    TradingView Invite-Only Script Not Showing? Here's the Fix


    TradingView Invite-Only Script Not Showing? Here's the Fix

    Invite-only scripts don't appear in the public library. Access is granted to a specific TradingView username, and the script then shows up in a separate section of your indicator list. When it doesn't, it's nearly always one of the following.

    1. You're looking in the wrong place

    Open Indicators (the fx button in the top toolbar) and look for the Invite-only scripts section in the left-hand menu. Granted scripts appear there — not under Favourites, and not in the search results for public scripts unless you type the exact name.

    Step-by-step basics: how to add an indicator.

    2. The grant went to a different username

    This is the most common cause by far. TradingView grants attach to your username, not your email address. If you supplied an email, a display name, or a username with a typo or different capitalisation of a character that isn't interchangeable, the grant landed on nobody.

    Find your exact username: click your avatar (top right) → the name shown at the top of the menu is it. Send that string, exactly as shown, to whoever issues access.

    Note

    usernames can be changed by their owner. If you renamed your TradingView account after receiving access, the old grant no longer points at you and has to be reissued.


    3. You need to refresh the session

    Grants are picked up when the chart session loads. If the script was granted while you had TradingView open:

  1. Hard-refresh the browser tab (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + R).

  2. If that fails, sign out and back in.

  3. On the mobile app, force-close and reopen it.
  4. Give it a couple of minutes — propagation isn't always instant.

    4. You're signed into a second account

    Many traders have an old account from years ago and a current one. The browser may be signed into the old one. Check the username in the avatar menu against the username you submitted, character for character.

    5. The access has expired or was revoked

    Invite-only access is usually tied to an active subscription. If billing failed, a card expired, or a subscription was cancelled, access is withdrawn and the script disappears from the list — your chart may still show it until you reload, which makes this confusing. Check the status of your subscription before assuming a technical fault.

    If it's a SimpleAlgo script

  5. Confirm the TradingView username on file matches your current one exactly — you can update it from the Hub.

  6. Confirm the subscription shows as active in the Hub.

  7. Hard-refresh TradingView and reopen the Indicators list.

  8. Still missing? Contact support@simplealgo.io with your TradingView username and the email on your account.
  9. Setup walkthrough: the V5 installation guide.

    Once it loads

    Add it to Favourites (the star beside its name in the Indicators list) so it's one click away, then save the arrangement as a chart layout or an indicator template.
