
| Essential | 5 | 2 |
| Plus | 10 | 4 |
| Premium | 25 | 8 |
| Ultimate | 50 | 16 |

How to add an indicator to a TradingView chart
- Click “Indicators” in the toolbar at the top of the chart.
- Search by name, or browse the tabs: Technicals for TradingView’s built-in indicators, Fundamentals for company financial data, and Community Scripts for indicators published by other users.
- Click an indicator to add it to the chart. Repeat for more, up to your plan’s limit.
Faster: press Ctrl + K (⌘ + K on Mac) to open Quick search, which can insert indicators as well as find tools and settings. Not sure what an indicator does? Click the ? icon next to its name to open TradingView’s explanation.
Save your favorite indicators
Click the star next to an indicator’s name to add it to your favorites. Favorites appear in the Favorites tab of the indicators dialog, so the ones you use often are always one click away. The same star works for drawing tools, timeframes and chart types.
Use indicator templates
An indicator template saves a whole set of indicators so you can apply them to any chart at once.
- Save your own: add the indicators you want to the chart, click the Indicator Template button in the top toolbar, then choose Save indicator template.
- Apply one: click the same button and pick the template.
- TradingView also includes six ready-made templates, such as Oscillators and Volume Based.
Note: a template doesn’t raise your limit. Each indicator in it still counts towards the indicators allowed on that chart.
Change settings, hide or remove an indicator
- Settings: hover over the indicator’s name in the chart legend (top left of the chart) to see its buttons for settings, hiding and removing.
- Remove quickly: click the indicator’s name in the legend with the mouse wheel (middle-click), or middle-click the indicator on the chart.
- Colors: each indicator’s colors are in its settings under the Style tab. If you write your own in Pine Script, our Pine Script color tool gives you the color code, and the chart color generator styles the chart itself.
Fitting more into your indicator limit
- Remove what you don’t look at. Delete indicators you no longer use to free up space on that chart.
- Use one script that plots several things. The limit counts indicators, not lines. A single indicator, built-in or from Community Scripts, that shows several values counts once.
- Split across charts. On plans with more than one chart per tab, each chart has its own allowance.
