Upgraded plans offer more indicators per chart, more charts per window, alerts, bar replay functionality plus access to the fastest data feed. Simply choose the plan that suits your needs. Log in and your ready to go. All features specific to your plan will then be available to use.

In this following article I’ll go into detail about how to best choose the plan for your needs. I’ll outline what each plan includes. Plus I provide a step by step guide to opening a TradingView subscription.

How to open a TradingView subscription

To get started using Tradingview. Head over to the TradingView membership page.

TradingView offers four subscription or membership options. Each is charged on a monthly or yearly basis. The best value is offered by investing in an annual plan. Annual plans are 16% cheaper than the monthly equivalent. So if you know you will be using TradingView for an extended period. It’s definitely worth going with the annual TradingView subscription.

Simply choose the plan options that suit your needs. In the following section I will provide details about the differences between each TradingView membership option:
