How to Change Chart Appearance

If you want your charts to look like E5 Trading's charts, perform the adjustments in this section.

All of the appearance adjustments in this section are personal preference only and do not impact the functionality of the E5 Trading indicator suite.

The main adjustments made in this section are:

• Eliminate indicator values to the right of each indicator's name; this is superfluous information on the chart that can be distracting.

• Set background to jet black; E5 Trading prefers a jet black background to help the candles and signals "pop" off the chart.

• Eliminate horizontal and vertical grid lines to help the candles and signals "pop".

To make the above changes, right-click on any TradingView chart and select Settings from the pop-up menu:

Menu: Settings

• Navigate to the Status line menu.

• [A] Select Status Line.

• [B] Toggle OFF Indicator values.

Menu: Chart settings - Status line

• [C] Select Appearance.

• [D] Select the Background and change from Gradient to Solid. Select BLACK as shown.

Menu: Chart settings - Appearance

• [E] Select the Vertical grid lines color and change from Gradient to Solid. Select BLACK as shown; change the Opacity to 0%.

• [F] Select the Horz grid lines color and change from Gradient to Solid. Select BLACK as shown; change the Opacity to 0% and press Ok.

Menu: Chart settings - Horizontal and Vertical grid lines

Once appearance settings are optimized, save them as a template to avoid repeating all of these steps in the future.

• [G] Click Template.

• [H] Click Save as...

• [I] Enter the Theme name. For example, "E5 Trading Dark".

Menu: Chart Settings -> Symbol -> Template -> Save as... -> Save Theme As
