Community Layouts & Indicators#
Two marketplaces are built into the terminal. Share the layouts and the custom indicators you build, and install what other traders publish. Everything you install is copied to you, so it keeps working even if the author later changes theirs.
Community layouts#
Browse and install#
Open the Manage Terminal Layouts window from the layout menu and switch to the Community tab. Sort by Popular or Newest, filter by category, or search by name. Each card shows an auto-generated preview, the widgets the layout includes, and how many times it has been installed. Click Use to copy the layout into your own saved layouts, where you can rename and rearrange it freely. See Terminal Layouts for how saved layouts work.

Publish a layout#
From a saved layout's menu, pick Publish to Community. Give it a name, a short description, a category, and up to ten tags. Tracer captures the preview screenshot for you automatically, with a Retake button if you want a cleaner shot. Your API keys and any private settings are stripped out before the layout goes public.

Manage what you published#
The My Published tab lists your public layouts alongside your drafts, each with its install count. You can edit a published layout's details for one hour after publishing. Once that hour passes the content locks, but you can still unpublish it or delete it at any time.

Community indicators#
Browse and install#
Open the indicator picker and switch to the Community tab. Search by name, or sort by Most Installed or Newest. Click Add to chart to run an indicator on the chart you are looking at. Installing it runs the indicator on that chart only. It does not get saved into your My Indicators library, so it lives on the chart rather than in your collection. Every install is re-scanned by the safety checker before the code runs.

Publish an indicator#
From your My Indicators library, click Publish on an indicator to share it. Publishing runs it through the same safety scan, and code that fails the scan is rejected. You can toggle a published indicator back to private whenever you want. To build an indicator in the first place, see Building Indicators and the Indicators page.
A few things to know:
- Installs are copies, not live links. Installing takes a snapshot at that moment, so later edits by the author never change your copy.
- Every community indicator is safety-scanned twice, once when it is published and again the moment you install it.
- You cannot install your own published layout.
