The phone is the place to check your alerts and your charts on the go. Do your deeper analysis on a bigger screen, and let the app tell you when it is time to look.

Step 1: Install the app and sign in

  1. Install the TradingView app from the App Store.
  2. Open it and sign in with the same account you use on the web, the same way you signed up: email, Google or Apple.

Your watchlists, layouts, indicators and alerts belong to your account, so they are the same on every device. If you don’t have an account yet, see How to set up TradingView the right way.

Step 2: Open your watchlists

  1. Tap Watchlist at the bottom.
  2. To switch lists, tap the list name at the top and pick another one.
  3. Tap a symbol to open its chart.

To build a watchlist worth opening, see How to build a forex watchlist dashboard.

Step 3: Change the timeframe and zoom

  1. Tap the timeframe at the bottom of the chart, for example 1H, and pick another one.
  2. Pinch to zoom in and out.

Step 6: Get your alerts on the phone

  1. Open the iPhone Settings app, then Notifications, then TradingView.
  2. Turn on Allow Notifications. The app also asks for this the first time you open it.
  3. In each alert you create, keep the app notification turned on (Notify in app on the web).

Alerts you create on the web then reach your phone as push notifications. To see them in the app, tap ••• at the bottom of the chart, then Alerts. To set alerts up, see How to set alerts on TradingView.

Step 7: Turn the phone sideways

For a wider chart, turn your phone sideways (with rotation lock off). The chart fills the screen, which is the easiest way to read the candles and the levels on a phone.
