Using a script on a chart

  1. 1
    Save the script

    Scripts must be saved to your account before a chart can use them.

  2. 2
    Add it from the chart

    On a chart, open Indicators and choose it under My scripts.

  3. 3
    Set its inputs

    Each chart keeps its own input values, independent of the defaults in the editor.
