TradingView

Industry-standard charting platform. Free tier works; paid unlocks more timeframes and indicators.

Best chart rendering and drawing tools. Alerts, indicators, and annotations all live here, and it is where the actual analysis gets done. The only real question is which tier you need, and the honest answer for a structure-based system is: far less than you think. ### What the tiers actually give you TradingView's own pricing page currently lists Basic, Essential, Plus, Premium and Ultimate. The limits that matter: - **Basic (free):** 2 indicators per chart, 1 chart per tab, 3 active price alerts, 5K bars of history. - **Essential:** 5 indicators, 2 charts per tab, 20 alerts, 10K bars, no ads. - **Plus:** 10 indicators, 4 charts per tab, 100 alerts. - **Premium:** 25 indicators, 8 charts per tab, 400 alerts, 20K bars. - **Ultimate:** 50 indicators, 16 charts per tab, 1,000 alerts, 40K bars. ### What that means for *this* system The TradeInTune toolkit is two indicators. RSI, for divergence, and an FX Market Sessions indicator, so you know whether you are even in a tradeable window. That is exactly the two slots the free tier gives you, with nothing missing and nothing to spare. The paid tiers are mostly selling indicator slots and alert counts, and a system built on structure and drawings barely touches either, so the higher ones are largely capacity you will not use. The one free-tier limit you *will* feel is **1 chart per tab**. The External Factors check reads EURUSD against DXY across the 4H, Daily, 15M and 30M, and the structure rules make you confirm a break against its neighbouring timeframes. On Basic that is constant tab-flipping. The first paid tier's second chart in one tab is precisely the upgrade that buys you something real. Everything above it is optional. The 3-alert cap also gets tight quickly once you start marking POIs in advance. ### The gotcha nobody mentions TradingView's forex data is *not* your broker's feed, and it timestamps candles on a timezone you choose rather than your broker's server clock. MT5 shows broker server time instead, and broker servers commonly sit at GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in summer so the daily candle closes at the 5pm New York reset. So the same pair, on the same timeframe, can print slightly different candles on TradingView and on MT5. When your entry rule hinges on where a candle body closed, that difference is not trivia, it is the trade. Chart wherever you like, but decide which platform is your source of truth for structure and never quietly switch mid-analysis.
