Troubleshooting
The fastest fixes for the issues we see most often. If your problem isn't here, email support@simplealgo.io with your TradingView username and a screenshot.
Common issues#
Open a chart, click Indicators, then the Invite-only scripts tab. SimpleAlgo appears there once access is granted. Access is tied to the exact TradingView username you submitted — check for typos and re-submit it in your dashboard if needed, then refresh TradingView.
Log out of TradingView and back in, then reload the chart. If it still isn't in Invite-only scripts, re-submit your username in the dashboard — a re-submit forces a fresh grant. Still stuck? Email support@simplealgo.io with your TradingView username.
Most often the Chop Filter is doing its job — check the Dashboard's Market row. If it says Choppy, the market is not trending and signals are intentionally suppressed. You can also try a lower timeframe or a more reactive Sensitivity mode.
Move Sensitivity toward Swing Trader, raise the Chop Filter threshold to 20-25, use a higher timeframe, and only act on 75%+ conviction.
Labels only stay on confirmed bars. If price closed back through the trend line before the candle finished, the signal was never valid. Always wait for the bar close — this is by design and is what prevents repainting.
Free TradingView plans allow three indicators per chart. Remove others, or upgrade your TradingView plan. SimpleAlgo itself works on a free plan.
Turn off overlays you're not using — Smart Money, S&R Zones and Trend Cloud are the heaviest. Also reduce your browser tab count; TradingView is memory hungry.
Set Account Size to your real balance and Risk per Trade % to 1-2%. A dash means no trade is currently active (Signal row shows WAITING) or the stop distance could not be computed yet.
Change its corner in Display → Dashboard position, or turn it off entirely.
Set the alert trigger to Once Per Bar Close. Once Per Bar fires mid-candle on conditions that can still change.
Someone changed Bull / Bear / Accent in Display. Open settings and click Defaults → Reset settings to restore the SimpleAlgo palette.
Entry · SL · TP levels are replaced on each new signal, and S&R / Smart Money zones delete themselves once price closes through them. That's intended — broken levels are no longer valid.
