Trigger orders allow you to automate your trades when a chosen price is reached. While you can create these orders from the Trigger tab in the Buy and Sell page, the most effective way to view and manage them is through the advanced TradingView chart.
This guide explains how to use the advanced chart to see, edit and understand your trigger orders in context.
Understanding chart modes: Buy vs Sell
Digital Surge charts display different data depending on whether you are in Buy or Sell mode:
Buy mode shows the buy price and buy price chart
Sell mode shows the sell price and sell price chart
This distinction matters because trigger orders use the buy price for buy triggers and the sell price for sell triggers.
Always switch to the correct mode when placing or reviewing trigger orders.
Chart types: Simple vs Advanced
You can switch between chart types using the chart icon in the top right corner:
Simple chart – A basic line chart showing overall price movement
Advanced chart – A full TradingView candlestick chart with technical tools and order interaction
To manage trigger orders, the Advanced Chart is required.
Managing trigger orders in the advanced chart
1. Enable trigger order display
Turn on the option to show trigger orders in the chart settings.
Once enabled, all active trigger orders appear as markers directly on the chart.
2. Edit orders directly from the chart
Double click any trigger order marker to open the edit window.
From here you can:
Adjust your trigger price
Update the amount
Delete the order
These changes can be made without leaving the chart view, allowing for faster decision making
3. Compare market movement against your trigger
The advanced chart displays full candlestick data, including wicks.
This helps you understand:
How high or low the price moved within each candle
Whether your trigger was activated by a brief price touch
If you notice a trigger activated but the chart doesn’t appear to show the price being hit, check that you’re viewing:
The Sell chart for sell triggers
The Buy chart for buy triggers
Switching modes often resolves discrepancies.
Pro tips

Price wicks can show brief touches that activate triggers, even if the candle body doesn’t close at that level.
Final notes
Managing your trigger orders through the advanced chart gives you a complete view of your strategy in one place. It allows you to monitor market movements, adjust active orders and understand exactly when and how your triggers may activate.
If you can’t see your orders or something doesn’t look right, double check that:
