TradingView

TradingView is a charting and market analysis platform used by over 100 million traders globally for stocks, cryptocurrency, forex, futures, and indices. It provides an extensive chart customization and technical analysis toolset as a web-based platform, with a large library of community-built custom indicators and a Pine Script language for creating custom technical analysis tools.

The platform is actively maintained with no public version numbering. Its newest feature, AI Copilot, launched September 28, 2026 as a paid add-on available on every paid plan (Essential, Plus, Premium, Ultimate). It was previously a browser-extension public beta and is now built natively into the Supercharts side panel on web and desktop, though it is not yet available on mobile.

Key capabilities include multi-timeframe and multi-symbol charts, a large community indicator library, Pine Script for custom indicator development, stock and crypto screeners, economic calendar, news integration, and broker connections for direct trading (Interactive Brokers, Alpaca, and others), plus paper trading. AI Copilot can see your chart and TradingView data (quotes, indicators, financials, news, earnings, screener results), switch symbols and layouts, add indicators, draw levels, create alerts and watchlists, and write and apply Pine Script, subject to a monthly usage limit (Pine Script requests use more of that limit). Separately, each paid tier includes a metered AI screener requests allowance: 100 per month on Essential, 150 on Plus, 250 on Premium, and 500 on Ultimate; Basic includes none.

Pricing: Basic is free forever with no credit card required, offering 1 chart per tab, 2 indicators per chart, 5K historical bars, 3 price alerts, a single 30-symbol watchlist, and one saved chart layout. Essential is $14.95 per month billed monthly, or $12.95 per month if billed annually, and adds more indicators, alerts, and 100 AI screener requests. Plus is $34.95 per month billed monthly, or $29.95 per month billed annually, with more charts and 150 AI screener requests. Premium is $69.95 per month billed monthly, or $59.95 per month billed annually, with more indicators, alerts, and 250 AI screener requests. Ultimate is $239.95 per month billed monthly, or $199.95 per month billed annually, with the highest limits and 500 AI screener requests; it is also the only plan available to professional (non-retail) users. An Enterprise tier with custom pricing is available for organizations needing 100 or more subscriptions. AI Copilot is sold as a separate add-on on top of any paid plan, renewing monthly; its price is not published on TradingView's pricing page or support articles.

Limitations: the free Basic plan is quite restrictive for serious technical analysis, limited to one chart per tab, two indicators per chart, and only three price alerts, with no AI screener requests included. Pine Script has a learning curve for building custom indicators. Monthly billing costs noticeably more than annual billing across every paid tier, and the Ultimate tier is expensive for retail traders while also being the only option for professional accounts. AI Copilot adds an undisclosed extra cost on top of a paid plan and is currently limited to web and desktop, with no mobile support, and TradingView notes it may occasionally make mistakes.

Best suited for active traders and investors across any asset class who need professional-grade charting and technical analysis tools — from casual users testing the free Basic plan to professional traders building custom strategies and using AI-assisted chart work on higher tiers.
