How to get started with ProfitView - Manual Installation
More information about ProfitView can be found here.
IF YOU HAVE USED THE OFFICIAL CHROME WEB STORE VERSION BEFORE, MAKE SURE TO EXPORT YOUR CURRENT CONFIG FIRST AND SECURELY STORE IT – THEN AFTER SWITCHING TO MANUAL INSTALL OUTLINED BELOW YOU CAN IMPORT IT AGAIN!
- Step 1: For a fully manual installation (no automatic updates!) download the current version as a ZIP file from https://profitview.app/xxx/ProfitView-1.3.13.zip
- Step 2: Extract the ZIP file to a folder of your chosing (where it will then reside)
Note: If you are updating an existing manual install, make sure to overwrite all files when extracting the ZIP archive and restart ProfitView or better Chrome itself afterwards! (after an update you can skip the other steps below)
- Step 3: Go to Chrome Settings / Extensions and enable “Developer mode”, then click the “Load unpacked” button and select the folder where you unpacked the ZIP file to:
- Optionally: If you want to get rid of the developer mode warning popup on every Chrome (re)start you can use the following patcher to disable it: https://github.com/Ceiridge/Chrome-Developer-Mode-Extension-Warning-Patcher
- Step 4: You will have a new tray icon in Chrome (the green ProfitView logo) which opens a popup window that will show the last used accounts and give a quick overview of the state of operations – click on the “Options” button to continue setting up ProfitView!
Note: If you are switching from the official Chrome Web Store version to manual install or have problems with the TradingView connection at this point it is best to clear the browser cache and restart Chrome!
- Step 5: Buy either a lifetime license or monthly subscription to activate ProfitView PRO
Note: During the payment process use the Email Address from your Google Chrome Account!
- Step 6: Setup your indicators and alerts on TradingView and map them to syntax (PV Alerts) in ProfitView! More in Syntax Setup
