Indicators
Apply, tune, or build your own

A technical indicator is a calculation on price, volume, or open interest, drawn over the chart or in a panel of its own. Pick one from the built-in library or the marketplace, tune it without touching code, or write your own in Indie®.

​
Pick a source

Built-in library

TakeProfit’s own overlays and oscillators, ready to apply. Every script is open to inspect or edit in Indie®.

Marketplace

Indicators and strategies published by the community, free or paid, and added to a chart from the marketplace page.

Your own

Scripts you write in Indie®, by hand or with the AI assistant generating the code.

​
Add an indicator to a chart

An indicator lands on the active chart, so start by picking the chart.
  1. Step 1 of 4
    Pick the chart

    With several charts in the workspace, click the one you want so it is highlighted.

  2. Step 2 of 4
    Open the f icon

    The f icon in the chart’s top control panel opens both the built-in library and the marketplace.

  3. Step 3 of 4
    Apply one

    Pick an indicator and it is applied to the active chart, over the price or in a panel below it.

  4. Step 4 of 4
    Tune it

    Click the gear next to its name above the chart. For oscillators, the gear sits below the chart area.

​
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. Its settings panel has two sections: Reset Settings at the bottom of the panel restores the defaults. Indicator settings →

​
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.

​
Alert on an indicator

Any indicator on the chart can be the source of an alert: a line crossing a level, a value moving by a percentage, or two lines crossing each other. That includes your own scripts, as soon as they are saved to My scripts. See Alerts for the conditions and where notifications go.

​
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.

Write with AI

Describe the idea in plain words, convert a script from another platform, and have the code validated. Needs All-In or your own Anthropic API key.
The MCP server does the same from your own AI client. 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 to see how the logic behaved on past data. A backtest is not a forecast of live results.

​
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.

Good to know

  • An indicator lands on the active chart. Click the chart you want first when the workspace has several.
  • Settings don’t change the code. Inputs and outputs tune the indicator on the chart; to change its logic, fork or edit the script in the IDE.
  • Built-in scripts are open. Read the source of any built-in indicator to see how it is calculated, or start your own from it.
  • Alerts don’t need a published script. A private script saved to My scripts can already trigger alerts.
