Short answer
Limited functionality means the watchlist alert is still active, but calculations have stopped for one or more affected symbols. Check the affected symbols and the underlying script or trigger rate.
What you may be seeing
- Watchlist Alert shows limited functionality
- Some symbols stop producing alerts while others continue
- The alert remains active but coverage is incomplete
Most likely causes
- Fire-control was activated for an affected symbol
- A Pine Script calculation error interrupted processing for a symbol
Try this first
- Open the watchlist alert and identify affected symbols
- Check for excessive triggering
- Check the Pine Script for runtime or calculation errors
- Correct the cause and recreate the affected alert state if needed
If that didn’t fix it
- Test the script on the affected symbols directly
- Reduce signal frequency if fire-control is the cause
Verify the fix
Confirm the watchlist alert no longer shows limited functionality and the previously affected symbols resume normal calculations.
Why this happens
A watchlist alert can stay active while calculations are interrupted for some symbols. TradingView calls this a limited functionality state.
TradingView lists causes such as fire-control activation or a Pine Script calculation error. Other symbols in the same watchlist alert can continue working.
