Creating Your TradingView Account
Go to tradingview.com and sign up with email or Google. The free plan works for learning but limits you to 1 indicator per chart and 5 alerts. For serious trading with Quantum Algo, the Essential plan ($14.95/月) gives you 2 indicators per chart and 20 alerts. The Plus plan ($29.95/月) is optimal with 5 indicators and 100 alerts.
Chart Setup for SMC Trading
Color scheme: Dark mode is easier on the eyes for extended screen time. Go to Chart Settings → Appearance → select dark theme. Candle colors: Green/red or cyan/red work best. Avoid unusual colors that make it harder to read structure. Grid: Turn off the grid for cleaner charts — Chart Settings → Appearance → uncheck Grid Lines.
多时间框架 Layout
The ideal SMC layout shows 2-3 timeframes simultaneously. Click the layout button (top-right) and select a 2-column layout. Left panel: your higher timeframe (4H for 日内交易). Right panel: your 入场 timeframe (15M). Some traders add a third panel for the daily chart. Keep your Quantum Algo indicator on all panels for consistent analysis.
Adding Quantum Algo
After subscribing and providing your TradingView username, your invite arrives with仅需几分钟. Click 指标s (top toolbar) → Invite-Only Scripts → find Quantum Algo. Click to add it to your chart. The indicator loads with default settings that work well for most assets. For customization, check the Quantum Algo设置指南.
Setting Up Alerts
Alerts are 必备 so you don't need to stare at charts all day. Right-click on any Quantum Algo 信号 and select "Add Alert." Set the alert to 触发 once, with notification via app push notification and email. Create alerts for: OB retest, FVG 入场 zone reached, BOS 确认, and 流动性扫荡 detected. This lets you work, sleep, or trade other assets while Quantum Algo watches your key levels.
Watchlist Organization
Create separate watchlists for each market: 加密货币 Majors (BTC, ETH, SOL), 外汇 Majors (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY), 黄金 & 大宗商品 (XAUUSD), and 指数 (NAS100, SPX500). During your pre-session analysis, scan each watchlist for 设置s rather than randomly clicking through symbols.
