Overview
HFT Indicator Automation Mode is the edition of the HFT Algo Scanner built to be automated. Its description on TradingView is a single line: “This version of the HFT Indicator has been made for automation” (quoted from TradingView).
Like the main scanner, it reads options activity across several strikes around the current price and shows it as four coloured flow columns under the chart. On the price chart it marks Buy and Sell labels. The difference is the purpose. The HFT Algo Scanner is built mostly for traders who trade by hand; this edition is built for automation, with less noise in its signals and alerts that can drive orders, whether you send them to your own broker’s automation or through Vyuh.
The interactive chart on this page is rebuilt from a real export of the indicator on a one minute Nifty chart, from 6 to 9 November 2026. Hover or tap any candle to see its prices and that minute’s four flows.
“HFT” is the product’s name. The indicator runs on your TradingView chart; it does not trade by itself and has no connection to any high frequency trading firm.
Who it suits
- Traders who already read the HFT Algo Scanner and want the same view with alerts ready for automation.
- Traders automating their own rules, who want TradingView alerts from an options flow indicator to reach their broker, directly or through Vyuh.
Who it does not suit
- Anyone looking for trading calls. The labels are the indicator’s output on your chart, not recommendations. Every decision is yours.
- Traders who place every trade by hand. The HFT Algo Scanner is built for manual trading; start there to learn what the columns mean.
How to read it on the chart
What you see
The example chart shows four things:
- Buy and Sell labels on the candles, green below the bar for Buy and red above it for Sell.
- Dynamic resistance and support lines: red lines mark resistance and green lines mark support. The indicator draws them; in the example, new lines start at different times of the day.
- Four flow columns in the pane below, in the same colours as the main scanner: call buying, put writing, put buying and call writing.
- A Fund Flow table with each flow over the last 60 candles and for the day, in rupee crore. The rows are put writing and call writing, then call buying and put buying.
- A symbol table with the symbol, the Dynamic ATM strike, the expiry date and the strike interval.
The indicator’s own data also carries the current strike and an upper and lower range value; in the example these were 25,150 and 24,650.
Inputs and settings
To run it, set two things in the indicator’s settings:
- The current market price of the index or stock.
- The expiry date of the options you want it to read.
All its other inputs are the same as the HFT Algo Scanner’s; see Inputs and settings in the HFT Algo Scanner guide.
Timeframes and markets
Markets: Indian F&O stocks and indices. A separate version covers the US F&O market.
Timeframes: built for intraday trading, where the 1 minute chart is the preferred timeframe.
Automation
The reason this edition exists is automation. TradingView can send an indicator’s alerts by email, mobile, desktop or webhook. With a webhook, the alert can reach software that places orders at your broker, such as Vyuh, which turns TradingView alerts into orders under your own rules and starts every new strategy in paper mode.
Alerts it offers
You can set an alert on any of these, and choose only the ones you want to act on:
- Buy signals.
- Sell signals.
- Dynamic support, the green lines.
- Dynamic resistance, the red lines.
For example, one strategy might act only on Buy and Sell signals, while another uses the support and resistance alerts as levels to watch.
Before you automate anything:
- Test in paper first. Watch how alerts arrive and what orders they would place before going live.
- Start with one lot. Keep quantities small until you trust the whole chain: alert, webhook, software, broker.
- Know the rules. Broker and SEBI rules on API and algorithmic orders apply, and every order from your account is your responsibility.
Getting started
- Get access. Choose a plan on the pricing page and pay online. The order form asks for your TradingView username; we never ask for your TradingView password.
- Access arrives by itself. Once the payment goes through, the script is added to your TradingView username automatically, usually within a few minutes, and we email you when it’s done.
- Add it to a chart. In TradingView, click Indicators, open Invite-only scripts and choose HFT Indicator Automation Mode.
- Set the price and expiry. In the settings, enter the current market price and the expiry date.
- Read the main guide. The HFT Algo Scanner guide explains the four colours and the Fund Flow table.
- Watch before you automate. Scroll back and see how the labels and columns behaved in trends and in sideways sessions.
- Then set up alerts, in paper first.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Built for automation. An edition of the scanner made for alerts to drive orders.
- Less noise. Its signals are tuned to be less noisy than the main scanner’s, which matters when an alert can place an order.
- Alerts to choose from. Buy, Sell, dynamic support and dynamic resistance, each on its own.
- The same options flow view as the main scanner: four columns and a Fund Flow table on the chart.
- Maintained. Signals and alerts were updated after launch.
Limitations
- Little published detail. TradingView carries a one line description and two release notes; the inputs and alert format are not public.
- It is an estimate. Like the main scanner, the flows are the tool’s own reading of options data, not a record of who traded.
- Labels are not advice. A label can appear and the market can do the opposite; in a sideways session, labels can come in quick succession, as the example chart shows.
- Automation adds risk. A wrong setting, a missed alert or a broker rejection can leave you with an unexpected position. Test before going live.
- Closed code. Invite only with private source; you can only observe the output.
- No published performance. No figures are given on TradingView or on this site.

Frequently asked questions
How is it different from the HFT Algo Scanner? The HFT Algo Scanner is built mostly for traders who trade by hand. Automation Mode is built for automation and gives less noise in its signals. You run it by entering the current market price and the expiry date; all its other inputs are the same as the HFT Algo Scanner’s.
Which alerts can I set? Alerts for Buy signals, Sell signals, dynamic support and dynamic resistance. Pick the ones you want; you don’t need all four.
Which timeframe should I use? It is built for intraday trading, and the 1 minute chart is preferred.
Does it place trades by itself? No. It is a TradingView indicator. Orders are placed only if you connect its alerts to your broker’s automation or to software such as Vyuh.
Can I use it with Vyuh? Vyuh accepts TradingView alerts, so this indicator’s alerts can be sent to it like any other. Start in paper mode.
Which markets does it work on? Indian F&O stocks and indices. A separate version covers the US F&O market.
