TradingView has regular and advanced chart types, each one helps analyze the market at a different angle. A Candlestick chart will show you how price moved within a certain time period (i.e. a minute, or day), and Renko charts will show if the trend is up or down.

TradingView comes with a massive library of over 100 prebuilt technical indicators including Volume Profile!

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. TradingView comes with over a hundred pre-built studies for an in-depth market analysis, covering the most popular trading concepts and indicators. 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.

When you are ready to get technical, our charts let you set the price scales to match your type of analysis. There are linear, percent and log axes for drastic price movements. You can use two separate price scales at the same time: one for indicators and one for price movements. Read more about scaling options.

Right-click on the price scale to see possible options: change scaling type, enable auto-scaling or show another price scale. Right-clicking on indicators lets you choose which scale to use, so several data series with different scaling can co-exist in one chart. You can also drag price and time scales to increase or decrease compression.

Conversation is a real-time chat, so you can talk to other people looking at the same symbol. In the chat you send links to your charts, and talk about them with people analyzing the same ticker. Conversations let you discuss current market conditions here and now, while publishing charts is your vision of the future.

Being able to publish and share your ideas is one of the key features of TradingView. Publishing will share your trading idea with the financial web and the investing community so that others can comment and rate it. Learn more about Publishing on TradingView.
