3.5 Playbook 5 – Customize Indicators & Layout

1 min read

Goal: Personalize your charts for clarity and speed. Tune built-in indicators, create custom indicators with the script editor, and save layouts for instant recall.

Part A – Customize a Built-In Indicator (No Code) #

Prerequisites: Open the Trading space and load any symbol (e.g., BTCUSDT).

Add the Indicator

  1. Open the Indicators panel (bottom tab under the chart).
  2. Search for an indicator (e.g., Moving Average, RSI, Bollinger Bands).
  3. Click Add (+)—the indicator appears on the chart.

Open Indicator Properties

  1. Hover over the indicator label on the chart.
  2. Click the gear icon to open settings.

Adjust Inputs & Style

  • Inputs/Parameters:
    • Period length, source (close/open/hl2), smoothing type, multipliers, etc.
  • Style/Appearance:
    • Line color & width, bands/fills on/off, histogram vs line.
  • Placement:
    • Check/uncheck Overlay on price or move to a separate pane.
  • Visibility:
    • Choose which timeframes show this indicator (if available).

Manage & Clean Up

  • Hide/Show: Click the eye icon next to the indicator name.
  • Delete: Click the trash icon (in legend or sub-pane header).
  • Re-order: Drag pane headers to rearrange stacked indicators.

Reuse on Other Charts

  • Fastest method: Save your Layout (see Part C below).
  • Some indicators may support presets (“Save as default”)—use them when available.

Pro tip: Keep overlay indicators minimal on small timeframes. Push oscillators (RSI/MACD) into their own panes for readability.

■ Try it now: Add a 20-period Bollinger Bands indicator, change the color to blue, increase line width to 2, then hide and unhide it using the eye icon.

Part B – Create a Custom Indicator (Code) #

This is a quick overview—complex indicators deserve a dedicated tutorial with full function reference and concepts.

Open the Script Editor Navigate to Indicators → + New Script (may appear as New).

Write Your Logic (JavaScript-like)

  1. Read OHLC/volume series.
  2. Call built-in functions (e.g., MA, EMA, RSI).
  3. Output one or more plots to render on the chart.
  4. Scripts run in a sandbox and behave like any other indicator.

Save & Apply

  1. Click Save/Compile.
  2. Click Add to chart.
  3. The script appears in My Indicators and can be reused.

■ Try it now: Create a simple script that plots a 10-period EMA, save it, and add it to your chart.

Part C – Arrange & Save Your Layout (Workspace) #

Multi-Chart Views

  1. Click the layout/grid icon in the chart toolbar.
  2. Choose 2, 3, or 4 panes.
  3. Assign a different symbol or timeframe to each pane.
  4. Drag borders to resize panes.

Panels & Watchlist

  1. Toggle bottom panels (Indicators, Orders, Positions, Brokers).
  2. Use the Watchlist on the right side.
  3. Drag its edge to resize.

Save & Recall

  1. Click Layout → Save (or disk icon).
  2. Name your layout (e.g., “Swing Trading,” “Scalping Setup”).
  3. Later, use Layout → Load to recall instantly.

Appearance

  1. Toggle Dark/Light mode in the top bar.
  2. Deeper theme controls may vary by plan—always keep charts readable (high contrast).

■ Try it now: Create a 2-pane layout with BTCUSDT on 1H and 4H, add indicators to both, save it as “Multi-Timeframe BTC,” then reload it to test.
