Easy Tech TutsHow to Hide Candles in TradingView 2026 Easily
By Impran M N
Sometimes candlesticks get in the way when you want to focus purely on indicators, drawings, or a cleaner chart for a screenshot. This guide shows how to hide candles in TradingView, switch to alternative chart types, and bring them back whenever you need.
01Hide candlesticks from chart settings
Open the chart's style settings and toggle off the candlestick visibility to remove the price bars from view.
02Switch to a line, area, or hollow chart type
Instead of fully hiding candles, you can switch the chart type to a simpler style like line or area for a cleaner look.
03Keep indicators visible
Hiding candles doesn't remove your indicators — they'll continue to display on top of or below the now-empty price area.
04Restore candles anytime
Toggle the candlestick visibility back on from the same style settings whenever you want to return to the standard view.
Frequently asked questions
Why would I want to hide candles on a chart?
Traders often hide candles to focus purely on indicators, drawings, or trendlines, or to create a cleaner chart for presentations and screenshots.
Does hiding candles delete my price data?
No, hiding candles is purely visual — your underlying price data and indicators remain intact and can be restored anytime.
What's the difference between hiding candles and switching chart type?
Hiding candles removes the price visualization entirely, while switching chart type replaces candles with a different visual style like a line or area chart.
Can I hide candles on mobile too?
Yes, the chart style settings with the candle visibility toggle are also available in the TradingView mobile app.
