After years of trial and error (and more than a few “learning experiences”), I finally dialed in a TradingView layout that makes dividend capture almost second nature.
Today, I’m giving you that layout — free — so you can skip the rookie mistakes and jump straight to the good part. This is the TradingView layout I wish I’d had on day one—simple, fast, and purpose-built for dividend capture.

Why a Custom Layout?

Default layouts are fine for day traders or long-term investors, but dividend capture needs a clear view of yield, dates, liquidity, and momentum—without noise.

The Core Indicators

• 20-DMA & 50-DMA: quick read on near-term momentum and pullbacks
• Volume (pane): confirm strength on pushes and rebounds
• Dividend markers: annotate ex-div dates on chart (TradingView’s built-in)

My Multi-Timeframe View

• Daily: trend + key levels
• 15-Minute: entry/exit timing around ex-div windows

Template: How to Load It

1. Download the free “DivCap TradingView Layout” from the link below.
2. TradingView → Load Layout → Import the file.
3. Save it as “DivCap — Daily + 15m”.

Best-Practice Settings

• Sessions: show extended hours off (less noise)
• MA colors/width: keep high-contrast and consistent
• Scales: lock MA visibility on both timeframes

Alerts I Add to Every Ticker

1. Price touch at pre-planned entry zone
2. Cross above 20-DMA (momentum back)
3. Calendar reminder 1–3 days pre ex-div
