My Rules and Note: To keep my TradingView and other broker charts simple and clean, I will follow this guide, using the same colors and tools everywhere.
- I should use FVG carefully because its psychological colors can be distracting. However, it is acceptable due to the limited color options available for my neutral trading.
- I will not add anything extra to the charts unless absolutely necessary. I will stick to these chart settings for life.
- For viewing much clear zones while using Rectangle tool, manually hide the middle line when it is not required. (Very Important.)
Choosing the best combination of colors for candlesticks.
