The company was founded in 2011 and has offices in New York, Málaga, Tbilisi and London.[2] As of 2020, the company ranks in the top 130 websites globally according to Alexa.[3]

History

TradingView was founded in 2011. TradingView is headquartered in New York and has its European market headquarters in London.

The platform aims to help users around the world better understand financial markets by discussing investment ideas in an open forum.[4] In the summer of 2013, the project was selected for the startup accelerator Techstars, where it signed contracts with Microsoft and CME.[5] The company later received $3.6 million in funding from iTech Capital and other investors (TechStars, Right Side Capital Management, Irish Angels).[6]

In May 2018, the company closed another round of venture investment for $37 million led by Insight Venture Partners, DRW Venture Capital and Jump Capital, acquiring TradeIT.[7][8] In October 2021, as part of the next round of financing, TradingView was valued at $3 billion and attracted an additional $298 million from investors, including Tiger Global Management.[9][10]

Competitors

TradingView operates in a competitive market for financial charting, market analysis, and algorithmic trading tools. Its main competitors span dedicated trading platforms, broker-integrated environments, and AI-powered strategy automation tools.

MetaTrader 5, developed by MetaQuotes, is a widely used multi-asset trading platform supporting forex, stocks, and futures markets.[11] It offers advanced technical analysis and algorithmic trading via the MQL5 programming language, and integrates order execution natively within the charting environment, distinguishing it from purely analytical platforms.[12]

thinkorswim, owned by Charles Schwab, is a professional-grade trading platform known for its extensive charting capabilities, options analysis tools, and paper trading environment called paperMoney.[13] Schwab inherited the platform following its acquisition of TD Ameritrade in October 2020, with the migration completing in 2023.[14]

NinjaTrader is a futures and forex trading platform founded in 2003 by Raymond Deux in Chicago, Illinois, specialising in highly customisable charting, automated strategy development, and direct market access.[15] In March 2025, NinjaTrader was acquired by cryptocurrency exchange Kraken for $1.5 billion in what was described as the largest-ever acquisition bridging traditional and digital asset trading.[16]

ProRealTime is a web-based and desktop charting platform developed in France, specialising in advanced technical analysis, backtesting, and automated trading via its ProOrder scripting module.[17] Unlike standalone platforms, ProRealTime is not an independent broker; trades are executed through authorised partner brokers including Interactive Brokers, Saxo Bank, and IG. The platform is particularly popular among European traders focusing on CFDs, forex, stocks, and futures.[18]

TrendSpider is an automated technical analysis platform combining real-time charting, AI-assisted pattern recognition, multi-timeframe analysis, and strategy backtesting, covering stocks, ETFs, options, futures, forex, and cryptocurrency.[19] It is noted for its automated trendline and Fibonacci level detection, which removes the need for manual chart drawing.[20]

Koyfin is a financial data and analytics platform founded in 2016 by Rob Koyfman, a former Goldman Sachs analyst, with the aim of providing institutional-quality market data to retail investors and financial advisors at a significantly lower cost than platforms such as the Bloomberg Terminal.[21] The platform emphasises portfolio tracking, customisable dashboards, and market data aggregation, and ranked first in both the Financial Analytics and Investment Portfolio Management categories on G2 in the Winter 2026 report.[22]
