summary: how to connect your TradingView account, access edgeful's 30+ 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 30+ 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 both the essential and all access plans. 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 on your profile / account settings
2) find the TradingView username field
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) search for "edgeful" — you'll see the full list of available indicators
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, shows fill level and fill status

  • gap fill by session — futures/forex/crypto version using the NY session close

  • gap fill 2.0 — enhanced version with additional customization

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, gap fill, engulfing) that run in TradingView's 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 — 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.
