Indicators panel: built-in overlays, panels, Library and templates
The Indicators button on the chart toolbar opens a floating panel with a searchable list of built-in overlays and panels, the Library of series indicators, your own scripts and a templates bar. Each row has an on/off LED, a favourite star and a gear that opens the settings pane on the right.

Where to find it
- Where
- Chart toolbar → Indicators button (badge shows the number of active studies)
- Groups
- Favourites, Overlays, Panels, Quant models, Library · <9 groups>, My scripts
- On by default
- Big Trades, DOM Profile, Volume Profile (session), GEX levels, Macro events
What it does
The panel is a draggable floating window with a header (search field, minimize, close; Escape closes it), a scrolling list on the left and a settings pane on the right. The search field, labelled Search by study, measure or data…, matches the study name, its description and, for studies that have a guide card, the translated measure, note, kind, required data and unit. The same field filters the Library and your scripts.
Built-in studies are stored as flags in the chart settings. Overlays: VWAP, EMA, Market Profile (TPO), Stacked Imbalances, Naked POCs, My trades, Macro events, GEX levels, Unfinished Auctions, Absorption Zones, Big Trades, CVD Divergence, Bar Delta, DOM Profile, Liquidity walls and Volume Profile (session). Panels: Cluster Statistic, Delta Profile and CVD. Quant models: HMM Regime (quant), Microstructure (quant) and Hurst MR (signals). The Library lists the series catalogue in nine groups; My scripts lists indicators written in the Scripting page.
Settings pane and controls
| Control | Default | What it changes |
|---|---|---|
| LED (row) | Off for most studies | Toggles the study on the chart. The badge on the Indicators button counts active built-ins plus active Library studies. |
| Star (row) | None | Pins the study to the Favourites group at the top of the list. |
| Gear (row) | — | Opens the settings pane: title, description, on/off switch, study guide card when one exists, then the parameter sections. |
| Reset (pane) | — | Shown only when the study declares defaults; restores every parameter of that study. |
| Number parameters | Per study | Stepper with −/+ and a track; bounded by the min, max and step of the study. |
| Select, gauge, toggle, colour | Per study | Dropdown, ordered gauge, ON/OFF switch or colour swatch with hex value. |
| Templates bar | 9 built-in (Footprint, Profiles, TPO, Swing) + saved | Applies a template on top of the current settings; Save current stores every indicator and chart setting under a name. |
How the computation runs
- One hook builds the computation config from the store for every surface (live and Replay), so an option added to a study reaches all charts; a divergence between live and replay configs was the reason the hook exists.
- The runner throttles: the first update of a burst arms a 200 ms timer, later updates only refresh the inputs, and the compute runs in an idle callback with a 300 ms deadline. Worst-case latency is about half a second under continuous flow, and the pipeline never starves.
- Per-bar derivations are memoised on bar identity; a change of instrument disposes the runner and its cache.
- A parameter that another setting makes inert is greyed out with a tooltip giving the reason, rather than silently doing nothing.
Limits
The Library and user scripts execute only on charts that run the series engine. On the other charts the list ends with the notice: the indicator library and your own scripts run on the Rithmic chart and in Replay; this chart draws its own indicators only. The badge does not count Library studies there, so it never announces studies that are not drawn.
A study that produces nothing without data (My trades needs a filled journal, GEX levels need an options snapshot) is either off by default or draws nothing until its data exists. Enabling a study is not a promise of a signal: every computation reads the loaded bars as reported by the source.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is the Library missing on my crypto chart?
- The series engine runs on the Rithmic chart and in Replay. Other charts draw their built-in studies only and show a notice instead of a list of switches that would have no effect.
- Where did my settings go after applying a template?
- A template applies on top of the current settings and changes the studies it names. Save your own variant with Save current before switching if you want to return to it in one click.
- Why does a study appear a moment after the print?
- Computation is coalesced with a 200 ms throttle and a 300 ms idle deadline to keep the chart smooth during fast tape. The delay is bounded, not cumulative.
