Top 7 Most Popular Indicators on TradingView: “Weapons” of Technical Analysis 2025

Last updated: 05/01/2026

Unlike MetaTrader 4 (MT4), which has only about 30 default tools, TradingView owns a massive library with more than 100,000 TradingView indicators programmed by the community itself (Pine Script).

This is both an advantage and a “maze” that makes new Traders easily lose their way. Which one should you use among thousands of flashy choices?

At WeMasterTrade, we encourage Traders to simplify their systems. Below is a curated list of the best TradingView indicators (the best and most popular) voted by the global Trader community, divided into 2 groups: Classic and Exclusive.

Group 1: Classic indicators (Built-in)

These are foundational tools, available everywhere but displayed most beautifully and smoothly on TradingView.

Top 7 Most Popular TradingView Indicators Your 2025 Technical Analysis Arsenal 1

1. Relative Strength Index (RSI)

Indispensable in every list.

  • Function: Measures the strength of Buyers and Sellers.

  • Why use it on TradingView? RSI on TradingView allows you to customize the background color of the 30–70 zone very intuitively, and you can set Alerts when RSI reaches overbought/oversold levels that are sent straight to your phone.

  • Suitable for: Traders trading reversals (Reversal).

2. Exponential Moving Average (EMA)

  • Function: Smooths price to identify trends.

  • Common usage: The “Golden Cross” combo between EMA 50 and EMA 200.

  • Strength: On TradingView, you can use bundled code versions (e.g., “4 EMA”) to display 4 EMA lines at the same time with just 1 indicator slot (Saving slots for free accounts).

3. Bollinger Bands

  • Function: Measures market volatility (Volatility).

  • Signal: The bottleneck (Squeeze) signals that a price storm is coming. TradingView displays the soft cloudy bands of Bollinger very gently on the eyes, helping you see candles more easily compared to the rigid drawings on MT4.

Group 2: Exclusive indicators from the community (Community Scripts)

These are “specialties” available only on TradingView, written by top developers in Pine Script. These are truly the best TradingView indicators that you must try.

4. Squeeze Momentum Indicator (by LazyBear)

This is one of the most famous indicators on TradingView with hundreds of thousands of likes.

  • Mechanism: A combination of Bollinger Bands and Keltner Channels.

  • How to use: Red dots on the zero line signal the market is in a squeeze. When the dots turn green or gray + the Histogram explodes → Price breaks out strongly.

  • Evaluation: Excellent at catching big waves, filters noise better than traditional MACD.

5. Smart Money Concepts [LuxAlgo]

If you follow the SMC (Smart Money) school, this is a “holy” tool that saves 90% of chart-drawing time.

  • Features: Automatically draws market structures: BOS (Break of Structure), CHoCH (Change of Character), Order Block, and FVG (Fair Value Gap).

  • Benefits: Helps you quickly spot the footprints of the “Sharks” (Big Boys) without straining your eyes candle by candle.

6. Volume Profile Visible Range (VPVR)

  • Note: Usually only for paid (Pro) accounts, but there are free community versions.

  • Difference: Regular Volume is at the bottom of the chart (calculated by time). Volume Profile is horizontal (calculated by price levels).

  • Function: Identifies price levels with the highest traded volume (POC – Point of Control). These are extremely strong resistance/support levels of financial institutions.

7. Supertrend

  • Function: For beginners who like simplicity.

  • How to use: The indicator changes color Green (Buy) or Red (Sell) directly on the price line. It works like a dynamic Trailing Stop.

  • Limitation: Do not use when the market is sideways (Sideway) because it will be noisy.

Quick comparison table: Which Indicator should you choose?

Advice from WeMasterTrade: From Analysis to Live Trading

Owning a set of premium TradingView indicators is only the first step. Many Traders analyze very well on TradingView (because charts look great), but when placing trades on MT4/MT5 they still lose due to poor psychology and risk management.

At WeMasterTrade, the process of a Pro Trader is usually:

  1. Analysis: Use TradingView with SMC or Squeeze Momentum indicators to find entry points (Entry) and stop loss points (Stoploss).

  2. Execution: Open WeMasterTrade’s MT5, calculate the appropriate lot size according to risk.

  3. Entry: Place orders and strictly follow discipline.

Don’t let your sharp analyses stay only on paper.

Hypothetical Performance Closure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is made that any account will likely achieve performance-based rewards or losses similar to those shown. There are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk on actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program despite trading losses is a material point, which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program, which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results, and all of which can adversely affect trading results. Testimonials appearing on this website may not represent other clients or customers and are not a guarantee of future performance or success.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure – CFTC Rule 4.41

Simulated or hypothetical trading results have inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records, they do not represent real trading activity and may be designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will, or is likely to, achieve profits or losses similar to those shown or implied.

Risk Disclosure

This is not an investment opportunity. You do not deposit any funds for investment. We do not ask for any funds for investment. At no time do you risk your own capital. There are no promises of rewards or returns. Trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Customer Compensate Disclosure

All trades presented for customer compensation should be considered hypothetical and should not be expected to be replicated in a simulated trading environment. All accounts in the WeMasterTrade program may represent simulated trading accounts. Payments are collected and facilitated by Wecopy Fintech LTD (Company Number: 14905703), 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 9JQ, acting as a Payment Agent on behalf of WeMasterTrade, with the applicable entity determined based on the user’s location and selected payment method.
