Why some older indicators need their title changed manually to adopt the new visual format
Indicators created before the style update may keep the old format until the title or subtitle is changed manually — that edit acts as a trigger that automatically updates the indicator to the new visual standard.
Why doesn't this update happen on its own in every case?
Older indicators were built with a different formatting structure than the current one. When the new version launched, most indicators were migrated automatically, but some — with specific settings — need a small manual adjustment to recognize the new format and correctly apply the updated style.
Without that edit, the indicator may appear smaller or with a slightly different formatting than expected, even if it still works correctly.
How to update an older indicator
- Identify indicators that look smaller or outside the current visual standard.
- Open the indicator's edit view.
- Change the title or subtitle to any new text (it can be the same text, rewritten).
- Save — the indicator is automatically updated to the new visual format.
| Situation | Action needed |
|---|---|
| New indicator | Already born in the updated format |
| Older indicator | Edit title/subtitle to update it |

FAQ
Will I lose any setting by editing the indicator's title?
No, only the visual format is updated; calculation rules and conditions stay intact.
How do I know if an indicator needs this update?
It usually appears with a noticeably different size or formatting compared to more recent indicators.
Does this only happen with simple indicators, or with composite ones too?
Both types may need this manual adjustment, depending on when they were created. See more at jestor.com.
