What is TradingView?

TradingView is a charting platform and social network for traders and investors. It supports financial charts across markets such as stocks, forex, crypto, futures, and commodities, and some users can connect supported brokers. Several Pineify workflows use TradingView, including Pine Script generation, the Visual Pine Script Editor, Strategy Optimizer, Backtest Deep Report, Premium Scripts, and the Invite-Only Indicator. Pineify's MQL5, cTrader, and standalone market-research tools do not require TradingView.
