TradingView is a browser-based charting and analysis platform used by millions of traders worldwide. No software to install — just open your browser and you’re in. The free account gives you access to powerful charts, indicators, and market data across stocks, futures, forex, and crypto.

Step 1 — Create Your Free Account

Go to tradingview.com and click Sign Up. You can register with your email address or via Google. The free Basic plan gives you access to one chart layout with up to three indicators — more than enough to get started.

Step 2 — Open a Chart

Once logged in, click Chart in the top navigation. To change the instrument, click the symbol in the top-left of the chart and type what you want:

Step 3 — Set Your Timeframe

The timeframe buttons sit at the top of the chart: 1m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, D, and more. For intraday trading with the APEX indicator, you’ll primarily use the 5-minute (5m) chart.

Step 4 — Add an Indicator

Click the Indicators button at the top of the chart. Search for built-in indicators or community-published scripts by name. Once the Satdish indicators are published, simply search “APEX Intraday Flow” and click Add to Chart.

TradingView’s free account allows up to 3 indicators per chart. A Pro account (~$15/month) gives you 5 indicators — useful once you want to run the full Satdish suite simultaneously.

Step 5 — Save Your Layout

Once your chart is set up, save it using the floppy disk icon in the top-right. You can save multiple layouts and switch between them instantly — handy for jumping between NQ and BTC setups.
