Customize indicators from the settings dialog on the Chart Widget where they’re applied. You can do this whether the Indicators IDE Widget is open or when you’re using only the chart. Settings are accessible in two ways:
  • Click the gear icon next to the indicator’s name above the chart.
  • For oscillators, access the same gear icon below the chart area.
When clicked, a settings panel appears for the selected indicator.

​
Inputs and Outputs

Every indicator includes two collapsible sections:

​
Inputs

Defines how the indicator calculates its values.
Typical parameters include:
  • Length – the number of periods used in the calculation.
  • Source – the data type (Close, Open, High, Low, etc.).
  • StdDev / Offset / Multiplier – depending on the indicator type.

​
Outputs

Controls the visual appearance of indicator components.
You can:
  • Change line colors and styles.
  • Adjust line thickness using a slider.
  • Toggle visibility for each output (e.g., upper/lower bands, basis line, background fill).
The number and names of output elements vary by indicator — for example, Bollinger Bands has Lower, Basis, Upper, and Background.

​
Resetting to Default

At the bottom of the settings window, you can click Reset Settings to restore the original parameters and styles.
These flexible settings let you fine-tune both the logic and the appearance of your indicators without modifying the code itself.
