Because of the large number of market participants, trading and investing have become practically impossible without referring to charts.
The desktop trading software offered by your broker may not have the indicators you require to take a decision on buying or selling a stock. If it is useful to you, there’s no point in uninstalling it. Why remove it when you can use it along with a charting platform such as TradingView?
TradingView is an excellent platform but it has some drawbacks. For example, you cannot remove the status bar having these menus – stock screener, pine editor, strategy tester, and paper trading. Another drawback of this tool is that you can see only one chart at a time unless you purchase one of its subscription plans.
If you think that TradingView has some limitations and you’re looking for its alternatives, use the following software:
Best TradingView alternatives
ChartIQ
ChartIQ is a leading charting library. Unfortunately, the developers of this library haven’t introduced a website where users can view graphs of their favorite stocks. Many popular stock brokers have purchased the library and integrated the same with their applications. CIQ offers every top indicator available in TradingView and has a beautiful interface. It is employed by Zerodha, Citi, Yahoo Finance, etc. If your broker doesn’t offer CIQ graphs, sign in to YF with your Google or AOL account or create a new account and log in. The graphs generated by CIQ are beautiful.
GoCharting
GoCharting isn’t as popular as TradingView but is a good alternative to it. It gives users access to more than 140 indicators and technical analysis tools. If you have suffered heavy losses or want to learn trading/investing before buying a scrip, you can use GC’s built-in paper trading module. The primary difference between the two platforms is live data. If a market is open, you can see its live data for free on TradingView but you cannot do so with its counterpart. Thus, you’ll have to refresh the chart manually to see the recent price on the chart if you don’t want to purchase a premium plan of this application. Another big difference between the two tools is that the premium feature of TradingView is available for free in GC. The price of the paid/premium plans of GC starts at 14.95 dollars.
StockCharts
One of the oldest web applications on this list is StockCharts. SC lets users see many charts on a single screen and offers two types of charts – ACP and Sharp. Sharp graphs appear old-fashioned but are not inferior to TradingView when it comes to performance and accuracy. ACP graphs have a modern appearance and support many layouts like its counterpart. Another cool feature of SC is its powerful customizable scanner tool that you can use to build custom scanners. SC has introduced three plans – Basic, Extra, and Pro. The plans cost 14.95, 24.95, and 39.95 dollars respectively. Each plan supports 25 overlays and indicators and supports advanced alerts.
Investing
Investing.com is a good choice if you’re looking for a trusted business news source with a charting tool built-in. It employs TradingView charts instead of offering one of its own. The reason why you may want to use Investing is that it lets you change layouts for free. This web application doesn’t have ads. It calculates and shows the pivot/indicator levels and displays an action beside it. The action can be one of these – buy, sell, or neutral. This TradingView alternative has 15 to 45 years of stock market ticks data. It enables you to create alerts, and compare instruments. You can also create new templates and use them with it.
So these are the top TradingView alternative tools you can use.
