However, because it is a free version, during use you will have to accept annoying ads, although it is not too thin.
2. Premium Accounts (Pro, Pro+ and Premium)
If you want to become a professional trader and have been using the free version for a while, but lack the necessary features, then upgrading to the paid version is advisable. TradingView has 3 levels of premium accounts, Pro, Pro+ and Premium, the features at these account levels are almost the same, the difference in higher premium accounts is that TradingView will provide you with Much improved features.
You will feel a remarkable convenience when you just switch from Basic to premium accounts. For example:
- With the Basic account, you can only view 1 chart, while with the Premium version you can view 8 charts at the same time.
- With Basic and Pro accounts, you can only log in to 1 device at a time, while for Premium version it is 5.
- For the Basic version, you are only allowed to save 1 chart, while the Premium version allows you to save unlimited.
- With the Basic version, you can only use 3 indicators per chart, with the Premium version it is 25.
Of course, it’s not just a feature upgrade between the low-cost version and the high-paid version. For users of the Premium version, TradingView also prioritizes providing some special features that are not available in other versions.
With the price of the Pro monthly payment of $ 14.95 (if paying annually, it will only be $ 12.95), this is a price that can be said to be very accessible to the majority.
