Augury Grid
Timeframe Configuration
Avoid TradingView Memory Limits • Configure Timeframes Correctly
🌟 The Golden Rule
Your chart timeframe must be EQUAL TO or LOWER than your lowest scanner timeframe (TF 1).
This is a TradingView limitation, not a bug. When you request lower timeframe data from a higher timeframe chart, TradingView must load significantly more bars, which can exceed memory limits.
🔍 Why This Happens
Augury Grid scans 7 symbols across 3 timeframes = 21 data requests. Each request has a memory cost. When you ask for lower TF data from a higher TF chart, the data multiplier increases exponentially:
| Chart TF | Requesting | Data Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| 4H | 30m | 8× more bars |
| 4H | 15m | 16× more bars |
| Daily | 1H | 24× more bars |
Multiply that by 21 requests and you hit TradingView's memory ceiling.
✅ Valid Configurations
These Settings Work
| Chart Timeframe | TF 1 | TF 2 | TF 3 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15m | 15m | 4H | D | ✔ Works |
| 15m | 1H | 4H | D | ✔ Works |
| 30m | 30m | 4H | D | ✔ Works |
| 1H | 1H | 4H | D | ✔ Works |
| 4H | 4H | D | W | ✔ Works |
| 5m | 15m | 1H | 4H | ✔ Works |
Key pattern: Chart TF ≤ TF 1 (your lowest scanner timeframe)
❌ Invalid Configurations (Memory Crash)
These Settings Will Crash
| Chart Timeframe | TF 1 | TF 2 | TF 3 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4H | 30m | 1H | 8H | ✘ Crash |
| 4H | 15m | 4H | D | ✘ Crash |
| Daily | 1H | 4H | D | ✘ Crash |
| 1H | 15m | 1H | 4H | ✘ Crash |
Problem pattern: Chart TF > TF 1 (requesting lower TF data from higher TF chart)
💡 Quick Fix
If you see "Memory limits exceeded"
Option A: Lower your chart timeframe to match TF 1
- Scanning 15m? Use a 15m chart (or lower like 5m)
- Scanning 30m? Use a 30m chart (or lower)
- Scanning 1H? Use a 1H chart (or lower)
Option B: Raise TF 1 to match your chart
- On a 4H chart? Set TF 1 to 4H (or higher)
- On a Daily chart? Set TF 1 to Daily (or higher)
Remember: Chart TF ≤ TF 1. Always.

Additional Troubleshooting Steps
If you're following the golden rule and still hitting memory limits, try these:
- Reduce symbols — Use Custom preset with fewer symbols (5 instead of 7)
- Use less volatile symbols — Meme coins have more tick data, which consumes more memory
- Avoid 1m/3m/5m for TF 1 — Extremely data-heavy timeframes multiply the problem
- Clear browser cache — Sometimes helps free up resources
- Close other TradingView tabs — Each chart consumes memory
- Restart your browser — Memory leaks can accumulate over time
This is a TradingView platform limitation that affects all multi-timeframe, multi-symbol indicators—not just Augury Grid.
