The chart above is the TradingView silver chart, embedded here in full so you can use it without a TradingView account, a login, or a paywall. It carries the same price feed, drawing tools, timeframes, and indicator library you would get on TradingView itself. Change the symbol from the toolbar, switch the interval, add a moving average, draw a trendline — everything works on this page.
The default symbol is OANDA:XAGUSD, the silver spot price in US dollars per troy ounce. That is the number most people mean when they say "the silver price". If you want futures, an ETF, or silver in another currency instead, the symbol list below covers the ones that matter.
Which silver symbol should you use on TradingView?
TradingView carries several instruments that all track silver but are not interchangeable. Picking the wrong one is the most common reason two charts disagree.
- OANDA:XAGUSD — silver spot in USD per troy ounce, quoted 24 hours a day from Sunday evening to Friday evening. The best default for tracking "the silver price".
- TVC:SILVER — TradingView's own composite silver spot feed. Nearly identical to XAG/USD; useful as a cross-check.
- COMEX:SI1! — the front-month COMEX silver futures contract, 5,000 troy ounces per contract. This is the contract that sets the reference price for the wholesale market, and it trades at a small premium or discount to spot depending on financing costs and delivery demand.
- AMEX:SLV — the iShares Silver Trust. An equity that holds physical silver, so it only trades during US stock-market hours and its price is roughly one-tenth to one-twelfth of an ounce of silver, net of fees.
- FX:XAGEUR, OANDA:XAGGBP, OANDA:XAGJPY — silver quoted in euros, pounds, and yen. Worth using if your savings are not in dollars, because a large part of a "silver move" in a non-dollar currency is often a currency move.
- OANDA:XAUXAG — the gold/silver ratio as a single chartable instrument, rather than two charts side by side.
Spot, futures, and ETF charts will not print the same number at the same moment, and that is normal rather than an error. How silver is priced explains where each of those quotes actually comes from.
Timeframes: pick one before you pick anything else
The interval selector in the top-left of the chart changes the story completely. A 15-minute chart is dominated by short-term order flow. The daily chart is the one most active traders anchor on. The weekly chart shows the multi-month trend, and the monthly chart exposes the multi-year structure that daily noise hides.
Two practical habits: choose the timeframe that matches your holding period rather than the one that looks most exciting, and check one timeframe above the one you are trading for context. A full walkthrough of candlesticks, moving averages, support and resistance, volume, and the weekly COT report is in how to read a silver chart.
Indicators worth adding to a silver chart
The chart loads with a simple moving average already applied. A short list of additions covers most of what silver traders actually watch:
- 50- and 200-period simple moving averages — the two most widely watched trend markers. Where price sits relative to the 200-day, and which way the 200-day is sloping, is the single most useful trend read.
- Volume — on the futures symbol (SI1!) or SLV, volume is real. On spot forex-style symbols it is a tick count from one broker, so treat it as indicative only.
- RSI (14) — silver is volatile enough that momentum extremes do show up, though they can persist far longer than they do in equities.
- A comparison series — add gold (OANDA:XAUUSD) as an overlay to see whether a silver move is metal-wide or silver-specific. The same question is what the gold/silver ratio answers.
Resist the urge to stack more than three or four studies. A chart with eight indicators does not produce a clearer view; it produces one indicator for whatever you already wanted to believe.
Trading hours and why the chart sometimes flatlines
Silver spot trades continuously from roughly 22:00 UTC on Sunday to 21:00 UTC on Friday, with a short daily break around 21:00–22:00 UTC when liquidity rolls between sessions. If the chart looks frozen on a Saturday, the market is closed rather than the feed being broken. ETF symbols such as SLV only move during US equity hours, which is why an SLV chart shows large overnight gaps that the spot chart does not.
