Learning from Community Setups

You don’t need to figure everything out on your own. TradingView has thousands of traders sharing real setups every day and that’s one of the best ways to learn faster.

By observing how others draw trendlines, use indicators, or structure entries and exits, you start noticing patterns and habits that make sense. Over time, this builds your own trading judgment.

Where to Find Quality Setups

1. “Ideas” Section

• Click on the “Ideas” tab on the homepage or left sidebar

• Filter by:

○ Symbol (e.g., NIFTY, RELIANCE)
○ Tags (e.g., Breakout, RSI, Price Action)
○ Timeframe (e.g., Daily, Weekly, Intraday)
○ Type (Long, Short, Neutral)

2. From the Chart Itself

• Open any stock chart.
  
• Click the “Ideas” bulb icon at the top-right.
  
• You’ll see recent ideas posted for that stock.
  

This is the easiest way to see how other traders are interpreting the same chart you’re looking at.

What to Look for in a Community Idea

You don’t need to agree with every idea. In fact, asking yourself “Why do I not agree?” is part of how you sharpen your own edge.

How to Learn Actively (Not Just Scroll)

• Bookmark ideas that reflect your own strategy or challenge your views.
  
• Take notes: Write down what you liked/disliked about a post.
  
• Revisit ideas after a few days to see how the trade played out.
  
• Compare different traders on the same stock and see who was more accurate and why.
  
• Follow traders who explain clearly, not just those who post flashy charts.
  

Example: Learning from a Simple Post

Let’s say someone posts:

“Breakout Alert: ICICI Bank above ₹1,040”

• Chart shows a resistance zone at ₹1,040
  
• Volume spike and RSI crossing 60
  
• Stop-loss marked below support at ₹1,000
  
• Target levels: ₹1,080 and ₹1,100
  

What you learn:

• How they defined their entry
  
• How they used confluence (volume + RSI)
  
• Their risk management using stop-loss
  
• Realistic target-setting
  

Now ask yourself: Would you have taken this trade? If not, why?

To Sum Up

Studying community setups is like watching dozens of mini case studies unfold in real-time.

The more you observe and analyse them, the better your own trading logic becomes. You don’t need to copy ideas, you just need to understand how others are thinking.
