“Import data into TradingView” can mean three different tasks: displaying an external series in Supercharts, importing portfolio transactions, or supplying a datafeed to a chart embedded on your own website. These workflows are not interchangeable.

Build a custom TradingView strategy by defining conditions, position behavior and exits before interpreting its performance report. This example combines an SMA crossover with an RSI filter and illustrates a bracket exit; it does not establish a profitable setup.

A Bollinger Band squeeze describes low recent volatility relative to a chosen history. It identifies compression, not a guaranteed large move, breakout direction or higher win rate. To test it, define the measurement and entry rule before inspecting outcomes.

Use TradingView's Compare symbols control to add a second price series, then choose a scale that matches the question. Percentage comparison, separate price axes and separate panes are display options within the same workflow.

To put text beside a Pine Script line, create a line and a label at matching price coordinates. They remain separate objects: moving one does not automatically move the other. Use setters to keep a current-price annotation synchronized, or create and delete paired objects when preserving historical signals.

Resetting a TradingView Paper Trading account clears its transaction history, active orders, and open positions. Save any records you need first. If you want a separate test while preserving the existing account, creating another paper account may be a better fit.

Run Pine Script by opening TradingView's Pine Editor, creating or opening a script, saving it, and selecting Add to chart. Compilation checks the code; the chart shows its output. An indicator, a strategy backtest, and a live broker order are different things.

Create a TradingView alert by choosing its condition, trigger frequency, expiration, and notification channels, then verify the event in the alert log. Alerts run on TradingView's servers; an open browser is not required. Delivery to a phone, email inbox, or webhook endpoint is a separate step that should be tested.

A trailing stop adjusts its trigger as price moves favorably, then holds that trigger when price reverses. Whether you can place one from TradingView depends on the connected broker, account, symbol, and supported order types. A trailing-stop indicator or Pine backtest is not a live protective order.

A TradingView snapshot link shares a static chart image. A shared layout link opens an interactive chart view that the recipient can copy into their account. Choose the format first: a picture preserves what you saw at one moment, while a layout is useful for inspecting a setup.
