hello Traders I'm Luke from discipline Trader this video is a complete tutorial for the charting platform trading view I will be demonstrating how the features of the platform work and where to find them everything covered in the video will be listed in the contents below with corresponding time links if you need to skip to a particular section I've also included full subtitles for the video if you need them these can be turned on using the CC button on the YouTube player just before we start if you do find the video useful and want to open a trading View account there will be an affiliate link to trading view in the description box below where you can test the platform for free and set up a free account with trading view you will also get $15 to put towards any paid plan if you sign up using the link I'll also demonstrate how to open a free and paid account in the video if you need it let me know in the comments if you've used the link so I can say thanks you can use the trading view platform for free by simply going to the trading view website you can click the link in the description box below one once on the website simply hover over the products menu and then click super charts from the menu that appears and you'll be taken to the chat section of the website if you haven't created an account and signed up for a plan you'll be using the free version of trading view that has various limitations on it such as only being able to view one chat per tab put a maximum of two indicators on a chat limited historical chart data no replay function and a variety of other restrictions to see all the differences between the free plan and the paid plans you can go to the pricing section by hovering over the products button across the top of the homepage and then clicking pricing once on the pricing page scroll down to the compare plans section and click show all features you can now see all the different features and allowances included with each plan however the free plan is still a brilliant place to start with trading view you get enough functionality to make a decision on whether you want to progress to a paid plan there's also no rush to upgrade as you can use the free version for as long as you need although I would recommend creating a free account with trading view so you don't have to set everything up each time you visit the chart section let me show you how to do this to set up a trading view account you need to go to the trading view website you can click the link in the description box below once on the website you can click get started in the

premium each of these plans have different features included you can see what each plan gives you by scrolling down the page to the compare plans section to continue setting up your account you can either choose a free 30-day trial of any of the paid plans or you can opt to continue on the free basic plan you can stay on the free basic plan for as long as you want you do need to enter your payment details if you choose a paid trial plan but you won't be charged if you decide to cancel your trial before the 30 days expire this way you can get to see what a proper trading view account is like before committing to actually paying for it I would recommend you trial the account type you would most likely go for if you were to have a paid trading view account in the future this way you know that you are getting all the features you need when your trial ends if you just want to see the full unrestricted version of trading view then opt for a premium account trial once you click on

the tabs then shows the most relevant markets based on what you have searched and the market tab you have selected for each market it will show the trading view symbol name official name of the market and the exchange of that market so as an example I may want to trade the footsy 100 with active trades I know that active trades calls this Market the UK 100 cfd so I can type that in and look for the market called UK 100 cfd with active trades as the exchange to know I have the correct one however if I wasn't sure what my broker called a particular Market you can find it using the filter options using the same example I can click the all exchanges button and change this to active trades then select the cfd filter and then find the market I'm looking for in the resulting list to open the watch list window you can simply click the watch list button in the top right corner and this will appear here you will see a pre-populated list of different markets within different categories for each market entry on the list you will see the market ticker symbol last or latest price total daily change in points or Pips and the total daily price change percentage clicking on any of the markets

to the list once found just press the plus icon on the right hand side of the market you want to add and it will be added to the bottom of the list you can also have multiple watch lists if required to do this click the watch list title button in the top left corner of the watch list window then select create new list from the drop-down menu a dialogue box will appear asking for a name for your new watch list simply enter the name you want and press Center you'll now have a new empty list to populate with the markets that you want you can also now cycle between your existing watch lists by

marker symbol on the left hand side of the watch list entry it will then let you select what color to mark this Market with I find it useful for marking markets that are close to setting up for a trade ready to trade have a live trade running or aren't close to having a trade setup you can then view a list of all the markets marked with the same color by clicking the watch list title button and selecting the color list you want to see to change the time frame of a chart simply click on the chart you want to change and then click on the time interval button on the toolbar across the top of the page you can then select from a drop- down list of different time frames you wish to view if the time frame you are looking for is not on the list you can add it using the function at the bottom of the list simply type the number that represents the time frame you want choose the time interal you need and click add your new time frame will now be added to your list you can also favor any of the time frames on the list so that they appear on the toolbar itself rather than having to click the drop- down list do this by clicking the star icon next to any of the time frames you wish to make a favorite to zoom in and out on a chat you can either use the scroll scroll wheel on your mouse to scroll in and out of the chart you are looking at alternatively you can use the zoom in tool on the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen once selected simply draw a box around the area of price action you want to zoom in on and it will zoom in on that area for you to return to the previous View click the zoom out button on the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen Pro tip if you find yourself struggling to get the price data to fit on the screen well after zooming in or out on the charts double click the price axis and this will quickly enable the autofit feature it will resize the chart data to fit the screen you can then either right click on the price axis and turn this off again or just make a slight change to the price axis by clicking and dragging on it and this will also turn the autofit feature off you can have more than one chart on your screen at the same time by using the chart layout button you will need to have one of the paid accounts in order to use this feature to change the chat layout click the the button in the top right corner of the screen you will then be able to choose from a list of different layouts again this list will be restricted based on your account type for demonstration purposes I will change mine to a two chart layout to make changes to one chart simply click on the chart you want to make changes to so you can see a blue outline around the chart you can now change the market add indicators add drawings and so on you can also apply a variety of syncs to all the charts in your layout by heading back back to the Chart layout menu using the toggle switches at the bottom you can sync the charts based on symbol shown time interval used crossair location time and date range if you are unsure what any of these syns do you can hover over the ey icon to find out you can work around the chat layout restriction by opening each of the chats you want to have open on different web browser tabs and even arranging them over one screen if needed although this method is obviously a little cumbersome to scroll back on any of the charts simply left click on the chart and drag as mentioned previously if you have the autof fits data to screen enabled the chart scale will change as you scroll back through the past data again to turn this off right click in the price scale on the right hand side of the chart and select autof fits data to screen you can enable time syncing on the chart so that as you scroll back on one the other Scrolls back to the same position providing it showing the same Market to enable this click the chart layout button on the toolbar across the top of the screen and toggle the time sync button you can see as I scroll back on the higher time frame chart the lower time frame chart will jump to the point I have clicked this works both ways you can also use this feature to sync all charts to the same symble interval crossair and date range using the toggle switches at the bottom of the menu you can access a variety of drawing tools and Studies by using the menu on the left hand side of the screen clicking the small Arrow toggle on the side of each button will show different tools available under each section the trendline tools button has tools such as standard trend lines vertical lines horizontal lines extended lines and channels the Ganon Fibonacci tools button has all the Gan and Fibonacci tools you'll ever need the patterns button has different tools for identifying important patterns The Head and Shoulders tool for example lets you plot the pattern very quickly without having to do this manually using other tools the projection and measurements button has a host of tools for measuring price movement and plotting price movement predictions the most commonly used are the long and short position tools that let you plot trades on the chart so you can easily see the wrist reward ratio as well as other details the brushes arrows and shapes button has a brush tool highlighter as well as a variety of different arrows and shapes you can use the text button has different tools and shapes for adding text notes to the charts finally the icons button provides a vast array of different icons that can be dragged onto the chat repositioned and resized if you make a mistake when plotting a drawing or study or you move modify or delete one by accident you can use the undo button on the toolbar across the top of the screen this will undo your last action once this has been pressed at least once the redo button to the right hand side of it will become usable if you want to redo the Last Action you just undid when plotting a drawing tool or study you will often get a menu appear that will enable you to customize that drawing tool or study in a variety of ways using this trend line as an example the corresponding menu that appears when I have the trend line selected lets me change the color thickness of the line type of line open the settings window add an alert to the tool lock the tool delete the tool and a few extra options such as cloning it and arranging whether it sits above or below any studies that are on top or below it you can also set a template for the tool if you want to have a specific look for it without having to set these settings each time you can do this the same way we made a template for the chart setting earlier by clicking the Cog icon on the menu that appears you can lock your on chart drawings and studies so that you don't accidentally modify move or delete them by clicking the P lock icon on the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen to unlock them simply click the padlock icon again you can also quickly hide all your un chart drawing and studies to show a plain chart by clicking the I icon on the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen again to show the drawings and studies again just reclick the I icon clicking the arrow toggle on this button will let you refine what elements are hidden when the button is pressed it's also possible to quickly remove all the drawings on your chart by by right clicking on the chart and selecting remove drawings all drawings will now be deleted when adding a host of drawings on your chart at once you can enable staying drawing mode so that you don't have to click the drawing tool each time you want to plot a drawing for example if I want to plot a few horizontal lines I would have to click the horizontal line tool in between placing each line but if I click the stay in drawing mode button on the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen I will now keep the horizontal line tool selected after I plot a line so that I don't need to keep clicking it between plotting each line using the magnet feature will make plotting drawing Rings where you are trying to use specific points of a candle much easier as the cursor will snap to the key points when hovering near them this is particular useful when plotting horizontal lines of support and resistance for example the magnet has two settings strong and weak weak will only snap to key price points when the cursor is near one whereas strong will snap to the closest key Point all the the time regardless of where the cursor is to turn this feature off at any time just click the magnet icon again so that it is UNH highlighted you can also hold the control button on your keyboard when plotting any drawing tools and this will enable the strong magnet feature whilst you hold the control button down I find this shortcut saves me a lot of time you can change the visibility of your drawings and studies so that they are only visible on certain time frames this will stop the drawings and studies that are plotted on the 5- minute chart for example from clogging up the higher time frame view as the drawing or study will likely have no relevance on say a daily chart to do this right click on the drawing or study and hover over the visibility on intervals option you can then select how you want that drawing or study to be shown on the other intervals by clicking the appropriate option using the drawing sync button on the left hand side of the screen you can decide if you'd like any drawings to be sync to all applicable charts in the layout all layouts on your account or no sync at all to turn this off simply click the icon so it's not highlighted to use the ruler tool simply click the ruler icon on the toolbar on the left hand side of the screen you can also quickly access the ruler tool by holding the shift button on your keyboard and left clicking on the chart once selected click where you want to start measuring from and drag to the point you want to measure to and click again you will now have a box connecting the two points and a dialog box with some information inside the top left number is the distance in points or Pips between the two points the second number in Brackets is the percentage of the overall Market that the distance measured represents the Third number is simply the number of ticks between the two points so essentially the points or Pips distance without the decimal place the number below these is the amount of candles or bars the two points have been measured over the number next to this is the total time measured between the start and end point of the measurement and the last number shows the total volume for the price action measured if volume is enabled to add indicators to any of your charts simply click the indicators button on the toolbar across the top of your screen a dialog box will then appear with a whole host of indicators to choose from you can use the search function in the top left corner of the box to quickly find an indicator you are looking for the results of your search will appear in the Box on the right hand side the list below the search box shows different libraries of indicators the my scripts tab will show you any indicator scripts you have made yourself the technicals tab will show you all the technical indicators that come with trading view in here you'll find indicators such as Ballinger bands macd moving averages average true range Etc the financials tab will show you all the financial indicators you can add to your chart such as total revenue earnings per share Etc the community scripts tab will show you all the indicator scripts that have been published by other users of the trading View Community by default it will show you the editor's picks but you can use the search box to find any listed in the library for example I made an open high low close indicator a number of years ago and simply searching open high low close will bring this up once you have found the indicator you want to add to the chat simply click on the name in the list and it will be added to your chat you should be able to see the indicator title in the top left corner of the screen if you have this feature enabled you can also see all the indicators currently on your chart by opening the data window panel by clicking the data window button on the right hand side of the screen you should see any indicators you've added on the bottom of this panel you can make changes to an indicator in both these locations the I icon will quickly hide the indicator without completely removing it from your chart the Cog icon will open the settings dialog box so you can amend any settings you want for the indicator using the moving average as an example I can change the key settings for the ma such as length source and offset I can also change the style settings for it by clicking the style tab the visibility tab lets me choose which time frames the indicator is visible on the source code button will open the pine editor window at the bottom of the screen and show you the source code for the indicator the small cross button lets you quickly remove the indicator from your chart you can also change a host of other options by clicking the three small dots button this will then let you do things like add an alert to the indicator indicator templates enable you to quickly change the indicators you have on chart at the click of a button to demonstrate how this works I'm going to take this blank chart and add a simple moving average exponential moving average and the RSI indicator to it then if I click the indicator templates button on the toolbar across the top of the screen I can create a new indicator template by pressing save indicator template it will then ask me to give the template a name you can also opt to have a particular template tied to a certain Market or a certain time frame interval by checking either the remember symbol tick box or the interval tick box you can then quickly change a chart to this template by clicking the indicator template button and selecting your new save template from the list that appears you can also click the little star icon next to any template to favorite that template and you will see a quick button appear next to the indicator template button to make applying that template even easier if you ever need to delete any of your indicator templates simply click the indicators template button and click the little X icon next to the template you want to delete it will ask you to confirm you want to delete the template before doing so you can easily take screenshots of your chats by pressing the screenshot camera button in the top right corner of the chat screen pressing this button will then give you the option of downloading the image to your computer or device copying the image so you can paste it elsewhere copying a link that will load the screenshot opening the screenshot in a new tab or tweeting the screenshot this is a very handy feature if you like to journal your trades you can either use the save or copy option if you like to insert the images directly into your journal or if you use a journal like the premium journals I have made you can easily insert the URL into the journal so that you can access the screenshots at the click of a button I'll leave a link to a video in the description covering these journals if you want to know more about them trading view allows you to make what they call layouts confusingly these are not the same as chart layouts think of them as completely different workspaces inside trading view they can be accessed by clicking the layout button in the top right corner of the screen once pressed you will see by default you will have a chat layout called unnamed you can rename this layout by clicking the rename option and entering the new name in the dialogue box that appears you can also make a copy of this layout and Export the chart data using the options below to create a new layout click the new layout button and a new trading view tab will open with your new layout opened again by default this will be called unnamed however you will notice that all your charts will have now gone back to their original settings without drawings or indicators added this is because layouts allow you to have completely separate workspaces inside trading view this enables you to have different analysis methods very easily accessible without having to fully change your charts each time instead you can just set up as many different layouts as you need and move between them as required because trading view is a web browser based platform it's very easy to arrange your charts over multiple monitors as all you have to do is open the platform on different tabs and drag each one to the desired screen to connect your broker account to your trading view account simply click the trading panel button on the toolbar along the bottom of the screen this will open the trading panel at the bottom of the screen with a selection of brokers available trading view only integrates with a limited number of brokers so if your broker isn't listed in the trading panel then you will not be able to trade directly from the trading View Window however trading view will almost certainly be better than the platform your broker offers so you can still use trading view for your analysis and then just Place trades on your broker platform click the broker you have an account with or want to open account with and follow the instructional dialogue boxes to log into your broker account I use active trades and will'll use my account with them for this tutorial if you're interested in open an account with active trades I will leave a link to do so in the description box below trading view has a built-in paper trading account that you can use once you have an account with them to use this

to connect to this account simply press the connect button and your trading view account will now be connected to the paper trading account any trade you enter from here will be placed on this simulated account this is extremely useful for familiarizing yourself with trading view without the worry of making any mistakes the paper trading account is also a brilliant demo account as all your results can be viewed right from within the trading view screen there are a few ways to open a trade within trading view first you can click the trade button on the toolbar across the bottom of the screen this will bring up a trade entry dialog box alternatively you can right click on the chat and click trade this will then give you the option of opening the new trade panel or quickly setting a

limit or stop market orders will be executed at the current market price you then set the position size as you can see on the screen I am using my active trades account this particular account is a spread but account so requires an amount per point for the position size so I need to enter the amount I want to trade per pip or Point other accounts may use lots for the position size so you would

configure The Styling of it you can also change which time frames the text note is visible on by clicking the visibility tab across the top of the dialogue box this is a great feature as a text note that is well positioned on the 5 minute time frame for example will just block the price action on a higher time frame which makes journaling using this method very difficult the replay feature in trading view allows you to replay candles one by one to simulate past price movement in a way that is close to a live environment to use the replay tool you simply select it from the toolbar across the top of the screen this will open a small toolbar at the bottom of the screen with a few controls first you need to pick the point where you want the replay to start from you can do this by selecting the jump two tool from from the replay toolbar this may already be pre-selected when you click the replay button once selected you will see a blue vertical line as you hover over the price action simply click on the candle you want the replayer to start from and the succeeding price action will disappear now the other controls will become usable on the replay toolbar the play button will start playing the candles at the speed set by the speed setting menu the forward button will immediately print the next candle the two real time button will take take you to the current live price action and the cross button will close the replay mode there are a couple of things to be aware of with the replay mode you cannot use the replay tool on more than one chart at a time also there may be a limit on how far back the replay tool will let you go I don't know categorically but it may be worth checking if this is important to you trading view has now added Market screeners that can

of different shortcuts that make using the platform even easier to see the full list of shortcuts the platform has click the account button in the top left corner of the screen then click keyboard

clicking support ticket in the top right corner and completing the form I have been using trade trading view as my main charting platform for many years now and I personally think it's the best charting platform available at the moment when considering the cost of the platform for the features and functionality you get I don't think there is another platform that beats it there may be more feature platforms available but these tend to be very expensive e signal is one that comes to mind its monthly fees are close to the annual fees for trading view I have used a variety of platforms over the years including metatrader 4 metatrader 5 Pro real time ninja Trader ease signal and trading view is definitely the most intuitive and easy to ouse platform I have ever used I also think that the platform developers take care to understand exactly what the traders that use the platform want to see which for me is much appreciated that said if you are still very new to trading I think mt4 is still a good place to start if you want to the vast majority of Brokers offer an mt4 integration meaning you can log into your account and place trades directly from the mt4 platform this is only only possible with a few select Brokers for trading view if this is something that is important to you obviously this doesn't stop you conducting your chart analysis on trading View and then placing your trades with your broker through another platform like mt4 I'll put a link to my mt4 desktop and mobile tutorials in the description box if that's something you're interested in another huge benefit for me is the remote access to trading view this means that if I do any chat analysis on a chart from my desktop that same analysis will be accessible from my laptop as everything is saved via the cloud all I need to do is log into my trading view account from another device and my analysis will be there this even works on a mobile device like an iPhone this obviously isn't possible with the likes of mt4 where everything is saved locally to the machine it's installed on as I mentioned at the start of the video if you sign up using my affiliate Link in the description you will get $15 towards any paid plan you purchase it doesn't matter if you plan on just trying the free account and change your mind later down the line You'll you still get the $15 if you signed up with the link so make sure you don't miss out on the saving and that wraps up this trading view tutorial I hope it's been useful and enabled you to start utilizing trading view if you have any questions or recommendations please let me know in the comments section below thanks again and stay disciplined
