How do I add, configure and remove indicators?

Indicators turn chart data into lines, bands, bars or markers that help you study price behaviour. You can use them to observe trends, momentum, volatility and available volume. They do not guarantee a trade’s outcome.

This guide explains how to open the menu and add, configure, hide and remove studies. It includes individual explanations of the 97 indicators available in the version reviewed. We keep their on-screen names to make them easy to find.

1. How to access and add an indicator

1. Enter the trading room and locate the asset’s chart.
2. In the toolbar to the left of the chart, select INDICADORES (Indicators), the icon marked in the image.
3. In Herramientas de trading (Trading tools), keep the Indicadores tab selected.
4. Type the name in Buscar indicadores (Search indicators), or choose a category. In narrow windows, scroll along the category row to see the other options.
5. Select the study. Open Aplicación (Application) to read its description and Ajustes avanzados (Advanced settings) to review parameters.
6. Select Aplicar (Apply). The study appears on the chart or in its own panel, depending on its type. In the RSI test, it appeared below the candles.

Guided example: find Relative Strength Index (RSI). The initial settings observed were period 14, overbought 70 and oversold 30. You can keep these values to learn the interface; they are example parameters, not settings that guarantee winning trades.

2. How to configure and edit

Open Indicadores → Añadido (Indicators → Added) and select the edit icon on the study’s row. The RSI panel also has a cog beside its name. Adjust the fields and select Aplicar (Apply). Cancelar (Cancel) exits without confirming the edit.

• Aplicación: explains the calculation or purpose.
• Ajustes avanzados → Configuración básica (Advanced settings → Basic settings): contains study-specific parameters.
• Colores y visualización (Colours and display): adjusts appearance. RSI offered line colours, opacity and widths of 1, 2 and 3 px.
• Restaurar valores (Restore values): restores defaults; review the fields before applying.

What do the main fields mean?

• Período (Period): number of candles used in the calculation. With 1-minute candles, 14 periods means 14 one-minute candles; with 5-minute candles, it means 14 five-minute candles. This does not set trade duration.
• Fuente (Source): the price used. Cierre is close; Apertura is open; Máximo and Mínimo are high and low. Formula options combine these prices: OHLC / 4 averages open, high, low and close.
• Método (Method): how the reference is calculated. SMA is simple; EMA, exponential; SSMA, smoothed; WMA, weighted; TMA, triangular; HMA, Hull; MEDIAN uses the median. No method is universally best.
• Período rápido/lento, Suavizado and Señal (Fast/slow period, Smoothing and Signal): control different windows and smoothing. Smoothing reduces fluctuations but may slow the response.
• Sobrecompra/Sobreventa (Overbought/Oversold): oscillator reference levels, not orders or guarantees of a reversal.
• Multiplicador and Desviación (Multiplier and Deviation): change band distance or width. Check the unit: % and ‰ differ.
• Desplazamiento (Offset): may shift a line in time or have a study-specific meaning. Read the full label: ZigZag’s “Desplazamiento (%)” is not the same field as a shifted average’s offset.

Distinguish three controls: indicator period selects how many candles enter the calculation; Período de vela sets the time each candle represents; Horario relates to the trade. See candle period and trade duration.

3. How to hide, show and remove

1. Open INDICADORES → Añadido, which lists your added studies.
2. Select the row’s eye to hide the indicator. It stays in the list; select the eye again to show it.
3. To remove it, select the X on its own row. In the RSI test, removal was immediate and the study disappeared from the panel.
4. To add it again, find it in the catalogue and configure it again.

The Añadido header also has visibility and removal controls for all indicators. Distinguish a row’s X from the header’s X. The top X in Herramientas de trading only closes that menu.

Removing an indicator removes the study from the chart. It does not cancel an open trade or return its amount. See Can I cancel a trade after opening it?.

4. All Worbit indicators

The catalogue keeps the interface’s categories. Popular contains 16 shortcuts and repeats studies from other categories. To avoid duplicates, we list the 93 studies in the five categories, followed by the four additional Popular entries: Alligator, Volume and both Volume Profiles.

How to read this catalogue: each entry explains what the study shows and what it can help with. Configuration fields retain their Spanish names. A field’s presence does not replace the description of the study’s specific calculation.

Ímpetu (Momentum) — 31 indicators

Tendencia (Trend) — 25 indicators

Volatilidad (Volatility) — 13 indicators

Medias móviles (Moving averages) — 7 indicators

Otros (Other) — 17 indicators

Additional Popular entries — 4 indicators

Volume Profile: understanding the options

In both profiles, Disposición de filas (Row layout) lets you use a number of rows or ticks per row; Tamaño de fila (Row size) adjusts the division. Volumen offers Alza / baja (Up/down), Total and Delta. Área de valor (%) (Value area) sets the percentage used in that area. Consider how volume is classified and where the data comes from before interpreting “Delta” as actual order flow.

For Fixed Range, the window tells you to select two points after applying. Visible Range uses the visible interval. Do not confuse volume per candle with volume distributed by price level.

5. Scripts: where to find them and how to start

Scripts are code instructions for creating visual studies. You do not need to program to use the 97 ready-made indicators.

1. Open INDICADORES and select Scripts.
2. Use Añadir manualmente (Add manually) to open the Código Lua / QCS editor, or Importar script (Import script) to start importing a file.
3. The version reviewed opened the editor with a period-14 moving-average example. Review its name, parameters and code before use.
4. Guardar (Save), Guardar y aplicar (Save and apply) and Exportar (Export) distinguish saving the code, saving and applying the study, and exporting it. Check the result and any on-screen messages.

The interface states initial support for OHLC, averages, lines, fills, arrows and text over candles with overlay = true, using the last 3,000 candles. Do not assume full compatibility with other platforms’ code because names look similar. This feature is not a robot that opens trades automatically.

6. How does Estrategias differ?

Indicadores lets you choose individual studies; Estrategias (Strategies) offers ready-made sets. The screen warns that a strategy replaces current indicators while keeping scripts, candle period and trade duration. Record your parameters before trying another set.

A strategy organises analysis tools; its name or difficulty rating does not guarantee winning trades. Times on the cards do not replace checking Horario.

7. Frequently asked questions

Why has the indicator not appeared? Confirm you selected Aplicar, open Añadido and check the eye. Some studies appear below the candles; others appear over price. Check colours, opacity and whether enough price history is available; Special K needs extensive history. If it still does not appear, contact internal support with the study name, asset, candle period and parameters.

Why does it change before the candle closes? The forming candle’s price can change, affecting calculations. Fractals need later confirmation, and ZigZag’s final leg is provisional. A historical mark does not mean that information was available when the candle began.

Why does it differ from another platform? Compare asset, price source, candle period, history and parameters. The same name does not guarantee identical data or implementations. Do not copy a value without checking these conditions.

Do more indicators improve analysis? Not necessarily. Similar studies may repeat information and make the chart harder to read. Understand each one before combining them.

Can they automatically cancel or protect a trade? Do not confuse analytical lines with orders. ATR Trailing Stops, Chande Kroll Stop and Parabolic SAR do not themselves send stop orders or cancel trades.

Which settings guarantee profit? None. Indicators describe or transform data and may produce false readings. Learn the controls in demo before considering their use with real funds.

Indicator or drawing: which tool do you need?

Indicators are calculated from chart data; drawings are marks you add yourself. For lines, text, rectangles and other marks, open HERRAMIENTAS GRÁFICAS (Drawing tools) and see how to draw on the chart. These features do not trade for you or guarantee results.

An indicator’s period belongs to its calculation; it is not trade duration. See candle period and trade time.
