A technical indicator on TakeProfit is a mathematical calculation based on historical price, volume, or open interest data that helps forecast market direction. Plotted directly as chart overlays or in separate panels, indicators — and full trading strategies — can be loaded from built-in libraries, built with AI, or written custom in Indie®.

Pre-built

TakeProfit’s native library of built-in overlays and oscillators, ready to apply. Every script is open to inspect or edit in Indie®.

Marketplace

Custom indicators and strategies published by the global community, available for free or purchase directly in your workspace.

Your own

Write custom scripts from scratch in Indie® — craft your logic manually or let the integrated AI assistant generate the code for you.

Strategy tester

Backtest scripts containing execution logic against historical market data to evaluate strategy performance before trading live.

​
Add an indicator to a chart

Open the ‘f’ icon in the chart’s top control panel — it gives you both the pre-built library and the marketplace. Pick an indicator and it is applied to the active chart.
With several charts in the workspace, click the target chart first so it is highlighted — the indicator lands on the active chart.

​
Use an indicator from the marketplace

All published indicators live in the Indicator Marketplace, where you can filter by Free and Paid. Free and already purchased indicators have an Add to Chart button, so you can apply one without leaving the marketplace page. If you would rather have an LLM pick for you, the MCP server can search the marketplace from your AI client.

​
Configure what you added

Every applied indicator has a gear icon next to its name above the chart; for oscillators the same icon sits below the chart area. Inputs, styles and visibility all live there. Indicator settings →

​
Build your own

When nothing in the library fits, write the indicator yourself in Indie® — the platform’s own language, close to Python:
  • Indicator code editor — the built-in IDE, with Add to Chart to test what you wrote.
  • Indie® language — syntax, data model, library reference and code examples.
  • AI Assistant and the MCP server — describe the idea in plain words, convert scripts from other platforms, or have the code validated for you.
Any open-source indicator can also be forked: click the Source Code icon on it and the IDE opens with your own copy.

​
Test a strategy

Indicators that place orders are strategies. Run them against history in the Strategy tester — it lives under Trading, since a tested strategy is what you end up trading.

​
Publish and earn

Finished indicators can be published to the marketplace — free, to grow an audience, or paid. See Sell your indicators for the revenue split and the publishing flow.
