summary: how to connect your TradingView account, access edgeful's 50+ indicators, and use them on your charts — plus a quick overview of algo automation for all access members.
what this article covers
edgeful gives you 50+ TradingView indicators — covering everything from gap fill levels and IB ranges to previous day's range, ORB levels, session boxes, and more.
every edgeful member gets access to these indicators, on every plan (essential, pro, and all access). they plot directly on your TradingView chart so you can see the same levels and data points from edgeful's reports — right where you're actually trading.
this article walks you through connecting your account, finding the indicators, and getting them on your charts.
connecting your TradingView account
before you can load any indicators, you need to link your TradingView username to edgeful. here's how:
1) log in to edgeful and click resources at the bottom of the left navigation bar
2) under tools, click TradingView indicators
3) enter your TradingView username — you'll find it at the top left of your TradingView profile page
4) click update
that's it. once your username is saved, edgeful grants your TradingView account access to the full indicator library. it can take a few minutes to sync — if you don't see them right away, refresh TradingView.
finding edgeful indicators in TradingView
once your account is connected:
1) open TradingView and go to any chart
2) click the indicators button (or press / on your keyboard)
3) open the invite-only scripts section of the indicators panel — that's where all your edgeful indicators live (they won't show up in a general search)
4) click any indicator to add it to your chart
they'll show up under the "invite-only" section since they're tied to your linked account.
you can add as many as you want. most traders use 3–5 at a time depending on what's in play that day.
the indicator categories
edgeful's TradingView indicators map directly to the reports on the platform. here's how they're organized:
session and range indicators
market sessions — plots NY, London, and asian session boxes with high/low levels
previous day's range / previous day's range by session — yesterday's high and low as horizontal lines on your chart
previous close by session — the NY session close level
previous week's range — last week's high/low plotted as reference levels
weekly open — plots every sunday's opening price for weekly bias
breakout and range indicators
IB (initial balance) — first hour high/low with midlines and extension levels
IB by levels — extension levels (0.5x, 1.0x, 2.0x, etc.) beyond the IB range
ORB (opening range breakout) — first 15-minute range with extension and retracement zones
ORB by levels — extension levels from the opening range
power hour breakout — session range with the final hour highlighted
gap fill indicators
gap fill — detects daily gaps and marks the full fill level (the prior close), then shows when the gap has filled. it doesn't plot partial fill levels
gap fill by session — futures/forex/crypto version using the NY session close
gap fill 2.0 — plots the partial fill levels (25%, 50%, 75%) alongside the full fill automatically; each level can be switched on or off, recoloured or changed to your own percentage in the settings, and you can set the session it measures from. run it with the gap fill indicator: gap fill tracks whether the gap has closed, and 2.0 gives you the partial targets for bigger gaps
gap fill by close — the chart version of the by close subreport: marks the prior day's close and colour-codes the gap fill by whether the day went on to close green or red
gap fill by spike — the chart version of the by spike subreport: plots the gap fill level and labels how far price spiked up or down before filling, so you can see how much heat the move took. you set the session it measures from
gap fill size extensions — marks the session close with a line a set percentage above and below it, so at the open you can see straight away whether the gap is bigger than your size threshold (the same threshold you use in the by size subreport). you set the percentages and the session
pattern and level indicators
opening candle continuation — marks the first hour candle's color and range for directional bias
ICT opening retracement — plots the midnight opening price as a retracement target
ultimate reversal setup (URS) — combines previous session range, gap fill level, and midnight open into one indicator
inside bars / engulfing candles / fair value gaps — pattern recognition directly on your chart
pivot points / fibonacci by session — support and resistance levels
volume and trend indicators
VWAP suite — session and weekly volume-weighted average price
moving average suite (SMA/EMA) — configurable moving averages
ATR zones — volatility bands based on average true range
that's a lot of indicators — but you don't need to use them all at once. the best approach is matching your indicators to the reports you're already using on edgeful. if IB and gap fill are your core reports, load those indicators. if you're focused on previous day's range and ORB, load those instead.
customizing indicator settings
every edgeful indicator is customizable in TradingView. double-click the indicator on your chart (or click the gear icon) to open the settings panel.
depending on the indicator, you can adjust things like:
session times — match your trading session (NY, London, asian)
colors and line styles — fit your chart theme
extension levels — choose which IB or ORB extension levels to display
labels and visibility — show or hide level labels, price values, etc.
spend a few minutes customizing when you first add an indicator. getting the visuals clean makes a real difference — especially when you're watching multiple levels during a session.
the URS indicator — a good starting point
if you're not sure where to start, the ultimate reversal setup (URS) indicator is a solid first pick. it combines 3 things into one indicator:
previous session range (high/low) — plotted in red
previous session close / gap fill level — plotted in blue
midnight opening price — plotted in yellow
that gives you the most important context levels for the open — all in a single indicator instead of loading 3 separate ones. it's a clean way to see what the market did yesterday and where the key levels are today.
a note on algo automation
if you're on the all access plan, edgeful also supports automated trade execution through TradingView.
the short version: edgeful has algo strategies (IB, ORB, engulfing) that run as TradingView strategies (you'll see the backtest in TradingView's strategy report, formerly the strategy tester). when a signal fires, TradingView sends an alert to edgeful via webhook, and edgeful routes the order to your connected broker — Tradovate, NinjaTrader, or ProjectX.
that's a bigger topic with its own setup process. check the algos section of the help center for the full walkthrough on connecting a broker, configuring webhooks, and going live.
troubleshooting
indicators not showing up?
make sure your TradingView username is entered correctly in edgeful under resources → TradingView indicators — it's case-sensitive. after updating, give it a few minutes and refresh TradingView. if they still don't appear, log out of TradingView and log back in.
indicator looks wrong or isn't plotting?
check the session settings in the indicator. if you're trading futures, make sure you're using the "by session" version of the indicator (e.g., gap fill by session, not gap fill). the standard versions are designed for stocks/equities.
still stuck?
open a support ticket via the chat widget inside edgeful. include your TradingView username and the indicator name — that helps us troubleshoot faster.
