What Actually Works
The TradingView Indicators Real Traders Swear By — and the Ones They Threw Away
A trader-sourced filter for TradingView's 100,000+ community indicators: what earns its place and what's noise.
Who it’s for: TradingView users at any level who suspect their chart has too much on it.
What’s inside
- If an indicator repaints, its backtest is fiction — here's the 30-second repaint check
- The most-used indicator among consistently profitable TradingView users is embarrassingly boring
- Paid 'algo' indicators on TradingView: what the sellers don't show you
- Your chart is a cockpit, not a Christmas tree — the 3-indicator rule
- Session volume profile does what 5 other indicators pretend to do
- Free beats paid on TradingView more often than not — the data behind that claim
Written for the moment when: 100k community scripts, no quality filter; repainting indicators that lie in backtests; paid indicator scams.
