Troubleshooting and Fixes
If your indicator is plotting values far from price, try hiding it temporarily to see if it's the culprit. If so, you can right-click the price scale and select Reset.
One common issue is having indicators in separate panes but scaled wrong. To fix this, click Select Layout and choose to Sync layout. You can also enable Drawing sync from the left toolbar to sync drawings across tabs.
If you're using percent comparison mode, the price scale might look too compressed. To fix this, right-click the price scale and select Indexed to 100 to align lines from the same starting point.
If your indicator seems to have vanished, check the Legend Toggle by clicking the downward-pointing chevron in the top-left legend. This will show or hide indicator titles and values.
In some cases, the "Indicator last value label" might be hidden under Settings → Scales. To unhide it, go to the Object Tree (right toolbar) and click the 👁️ icon.
How-to Guides
To create a custom indicator in TradingView, you need to have a TradingView account and access to the Pine Script editor.
First, log in to your TradingView account and navigate to the Pine Script editor.
The Pine Script editor is where you can write and edit custom scripts, including those that create custom indicators.
You can access the Pine Script editor by clicking on the "Pine Editor" button in the top navigation bar.
In the Pine Script editor, you can write your own custom scripts using the Pine Script language.
For example, you can use the Pine Script language to create a simple moving average indicator by using the "ma" function.
To create a custom indicator, you need to define a function that returns a value or a series of values.
For instance, you can define a function called "my_indicator" that returns the moving average of a given series.
Once you've defined your function, you can use it to create a custom indicator by calling the function and passing in the necessary arguments.

General Tips and Advice
As you start using Hide Indicators on TradingView, remember that it's essential to keep your charts clean and clutter-free to avoid visual overload.
Always save your custom layouts, so you can easily recall them and avoid recreating the same setups over and over.
Keep in mind that Hide Indicators can help you focus on the most important information, but it's still crucial to regularly review your indicators to ensure they remain relevant and effective.
To minimize the risk of over-reliance on a single indicator, consider using a combination of indicators, such as the RSI and Bollinger Bands, as demonstrated in the article section "Combining Indicators for a Complete Picture."
Don't forget to adjust the sensitivity of your indicators according to the market conditions, as shown in the example of adjusting the RSI sensitivity in the "Indicator Settings" section.
Avoid over-optimizing your indicators by testing them on historical data, as this can lead to overfitting, which was discussed in the "Common Mistakes to Avoid" section.
