Indicator troubleshooting

Most indicator hiccups have a quick fix. Here are the common ones and how to clear them.

The indicator doesn't show up

If you added it to your chart but can't see it:

Check overlay vs separate pane. An overlay draws on the price chart; a non-overlay plots in a separate pane below it. If you expected it on the chart but it's in a pane (or vice versa), reply in your chat: "make this an overlay" or "plot this on a separate pane."
Scroll down — a separate-pane indicator may be just below the visible chart area.
Make sure you clicked Add to chart after saving in the Pine Editor.

You get a compile error

If TradingView shows a red error in the Pine Editor:

Copy the exact error message.
Paste it back to the AI in the same chat and ask it to fix the error.

The AI can read the message and return a corrected script. Compile errors are usually a one-message fix.

💡 Tip: Double-check that the Pine version in TradingView matches the version your script was written for. See Pine v5 vs v6.

You want to add alerts

Ask the AI to add an alertcondition for the signals you care about (for example, the buy/sell crosses).
Copy the updated script into TradingView and add it to your chart.
Right-click the indicator on the chart and choose Add alert.
Pick your alert condition and finish setting it up in TradingView.

You want to start fresh

If a conversation has drifted and the script isn't going the right direction, use Clear or start a new chat to begin again with a clean slate. (See Manage indicator chats.)

Premium
