TradingView FAQs

Question 1

What is TradingView and its primary function?

Accepted Answer

TradingView is a lightweight server designed to generate high-quality chart snapshots from TradingView. Its core function is to ensure continuous access to visual market data, even when TradingView is inaccessible, by providing an automatic MetaTrader 5 fallback.

Question 2

How does it ensure charts are always available, even if TradingView is down?

Accepted Answer

The tool prioritizes fetching charts from TradingView. If TradingView fails or a symbol isn't found, it seamlessly switches to an automatic MetaTrader 5 fallback. It fetches live OHLC data from MT5 and renders a candlestick chart using Lightweight Charts, guaranteeing you always get a visual representation of market data.

Question 3

Is this tool resource-intensive?

Accepted Answer

No, it's designed for efficiency. By utilizing Playwright in headless mode with persistent browser sessions, it consumes approximately 150MB of RAM, making it a very lightweight solution for browser automation and chart generation.

Question 4

Can I customize the generated charts?

Accepted Answer

Yes, charts are highly customizable. You can configure dimensions (width, height), time intervals (e.g., '1', 'D', 'W'), and themes ('dark' or 'light') to suit your specific visualization needs for both TradingView and MT5 fallback charts.

Question 5

Does it require a TradingView account to function?

Accepted Answer

A TradingView account and session cookies are required for direct TradingView chart snapshots. However, the tool also offers an 'offline OHLC chart rendering' feature that works with any provided OHLC data without a TradingView session, and the MT5 fallback uses separate MT5 credentials.
