Getting Set Up on TradingView

TradingView is the free charting site GoldScan's data panel runs on. If you don't already use it, here's the easiest way to get a proper XAUUSD chart up in a couple of minutes.

1
Go to tradingview.com and create a free account (or the TradingView app on your phone works too).
2
Search for XAUUSD (Gold vs US Dollar) in the search bar at the top and open its chart.
3
Along the top of the chart, set the timeframe to 5m (5 minutes) — GoldScan only reads 5-minute charts.
4
Zoom/scroll so at least 10 candles are visible on screen before you screenshot.
5
Optional but recommended: add the free GoldScan Pine Script panel to your chart — it gives the scanner extra data to work with for a sharper call.
6
Screenshot your chart and upload it in GoldScan — that's it.
You don't need a paid TradingView plan for any of this — the free account covers everything GoldScan needs.
