TradingView alternatives: 33 charting, order-flow and research tools
Official sources reviewed ·
TradingView alternatives serve different jobs. This review separates 33 services into charting, order flow, programmable trading, broker execution, investor research and AI companions. The list mixes newer names with established specialists; it does not claim that all 33 launched recently.
If you are moving a custom indicator, start with its runtime. If you need footprint or liquidity charts, start with the data feed. If you need financial research, start with market coverage and screening. BSV is a source-code library for learning and research, with Pine Script and MQL4/MQL5 entries; it is not a broker or an execution terminal.

Which alternatives matter for your own code?
TakeProfit uses Indie and GoCharting documents Lipi. MT4 and MT5 use different MQL runtimes. cTrader currently documents C# and Python. These are migration targets, not a promise that Pine files can be pasted and run unchanged. TradeLocker’s use of TradingView charts also does not provide direct support for TradingView community scripts.

The current BSV reference catalogue has 75 entries: 34 support TradingView, 39 MT4 and 41 MT5. Counts overlap because some entries support both MetaTrader versions. Read the original author, license, source version and verification status. Free source access requires a verified email registration.
