Custom Message and Notes Rotator

The Custom Message and Notes Rotator is a free TradingView overlay indicator developed by NAMI Trading. It renders a configurable message display directly on your price chart, cycling through up to five custom text entries on a timed interval. Designed for traders who want persistent visual reminders, session notes, or rule-based prompts without leaving their chart environment.

Whether you use it to reinforce your trading rules, track session context, display risk parameters, or leave notes for yourself across timeframes — this indicator keeps critical information visible at all times. Lightweight, non-intrusive, and fully customizable.

How to Use the Custom Message and Notes Rotator

After adding the indicator to your TradingView chart, configure your messages through the settings panel. Each of the five message slots can be individually toggled on or off, allowing you to control exactly what rotates on screen.

The indicator automatically cycles through all enabled messages at a user-defined interval. The rotation is time-based and updates continuously, so you always see the next message without any manual interaction. Messages display inside a clean table element that can be positioned anywhere on the chart.

Common setups include:

• Trading rules reinforcement — Display your entry criteria, risk rules, or session plan as rotating reminders.
• Session context notes — Mark what you're watching: "Waiting for London Open," "FOMC at 2pm," or "Targeting 4H FVG above."
• Risk management prompts — Rotate max loss limits, position sizing rules, or R:R minimums.
• Multi-timeframe annotations — Leave notes on specific timeframes that persist whenever you return to that view.

Key Features

Five Independent Message Slots

Each of the five message fields operates independently with its own enable/disable toggle. This means you can run anywhere from a single static message to a full five-message rotation. Disabled messages are excluded from the cycle entirely — the rotation dynamically adjusts to only include active entries.

Configurable Rotation Interval

The rotation timing is fully adjustable, measured in seconds. Set a fast cycle for quick-glance reminders or a longer interval for sustained reading. The timer uses TradingView's system clock, ensuring consistent pacing regardless of chart timeframe or data loading speed.

Full Visual Customization

Every visual aspect of the display is configurable:

• Text color — Match your chart theme or use high-contrast colors for visibility.
• Background color — Set any fill color with transparency support for a clean overlay look.
• Text size — Five preset sizes from tiny to huge, adapting to your screen and chart layout.

Flexible Chart Positioning

The message display can be placed in any of nine chart positions: top-left, top-center, top-right, middle-left, middle-center, middle-right, bottom-left, bottom-center, or bottom-right. Position it wherever it's most visible without interfering with your price action or other indicators.

Use Cases

Discipline Enforcement

One of the most effective applications is reinforcing your own trading discipline. Set your top three rules — "No revenge trades," "Wait for confirmation," "Honor the stop" — and let them cycle on screen throughout your session. Constant visual reinforcement reduces impulsive decision-making.

Session Planning

Before each session, update your messages with the day's plan: key levels, news events, or the specific setups you're watching. This keeps your session context front and center without relying on a separate notepad or second monitor.

Team and Education

For trading educators and group leaders, this indicator provides a simple way to display instructions, key concepts, or live commentary on shared TradingView layouts. Students see rotating guidance directly on the chart they're analyzing.
