How VANTAGE Works
From checkout to TradingView, getting started with VANTAGE is simple.
Choose the indicator that fits the way you trade, connect your TradingView username, and start using VANTAGE directly on your charts.
First, what exactly is VANTAGE?
VANTAGE is a collection of private TradingView indicators designed to make market information easier to see.
Depending on the product you choose, VANTAGE can help you visualize things like:
You do not need to install software on your computer. VANTAGE works directly inside TradingView.
New to TradingView?
TradingView is the charting platform where VANTAGE runs.
Think of TradingView as the place where you view the market, and VANTAGE as the tool you add to your chart. You will need a TradingView account to use VANTAGE.
You do not need to know how to code or use Pine Script. VANTAGE is provided through TradingView's Invite-only Scripts system.
Getting started takes four steps.

Complete checkout
Purchase your selected VANTAGE subscription through secure Stripe checkout. After payment, you will be guided to the next step.
Tell us your TradingView username
After checkout, enter your exact TradingView username. This is important because VANTAGE indicators are private Invite-only Scripts — we use your username to grant your TradingView account access.
Example
If your TradingView username is:
odawg123
Enter: odawg123
Not your email address. Not your display name unless that is also your TradingView username.
We grant your VANTAGE access
Once your payment and TradingView username are verified, VANTAGE access is granted to your TradingView account.
Most customers only need to submit their username once. Once access is approved, VANTAGE will appear inside TradingView.
Where does VANTAGE appear?
After your access is active:
- 1. Open a TradingView chart.
- 2. Click Indicators.
- 3. Select Invite-only Scripts.
- 4. Find your VANTAGE indicator.
- 5. Click it to add it to the chart.
You never receive or need the Pine Script source code. The indicator remains private and runs directly inside TradingView.
Understanding VANTAGE signals
You do not need to memorize complicated terminology.
VANTAGE has identified bullish market conditions that meet the indicator's entry requirements.
The market may be starting or continuing an upward move.
Depending on the VANTAGE product, SELL can indicate bearish conditions or that a previous bullish trade is weakening and should be exited.
The upward move may be ending, or a downward move may be starting.
VANTAGE Options sees stronger bullish directional conditions in the underlying market.
The signal describes market direction, not a specific options contract. VANTAGE does not choose the option contract, strike, expiration, or premium for you.
VANTAGE Options sees stronger bearish directional conditions in the underlying market.
The signal describes market direction, not a specific options contract.
The move has progressed and VANTAGE is seeing signs that traders may want to pay closer attention.
This is a warning, not always a confirmed exit.
VANTAGE has identified enough evidence that the current trade thesis may no longer be valid.
For products using structural exits, this may include important support or resistance breaking while the market begins switching direction.
Not every red candle means SELL.
Markets rarely move in a straight line. Even strong trends usually include pullbacks. VANTAGE is designed to look at more than the color of one candle.
Depending on the product, it can consider:
VANTAGE does not simply BUY every green candle and SELL every red candle.
Which VANTAGE product is right for me?
DAY TRADER
Best for: Intraday traders.
Day Trader looks for shorter market moves and reacts faster than Swing.
Typical chart use: 1-minute, 5-minute, 15-minute
SWING
Best for: Traders who prefer larger moves and fewer signals.
Swing is more patient and focuses on cleaner directional transitions.
PRO
Best for: Traders who want both styles.
Pro includes Day Trader and Swing so you can choose the indicator that fits the market or timeframe you are trading.
GLOW
Best for: Quickly seeing trend direction.
Glow is a visual layer that follows price and makes bullish and bearish market control easier to see. It does not replace your main VANTAGE subscription — it is an optional add-on for eligible active subscribers.
TRADE PLAN
Coming SoonBest for: Traders who want more context around a possible trade.
Trade Plan can move through stages such as: WATCH → ANALYZING → LONG / SHORT PLAN → HOLD / CAUTION → TP / SL / CLOSE
OPTIONS
Best for: Options traders who want directional market context.
VANTAGE Options focuses on the direction of the underlying market before the trader chooses a contract. Uses: CALL, PUT, EXIT CALL, EXIT PUT.
VANTAGE does not choose: strike price, expiration date, contract premium, or number of contracts. Direction first. Contract second.
Do I need to change the settings?
For most customers, the default VANTAGE settings are designed to provide a simple starting point. You can explore additional settings later if you want to customize how the indicator behaves.
For beginners: Start with the defaults. Learn how the indicator behaves. Then make changes only when you understand what the setting does.
More settings does not automatically mean better signals.
Can I use VANTAGE on different markets?
Once the indicator is added to your TradingView chart, it analyzes the symbol and timeframe currently open on that chart.
If supported by TradingView and appropriate for the selected VANTAGE product, you can change the chart symbol and continue using the indicator.
VANTAGE analyzes the chart where the indicator is currently being used.

What should I do when a signal appears?
A VANTAGE signal is market information — not a command to enter a trade immediately. Before taking a trade, consider:
VANTAGE is designed to support better decision-making, not replace your judgment.
New trader? Start with risk.
A good signal does not mean you should risk a large amount of money. Before trading:
- 1. Know how much you are willing to lose.
- 2. Know where your trade idea becomes invalid.
- 3. Avoid risking money you cannot afford to lose.
- 4. Consider practicing with TradingView Replay or paper trading first.
