Hide legend buttons​

You can hide all legend buttons by including the edit_buttons_in_legend in disabled_features. Besides, disabling show_hide_button_in_legend, format_button_in_legend, or delete_button_in_legend allows customizing particular legend buttons. For example, the Settings button is hidden in the image below.

Price formatting​

Prices are formatted according to the pricescale, minmov, minmove2, fractional, and variable_tick_size properties specified in the LibrarySymbolInfo object. For more information, refer to the Price format section.

You can also apply custom formatting using the numeric_formatting property of Widget Constructor.

new TradingView.widget({
    container: "chartContainer",
    locale: "en",
    library_path: "charting_library/",
    datafeed: new Datafeeds.UDFCompatibleDatafeed("https://demo-feed-data.tradingview.com"),
    symbol: "AAPL",
    interval: "1D",
    numeric_formatting: { decimal_sign: "," },
})

In the code sample above, the comma separates the decimal/fractional part of the price.

Numeric formatting

NaN values in legend​

If NaN values appear in the legend instead of the expected data, ensure that you have implemented the getQuotes and subscribeQuotes methods of the Datafeed API. This issue appears in mobile applications when running outside of tracking mode. Outside this mode, the legend shows only three values: the closing price, price change, and price change percentage. The library retrieves these values from the getQuotes request, otherwise, it displays NaN.

Note that open, high, and low prices and indicator values are displayed in the tracking mode only. To activate this mode, users should long tap on the chart. A single tap on the chart exits this mode.

Display logos​

If you want to display logos for symbols within the legend, follow the steps below:

  1. Enable the show_symbol_logos and show_symbol_logo_in_legend featuresets.
  2. Provide URLs for symbols in the logo_urls property of the LibrarySymbolInfo object. Pass the object as a parameter to the callback of the resolveSymbol method.
