Technical indicators library: all the built-ins in SuperCharting
The technical indicators library in SuperCharting: TradingView-style built-ins, strategies, profiles and patterns, with favourites, templates and search.
SuperCharting's technical indicators library lives in one dialog, Indicators, metrics, and strategies, opened from the Indicators button at the top of the chart or by pressing the / key. It lists the same built-in names TradingView uses, from Relative strength index and MACD to volume profiles and chart patterns, and adding one takes a single click. Your favourites, your own scripts and scripts shared by other users sit in the same dialog.
What the built-in library contains
The Technicals section has five chips across the top. The counts below are the lists the dialog shows today:
| Chip | What it lists | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Indicators | Oscillators, moving averages, bands, volume and trend tools | 127 |
| Strategies | Ready-made strategies for the Strategy Tester | 23 |
| Profiles | Volume profiles and time price opportunity | 8 |
| Patterns | Auto chart patterns and candlestick patterns | 64 |
| Options | Options Volume Profile | 1 |
The Indicators chip runs from 24-hour volume and Accumulation/distribution to Williams percent range, Woodies CCI and Zigzag. It covers the everyday tools (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastic, Average true range, Ichimoku cloud, Parabolic SAR, Supertrend, Volume-weighted average price) and the less common ones: Chande Kroll stop, Know sure thing, McGinley dynamic, RCI ribbon, Relative volume at time, Seasonality, Technical ratings and Moon phases.
Where TradingView publishes an indicator's source, the built-in is that open-source script, so the inputs, colours and default values match what you know. Some scripts TradingView does not publish, such as the volume profiles, the auto chart patterns, Auto key levels, Auto trendlines, VWAP Auto Anchored and the Rob Booker scripts. For those, SuperCharting has written its own versions that work the same way. A few rows carry a Beta or New badge (Auto key levels, Auto trendlines, Auto trend detector, Options Volume Profile).
The Fundamentals section, under Built-In, holds SuperCharting's own order-flow and profile studies: Delta Bubbles, Footprint / Cluster, Liquidity Heatmap, Volume Profile (VPVR), Market Profile (TPO) and Signals & Trend Score. They are built from candles, not single trades, so any buy and sell split they show is an estimate made from each candle.
How to add an indicator in SuperCharting
- Open a chart, for example NSE:RELIANCE on the 1D interval.
- Click Indicators in the top toolbar, or press /.
- In the sidebar pick Technicals, then the Indicators chip.
- Type in the Search box. A short name works too: "rsi" finds Relative strength index, "bb" finds Bollinger Bands, "atr" finds Average true range.
- Click the row. A message confirms the indicator was added, and it appears on the price pane or in a new pane below.
- Hover the indicator's name in the chart legend. The buttons there hide it, open Settings, remove it, or open the More menu.
The search only filters the list you are looking at. If the dialog opened on Favorites, switch to Technicals first. Strategies are found under the Strategies chip, not under Indicators.
A chart can carry up to 50 indicators. The 51st is refused with a plain message asking you to remove one first.
Favourites and the quick menu
Hover any row and click the star on its left to add it to favourites. Click the star again to remove it. Once you have at least one favourite, three things change:
- The dialog opens on the Favorites section instead of Technicals.
- A small chevron appears next to the Indicators button. It opens a Favorite Indicators menu, so you can add an indicator without opening the dialog.
- The legend More menu of an indicator on the chart offers Add this indicator to favorites or Remove this indicator from favorites.
Favourites are saved to your account, so they follow you to another browser or a phone.
Changing settings after you add an indicator
Click the gear in the legend, or choose Settings… in the More menu. The dialog's title is the indicator's short name and it has these tabs:
- Inputs: lengths, sources, multipliers and options, for example RSI Length or StdDev. Changes show on the chart straight away.
- Style: a row per plot with colour, thickness and plot style (Line, Step line, Histogram, Columns, Circles, Cross, Area). Band lines such as RSI's 70 and 30 have an editable value. There is also Precision, Labels on price scale and Values in status line.
- Visibility: the intervals on which the indicator is drawn.
- Properties: strategies only, with capital, order size, commission and slippage.
Cancel puts everything back the way it was. Defaults then Reset settings returns the indicator to its original values. Settings are saved with your chart layout.
To keep a whole set of indicators with their settings, save it as an indicator template. To feed one indicator's line into another, see indicators on indicators.
Your own scripts and community scripts
The Personal group in the sidebar holds:
- My scripts: indicators and strategies you saved in the Script Editor. If you have none yet, the Create script button opens the editor. The Pine script editor guide explains how to write and save one.
- Invite-only: scripts other users have shared with you by name.
- Purchased: empty for now. SuperCharting has no store for paid scripts yet.
The Community group lists scripts users have published, under Editors' picks, Top and Trending. Each row shows the author and boost count. Hovering a row shows Source code and Read more buttons, and clicking the row adds the script to the chart. You can also browse them on the scripts page. Marketplace is not available yet.
On a phone
On a narrow screen the dialog fills the screen. The sidebar becomes a drop-down picker above the list, and the chips scroll sideways. Search, favourite stars and one-tap adding work the same as on a desktop.
Frequently asked questions
Are these the same indicators as on TradingView?
The names and lists follow TradingView's built-ins. Where TradingView publishes the source, SuperCharting runs that open-source script. Where it does not, SuperCharting uses its own version written to behave the same way. Small differences in values are possible.
Why can't I see the Source code of a built-in?
The legend's Source code button opens the code of your own scripts and published community scripts. For a built-in it shows a message saying it has no script source to open there.
Can I set different default settings for an indicator?
The Defaults menu has a Save as default item. Right now, adding the indicator again still starts from its standard values. To reuse your settings reliably, save an indicator template, or copy the indicator to another chart with Copy and Ctrl + V.
How do I set an alert on an indicator?
Open the indicator's More menu and choose Add alert on …. The condition list shows the alerts the script defines. The price alerts guide covers triggers and expiry.
