Five chart tools to understand on TradingView
Use tools for a defined analytical purpose. Features, indicator access and script availability depend on the provider and subscription plan.
1. Exponential moving averages
An EMA gives greater weight to more recent prices. Periods such as 21 and 50 can illustrate different time horizons; neither a crossover nor a price touch guarantees follow-through. Keep the period choice consistent when comparing setups.
2. Relative Strength Index
RSI is a momentum oscillator. Overbought and oversold readings describe the indicator’s state and can persist during trends. Readings or divergence are not sufficient proof of a reversal.
3. Volume-weighted average price
VWAP combines price and available volume data over a defined anchor or session. Check the data source, especially for OTC products, and the anchor settings. It does not represent a universal market price for every venue.
4. Average True Range
ATR summarises recent true ranges. It is a volatility measure, not a prediction of the next move or its direction. A chosen ATR multiple for a stop remains a strategy assumption to evaluate, not protection against slippage or gaps.
5. Supply and demand zone scripts
Community scripts can mark areas using different rules. Check the author’s documentation, update behaviour and whether past plots can change. Compare zones with price structure rather than treating a drawn box as an instruction to trade.
