User Defined Default Indicators and Chart Settings Templates --- Chart Settings & Indcators

Feature Request

I trade Session Starts and for that I need 5 indicators

6ma
50ma
200ma
FVG
Sessions

I also have a preferred set of chart settings. I use the 1min, 5min, 1hr and 4hr charts. At the start of every project I have to set up all of the above x4 charts it takes me about 20-30mins to do so.

Is there any chance your team could concentrate all of its efforts on being able to overwrite save over the default settings so when users x 1000 open/begin a new project it opens with their preffered default settings?

Everytime i begin to back test I have to do this and by the time im finished setting up everything im half wondering what i was going to back test 30 mins ago. Lets think about this in time saved, this is what back testing is all about, saving time, so say it takes the average user 10-15mins to set up each new project to their liking times 10 projects that is 150mins now times that x 1000 users is 150,000 minutes aka 2500 hours or 104 days

I hope you can see the importance of this time saving feature and divert your resources to creating it.

Trading view has this exact feature, here

    Hello @Martyn Watters! Thank you for sharing your feedback and insights!

    We understand the importance of saving time in backtesting and can see how a feature to save default chart settings and indicators would streamline your workflow significantly. This kind of customization—allowing users to set and save their preferred chart and indicator settings as the default for new projects—would indeed save time for a large number of users.
    Currently, you can save the chart color settings as a template and apply this template to each chart (see screenshot below).

    I hope this will save your time.

    Regarding saving indicators, now you can also save an indicator template, but saving multiple indicators in a chart template is not yet available.

    We will definitely pass your suggestion on to our development team for consideration.

    We’re always looking for ways to improve our platform and enhance the user experience, and feedback like yours is invaluable in helping us prioritize new features.

    In the meantime, please let us know if there’s anything else we can assist you with, and thank you again for your detailed input!
