I know this is a bit old, but I am just trying out TradingView's widgets now. This helped a lot. Turns out TradingView is in the process of changing the way their widget scripts are loaded and I thought I might share the way I figured out how to make a reusable component for both their old and new loading methods. Enjoy:

Here is the injected version (newer):

 import { AfterViewInit, Component, ElementRef, Input, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';

 @Component( {
   selector: 'rip-trading-view-fundamentals',
   template: `
       

           


       
   `,
 } )

 export class TradingViewFundamentalsComponent implements AfterViewInit {

   // allows for loading with any symbol
   @Input() symbol: string = '';
   settings: any = {};
   // id for being able to check for errors using postMessage
   widgetId: string = '';

   // wanted to be able to hide the widget if the symbol passed in was invalid (don't love their sad cloud face)
   @ViewChild( 'containerDiv', { static: false } ) containerDiv: ElementRef;

   constructor( private _elRef: ElementRef ) {
   }

   ngAfterViewInit() {
     // need to do this in AfterViewInit because of the Input
     setTimeout( () => {
       this.widgetId = `${ this.symbol }_fundamnetals`;

       // postMessage listener for handling errors
       if ( window.addEventListener ) {
         window.addEventListener( 'message', ( e: any ) => {
             if ( e && e.data ) {
               console.log( e );
               const payload = e.data;
               // if the frameElementId is from this component, the symbol was no good and we should hide the widget
               if ( payload.name === 'tv-widget-no-data' && payload.frameElementId === this.widgetId ) {
                 this.containerDiv.nativeElement.style.display = 'none';
               }
             }
           },
           false,
         );
       }


       this.settings = {
         symbol: this.symbol,
         colorTheme: 'light',
         isTransparent: false,
         largeChartUrl: '',
         displayMode: 'regular',
         height: 300,
         autosize: true,
         locale: 'en',
       };
       const script = document.createElement( 'script' );
       script.src = 'https://s3.tradingview.com/external-embedding/embed-widget-financials.js';
       script.async = true;
       script.id = this.widgetId;
       script.innerHTML = JSON.stringify( this.settings );
       this.containerDiv.nativeElement.appendChild( script );
       const brandingDiv = document.createElement( 'div' );
       brandingDiv.innerHTML = `
     

     
     ${ this.symbol } Fundamental Data
               by TradingView
           
 `;

     } );
   }

 }

And here is the older version, via global TradingView object used loading their library in your index.html:

import { AfterViewInit, Component, ElementRef, HostListener, Input, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Logger } from '../../helpers/logger.service';

// declaration so Typescript knows about the TradingView object loaded in from index.html
declare const TradingView: any;

@Component( {
  selector: 'rip-trading-view-symbol-overview',
  template: `
      

  `,
} )

export class TradingViewSymbolOverviewComponent implements AfterViewInit {

  chart: any;
  // allows for loading with any symbol and description
  @Input() symbol: string = '';
  @Input() description: string = '';
  // id for being able to check for errors using postMessage
  widgetId: string = '';

  // wanted to be able to hide the widget if the symbol passed in was invalid (don't love their sad cloud face)
  @ViewChild( 'containerDiv', { static: false } ) containerDiv: ElementRef;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    // need to do this in AfterViewInit because of the Input
    setTimeout( () => {
      this.widgetId = `overview_${ this.symbol }`;

      // postMessage listener for handling errors
      if ( window.addEventListener ) {
        window.addEventListener( 'message', ( e: any ) => {
            if ( e && e.data ) {
              console.log( e );
              const payload = e.data;
              if (
                // if the frameElementId is from this component, the symbol was no good and we should hide the widget
                payload.name === 'tv-widget-no-data' && payload.frameElementId === this.widgetId ) {
                // console.log( 'No data available for the symbol profile widget' );
                this.containerDiv.nativeElement.style.display = 'none';
              }
            }
          },
          false,
        );
      }


      this.chart = new TradingView.MediumWidget( {
        container_id: this.widgetId,
        symbols: [
          [
            this.description,
            this.symbol,
          ],
          // could load more symbols, but we just needed the one at a time for now
          // [
          //   'Google',
          //   'GOOGL',
          // ],
          // [
          //   'Microsoft',
          //   'MSFT',
          // ],
        ],
        id: this.widgetId,
        chartOnly: false,
        // 'width': 1000,
        height: 300,
        autosize: true,
        locale: 'en',
        colorTheme: 'light',
        gridLineColor: '#F0F3FA',
        trendLineColor: '#1b66ae',
        fontColor: '#787B86',
        underLineColor: 'rgba(145,196,242,0.35)',
        isTransparent: false,
      } );
    } );
  }

}

If anyone has notes on how this can be further improved, I'm all ears and I hope these solutions help anyone searching for answers as there aren't alot out there and while TradingView seems to answer emails pretty quick, they don't have any docs that I could find on their site for help like this.
