Get special shortcuts in TradingView to become a better trader

Create your own shortcuts

You can create your own shortcuts by clicking "Enable self-made shortcuts". Now you can assign any key on your keyboard to any other key on your keyboard. This also works for key combinations and modifier keys like Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Caps Lock, Spacebar etc. For example: If you're someone who uses the Fib Retracement tool all the time, you can assign the key combination Alt+F (which natively triggers the Fib Retracement tool) to the key "x". So now, every time you press "x", the Fib Retracement tool will be activated. You can add an infinite amount of self-made shorcuts to your TradingView and you can enable/disable them at any time.

Disable default behavior of spacebar

A lot of users hate that the spacebar moves you to the next symbol in your symbol list. This feature gives you the ability to disable this default behavior, so that pressing the spacebar doesn't do anything anymore! You can toggle this feature on/off whenever you want.

Cancel all orders with Shift+A

You can cancel all orders by pressing the "Shift+A" keys. A small popup will appear and after a few seconds, all orders will be cancelled.

Gamer Shortcuts using wasd-keys (lowercase!)

Move through your charts like a gamer! If there's a shortcut you would like to see, let me know and I'll do my best to add it.

• 'd'-key: Move to the next interval in your favorite interval list
• 'a'-key: Move to the previous interval in your favorite interval list
• 'w'-key: Move up one symbol in your watchlist
• 's'-key: Move down one symbol in your watchlist

Note that the keys must be pressed in lowercase! If you use "WASD" as uppercase letters, the shortcuts will not work.

Left/Right arrow keys to cycle through time frames

Use the left arrow and right arrow keys to cycle through the favorite time frames. This feature is especially useful when you want to quickly switch between different time frames without having to use your mouse.

Enable vertical scrolling with SHIFT key (my personal favorite)

Press the SHIFT key and scroll with your mouse/trackpad in order to activate VERTICAL scrolling. Vertical scrolling is the type of scrolling that you natively get when you drag the prices axis up/down with your mouse. This enhances and speeds up your charting considerably.

Enable "Stop Order Trading" (for NQ only)

Activate this option to trade breakouts or breakdowns. Once enabled, you can pick between single-candle and multi-candle mode. Single-candle mode: You click one candle, then you click on the custom long/short button and after that, the extension automatically places a long/short breakout/breakdown trade in the following way: the stop entry is 0.25 above/below the swing high/low. The stop loss is 0.25 above/below the swing high/low. You can define the 'USD Risk' and 'Take Profit' in the popup. This allows for quick scalping of very low time frames by automating about 12 clicks that you'd have to make manually.
