# Configure TradingView

## General

### Disable “arguments”

The arguments represent all the options that you can modify such as: the argument of the length of a moving average is a number. All these arguments will appear next to the name of your indicators and you can deactivate them.

Click the three-dot menu, then “Settings.” A window appears and in the “Status Line” tab, you can deactivate the “arguments”.

### Disable “values”

You can also disable the values returned by the indicators for more clarity on your charts.

The values can be important if you are backtesting strategies with multiple indicators. It is not always easy to see on which candle a cross takes place, etc.

## Trend Candles

The Trend Candles indicator has its own logic, in addition to coloring the candles it will add them to the chart. It is recommended to remove those offered by TradingView.

Go to the graphic charter settings:

In the first tab you can deactivate the bodies, contours and wicks of the candles.

## Automated scripts

Attention ! Automated scripts may have bugs, errors, lags, etc. Even if we take the greatest care to the quality of our scripts, we are dependent on known flaws in the TradingView language: PineScript.

You can lighten your charts by removing the position name (Signal Labels) and/or the position size (Quantity).&#x20;

Go to settings, then style:

## Tips

### Save all the settings of a strategy in 1 image

Start by reducing the size of your chart so that you can place the strategy settings window on the right.

Open Settings, move the window to the right and take a screenshot.&#x20;

You now have all the information you need to return to your backtests.

### Keyboard shortcuts

There is no need to learn them by heart, I recommend that you learn them one by one.

You can start with the 2 most important in my opinion:

* Move graph left/right: Shift+Mouse wheel,
* Focused Zoom: Control/Command + Mouse Wheel.
