What Are Favourite Indicators and Templates in Pluang's Advanced Chart?
In Pluang's Advanced Chart, favourite indicators are the ones you keep ready on your chart, and templates are ready-made indicator sets you apply in one tap. You can keep up to six favourites; a new chart starts with Moving Average (MA), Exponential Moving Average (EMA), RSI, Volume and Smart Money Divergence (SMD). To use another of the 100+ indicators, open the indicator list and add it to your favourites, removing one first if you already have six. Each indicator has its own settings, such as the period of a moving average, with a reset to the default values. Applying a template replaces the indicators on your chart, so the app asks you to confirm first. Your favourites, indicator settings and last-used timeframe are kept for the next time you open the chart.
Types of indicators in Advanced Chart
| Type | Where it appears | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Main-chart indicators | Drawn on top of the price chart | MA, EMA, WMA, Bollinger Bands |
| Sub-chart indicators | In a separate panel below the price chart, one panel at a time | Volume, MACD, RSI, KDJ |
| Exclusive indicators | Indonesian stock charts only | Pluang indicators based on broker activity, updated at the end of each trading day |
Exclusive indicators on Indonesian stock charts use end-of-day data and show the date the values are as of, so they don't move during the trading session. If a stock doesn't have enough broker history yet, the indicator says there isn't enough data instead of showing a value.
Chart settings let you change how the chart itself looks, for example a logarithmic price scale or a countdown to the next candle.

Related questions:
Q: How many favourite indicators can I keep in Advanced Chart?
Up to six. Favourites are the indicators you keep ready on the chart, so you don't have to search the full list each time. If you already have six and want another, remove one from your favourites first, and the app tells you when you reach the limit. The same favourites follow you from one asset to the next, so a set you build for one stock is ready on the next chart you open.
Q: Why can't I show two sub-chart indicators at the same time?
Advanced Chart in the app shows one sub-chart panel at a time, to keep the chart readable on a phone screen. Sub-chart indicators such as MACD, RSI and Volume each need that panel, so picking a new one replaces the one shown. Main-chart indicators such as moving averages and Bollinger Bands are drawn on the price chart itself, so you can combine several of them with one sub-chart indicator.
Q: What happens to my indicators when I apply a template?
Applying a template replaces the indicators currently on your chart with the template's set, which is why the app asks you to confirm before it applies it. Templates group indicators that are often used together, for example for following a trend. If you want your earlier set back afterwards, add those indicators again from the indicator list or your favourites.
Q: What are the exclusive indicators on Indonesian stock charts?
They are indicators built by Pluang from broker activity data on IDX, shown only on Indonesian stock charts and free for every user. Their values are calculated at the end of each trading day and show the date they are as of, so they don't update live during the session. A stock without enough broker history shows a not-enough-data message instead of a value.
Q: Do indicators tell me when to buy or sell?
No. Indicators are analysis tools that summarise past price and volume in different ways; they don't predict prices and they aren't recommendations from Pluang. Different indicators can point in different directions at the same time. Use them alongside your own research, your risk limits and the order tools on the Trade Page, and decide each trade yourself.
