TRADINGVIEW RESOURCES

TradingView Trading Guides,
Indicators & Resources

I’ve been trading futures on TradingView for years, and along the way I’ve built an entire library of custom indicators and platform guides based on what actually works in live markets. This page is your starting point for everything TradingView-related on Trend Friend. From the indicator suites I’ve built for my own trading, to the platform tutorials I wish existed when I was getting started.

Whether you’re setting up TradingView for the first time or looking for tools to sharpen your edge, everything here comes from real trading experience. No recycled content. No generic advice. Just the stuff I actually use and the guides I’ve built to help other traders get the most out of the platform.

CUSTOM INDICATOR SUITES

Custom TradingView Indicator Suites

I started building indicators because the ones available on TradingView weren’t doing what I needed. Most community indicators are based on simple moving average crossovers or lagging oscillators. They look great on historical charts but fall apart in real-time. So I built my own.

Every indicator in the Trend Friend lineup is designed around the way I actually trade: fast entries, clear signals, and tools that help you read what the market is doing right now rather than what it did 20 candles ago. I test everything on live futures markets before publishing, and I’m constantly refining the algorithms based on real trading performance.

There are two paid suites and a library of free indicators, each built for different types of traders:

10 Indicators

Premium Indicator Suite

The Premium Suite is built for traders who want reliable buy and sell signals, automated support and resistance levels, and trend detection across any market. It includes 10 indicators covering signals, volume analysis, trend identification, and supply and demand mapping. Works on any TradingView plan.

Starting at $39.99/month

PLATFORM GUIDES

TradingView Platform Guides

TradingView is one of the most powerful charting platforms available, but a lot of traders barely scratch the surface of what it can do. I’ve put together a collection of platform guides covering the features and workflows that make the biggest difference in your trading. From setting up paper trading accounts to configuring multi-chart layouts and building watchlists that actually help you find trades.

Each guide walks through the setup step by step with screenshots from TradingView, so you can follow along on your own charts.

TRADINGVIEW PLANS

TradingView Plan Discounts

Choosing the right TradingView plan matters, especially if you want access to features like tick-level data for order flow analysis or multi-chart layouts for monitoring several markets. Those higher tiered plans can be expensive though so I put together a guide on how and when to get the biggest discounts on TradingView plans to help you save some money when you upgrade.
