📊 Performance Considerations

Chart Performance

Factors Affecting Speed:

  1. Number of Indicators
  • 1-2 indicators: Excellent performance
  • 3-4 indicators: Good performance
  • 5+ indicators: May slow rendering on older devices
  1. Bars Loaded
  • Default: 20,000 bars
  • Recommended: 5,000-10,000 bars for faster performance
  • Settings → Chart Settings → Bars Back to Load
  1. Timeframe
  • Lower timeframes (1m, 5m): More data = slower
  • Higher timeframes (4H, Daily): Less data = faster

Performance Tips:

  • Use Troubleshooting Guide for performance settings
  • Close unused charts/indicators
  • Enable hardware acceleration in browser settings

❓ Common Questions

Q: Do I need TradingView Pro/Premium to use Signal Pilot?

Q: Will Signal Pilot slow down my charts?

A: Minimal impact with 1-3 indicators. Performance depends on your device, number of indicators active, and bars loaded. See Troubleshooting Guide for optimization tips.

Q: Can I use Signal Pilot on my phone?

A: Yes. Signal Pilot indicators work on TradingView mobile app (iOS/Android). Functionality is viewable but customization is limited compared to desktop. Best for monitoring, not primary analysis.
