Chart not loading or blank in TradingView

What is causing it

Usually a browser cache, extension or connection issue.

Why this happens

TradingView is a web application, so the chart is assembled in your browser from scripts and data streamed from their servers. Anything that interferes with that assembly leaves the container drawn but the chart empty, which is why you see a blank or grey area rather than an error page. Ad blockers and privacy extensions are the most frequent cause, because they block requests by pattern and can catch the data or script requests the chart depends on without any obvious sign that they have done so.

Cached files are the other common culprit. Your browser stores TradingView's scripts to make the site load faster, and after an update a stale cached file can conflict with the current version, producing a chart that will not initialise. This is exactly why a hard refresh or an incognito window, which bypasses or ignores the cache, fixes it instantly while an ordinary refresh does not.

The fix, step by step

1. Do a hard refresh with Ctrl and F5, or Cmd, Shift and R on a Mac.
2. Clear the TradingView site cache, or open it in a private or incognito window.
3. Disable ad blockers and privacy extensions for tradingview.com.
4. Try a different browser such as Chrome, and make sure it is up to date.
5. Check the TradingView status page in case of an outage.

How to confirm it is fixed

The chart should render with candles and a moving last price during market hours, and the symbol and timeframe controls should respond. Trying the same chart in a private window is the cleanest confirmation: if it works there and not in your normal window, the cause is an extension or the cache rather than TradingView or your connection.

Stopping it happening again

Add tradingview.com to the exception list of any ad blocker or privacy extension you use, so updates do not silently break the chart again. Keep your browser current, since the charting engine relies on modern browser features. If you rely on TradingView daily, the desktop app avoids browser extension interference altogether.
