Trading View Trading Platform

If you have been trading for a while then you would have come across the trading platform TradingView. My personal opinion of trading view is that it is the most fluid and easy to navigate platform out there.

TradingView is an advanced financial visualization platform with the ease of use of a modern website. Whether you are looking at basic price charts or plotting complex spread symbols with overlayed strategy backtesting, TradingView has the tools and data you need to take your trading to the next level.

The number of traders that are active daily on TradingView through the social network is next level and the content on there is great for learning if you are a newbie to trading. You can connect to millions of traders from all the world, discuss trading analysis and ideas.

News and Headlines

The News section is simply a list of headlines with a small preview. This is one area I think that they could improve on by having a dedicated news page instead of just the panel

Tools like Money.Net have unique features like sorting news based on popularity/clicks, as well as interesting news infographics. TradingView would be smart to take note of these features and implement similar features in their own style.

Trading View Charts

TradingView’s simple, sleek, fast, web-based charts are definitely their strength. I have yet to see a charting package come close to the user experience I had when using TradingView charts. They are smooth when zooming in and out, as opposed to jerky like every other charting platform I’ve used. There is an indescribable comfort and satisfaction when using a TradingView chart compared with any other chart. You can tell the designers thought out each detail meticulously, like where each button will be, how the sidebar looks, everything down to the animation of populating a textbox looks engineered.

Server Side Alerts

TradingView alerts are immediate notifications when the market meet your custom criteria – i.e. “Alert me if Apple drops below $400, or goes outside the Bollinger Bands channel”. You get visual popups, audio signals, text messages (sms) and email alerts right to your phone. There are 12 different alert conditions which can be applied on indicators or drawing tools. All your alerts run on powerful and backed-up servers, so you’ll always get notified when something happens and won’t miss a beat.

Broad Market Data Coverage

TradingView is fed by a professional commercial data feed, with direct access to stocks, futures, all major indices, Forex, Bitcoin, and CFDs. You can get premium data on prices, volume and history streamed directly from the US and international exchanges.

Customized Technical Analysis

TradingView comes with over a hundred pre-built studies for in-depth market analysis, covering the most popular trading concepts and indicators. But we realized that even this isn’t enough for all our users and we built the Pine programming language. Pine script allows you to create and share your own custom studies and signals. A key advantage of Pine script is that any study’s code can easily be modified. Nearly any custom indicator can also be created from scratch.

TradingView has four unique account tiers:

● Free
● Pro
● Pro+
● Premium

Depending on one’s trading/investing style, a certain plan may be tailored to your needs. For example, the casual investor who buys and holds will be more than fine with the free tier, as TradingView offers vast functionality for free.

If you are a complete newbie then the free version is more than enough however if you are looking to add more indicators or have multiple charts up at the same time then a pro subscription is needed.

Trading with multiple charts at the same time is really helpful in my personal opinion especially if you have a few pairs you are looking to trade. This way you will not miss trading opportunities if and when they appear.
