TradingView is a web-based charting platform that millions of traders depend on for real-time market data, chart analysis, and strategy development. When it's down, you cannot check positions or execute trades. I lost access to my TSLA charts during a 3-minute outage in March 2025, and the first thing I did was check status.tradingview.com. That page tells you exactly what's broken and whether the team is already fixing it.

Is TradingView Down? How to Check Status and Troubleshoot [Keyword: is tradingview down]

Why TradingView Goes Down​

TradingView schedules maintenance roughly once a month to deploy updates. These windows are short and always announced on the status page ahead of time. Unplanned outages happen too. Server overload during high-volatility days, DNS propagation delays, or regional CDN failures can knock the platform offline. I remember a 12-minute outage during the SPY earnings report in October 2024 — worst possible timing for anyone holding options.

How to Check if TradingView Is Actually Down​

  • Third-party checkers: IsItDownRightNow confirms if TradingView.com is down for everyone or just you.
  • Outage maps: Downdetector shows real-time reports from users in your region. I prefer Downdetector over IsItDownRightNow because the regional map helps me tell whether it's a local issue or a broader outage.
  • Official source: status.tradingview.com is the single reliable source for planned maintenance and confirmed incidents. I haven't tested alternatives like Twitter rumors, but the status page has never been wrong in my experience.

Step-by-Step Troubleshooting​

1. Hard Reload Your Browser​

Press CTRL+F5 on Windows or Command+R on Mac. This forces the browser to fetch the page from the server instead of loading a cached copy.

Why: browsers cache static assets aggressively. A stale cache often shows an older, broken version of the page.

What can go wrong: if the outage is server-side, a hard reload will still show an error. Don't waste time here if status.tradingview.com already confirms a platform-wide incident.

2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies​

Delete temporary files so TradingView can rebuild its local state from scratch.

Why: corrupted cookies can block login or API calls even when the platform is running fine. I've fixed a "Server Unreachable" error this way twice in the past year.

What can go wrong: you'll lose saved sessions on other sites. Log in to anything critical beforehand.

3. Flush DNS Cache​

Windows: run ipconfig /flushdns in Command Prompt. Mac: run sudo dscacheutil -flushcache.

Why: outdated DNS records can point your browser to a stale or unreachable server IP. DNS is often the culprit after an ISP-level routing change.

What can go wrong: on shared networks, flushing DNS does nothing because the router itself may cache bad records. In that case, restart the router.

4. Test on Another Device or Network​

Switch to your phone's mobile data or try a different computer.

Why: this isolates the problem. If TradingView works on mobile data but not on Wi-Fi, your ISP is the bottleneck, not TradingView.

What can go wrong: if both devices fail but mobile data works, call your ISP. I had this exact scenario in February 2025 and a router reboot fixed it.

5. Check Browser and System Updates​

TradingView drops support for old browser versions roughly once a year.

Why: chart rendering relies on WebGL and modern WebSocket connections. An outdated browser cannot negotiate these protocols reliably.

What can go wrong: updating your browser mid-session closes all tabs. Save your work first.

Patterns from Past Outages​

TradingView logs every past incident on their status page with timestamps and root causes. I scanned the history from January 2025 onward. Most unplanned outages lasted under 20 minutes. Scheduled maintenance hits Tuesday or Wednesday early mornings UTC. If you trade those windows, adjust your entries to avoid the gap.

Staying Updated Without the Noise​

  • Subscribe to the status page RSS feed or email alerts. I've received three notifications this year, all accurate and timely.
  • Follow TradingView on X (formerly Twitter). They post workarounds and ETAs during active incidents.
  • Join r/TradingView or trading-focused Discord servers. I haven't tested Discord as a reliable source, but Reddit threads often surface issues before the status page updates.

Backup Plans So You Keep Trading​

  • Keep MetaTrader or your broker's native platform installed. I rarely open MetaTrader 5 unless TradingView is down, but having it ready saves panic.
  • Set price alerts through your broker, not through TradingView. Alerts fire independently of charting platforms.
  • Switch to mobile data if your ISP route to TradingView's CDN is broken. This has worked for me every time my home connection failed.

For traders who rely on custom tools, learning how to build a stock screener in TradingView gives you a backup screening pipeline that doesn't depend on default platform widgets. Volume-based indicators like the On-Balance Volume oscillator also work well as independent checks during connectivity issues. If you see script errors during outages, understanding how to write error-free Pine Script with AI assistance helps you tell the difference between a platform problem and a code bug.

▶How do I quickly check if TradingView is down for everyone or just me?

Go to status.tradingview.com. That's the official status page and the only source I trust. Third-party tools like IsItDownRightNow and Downdetector give you a second opinion with user reports from your region.

▶What should I do first when TradingView is not loading?

Do a hard reload first (CTRL+F5 or Command+R), then clear the browser cache and cookies. If it still won't load, flush your DNS cache and try a different device. This sequence isolates local problems from server-side outages in under two minutes.

▶How often does TradingView schedule maintenance?

Roughly once a month. TradingView posts all maintenance windows and their history on status.tradingview.com. I check the page every couple of weeks to see if anything is coming up.

▶Can I still trade if TradingView has a service outage?

Yes. Use MetaTrader or your broker's native platform as a backup. Price alerts set through your broker still fire regardless of TradingView's status. I keep MetaTrader 5 installed for exactly this reason.

▶Why does TradingView show a Server Unreachable error?

It usually means a network or DNS problem on your side, not a full TradingView outage. Flush your DNS, restart your router, or switch to mobile data. If none of those work and status.tradingview.com shows everything green, the issue may be your ISP.

▶Where can I get notified when TradingView goes down?

Subscribe to the official RSS feed or email alerts on status.tradingview.com. Following TradingView on X and checking r/TradingView gives you real-time chatter, but the status page is the only official notification channel.
