TradingView Export Chart Data to CSV: Bar Limits, Indicator Values and Plans
How TradingView's Export chart data works, what lands in the CSV, why the row count stops where it does, and how to get indicator values and your own levels out.
TradingView can save the chart you are looking at as a CSV file, and the result surprises people in two ways: the file ends where the loaded history ends, and the indicator columns depend on what was on the chart at the moment you exported. Here is what the export does, how to get more rows, and what never comes out of it.
Where the export is
- Open the chart with the symbol, timeframe and indicators you want.
- Open the menu beside the layout name at the top right.
- Choose Export chart data, pick the time format, and save the CSV.
- Open it in Excel, Google Sheets, Python or anything else that reads CSV.
What lands in the file
Each row is one bar. Columns are the time, OHLC and volume, followed by every visible plot from the indicators on the chart, named after the plot titles. Hidden plots and indicators turned off in the Data Window settings do not export, and a plot with display set to none is skipped. If an indicator column is missing, check its visibility before anything else; Indicator Values Missing in CSV? A Technical Trader’s Guide to Export-Safe Pine Outputs covers the Pine side.
Why the rows stop where they do
The export writes what the chart has loaded, and the number of bars a chart can load depends on your plan. Intraday history is the tightest. Three ways to get more:
- Scroll back on the chart before exporting, so more history loads.
- Export a higher timeframe when you only need daily or hourly bars.
- Export in pieces with different visible ranges and join the files by timestamp.
What the export leaves behind
The CSV is prices and plots. Your trend lines, horizontal levels, zones and notes stay on the chart, and so does the reason you drew them. For a journal or a backtest that asks did price respect my level, that missing column is the important one. Data Window values are a live readout and do not export in bulk; see Export TradingView Chart Data to CSV.
Getting levels and prices in one file
MyLinedChart exports the analysis alongside the candles: drawings with their prices and dates, notes, OHLCV and indicator values, as CSV, XLSX or JSON. The history comes from whichever broker or data provider you connect, so the bar count follows that provider rather than a charting plan. If you keep TradingView for charting, the comparison in TradingView vs TrendSpider vs MyLinedChart: Structured Chart Exports for Real Trading Processes shows what each tool writes out.
Terms of use
TradingView's exported data is for your own use. Redistributing exchange data can break both TradingView's terms and the exchange's licence, so keep exported files personal.
FAQ
Is TradingView chart export free?
Export chart data needs a paid TradingView plan.
Why does my TradingView CSV only cover a few months of 1-minute bars?
The export contains the bars the chart has loaded, which your plan limits. Scroll back first or export a higher timeframe.
Why is my indicator missing from the CSV?
Only visible plots export. Check the indicator is visible and its plots are not hidden or set to display none.
Can I export my TradingView drawings to CSV?
Not from Export chart data. The file contains prices and indicator plots only.
