I actually gave TradingView a try a few years ago. It is not at all bad as a trading platform, and yes, the initial trial is with live data. They have a trial period that is very full-featured, and free, and after it's up you can sign up for different plans that have different levels of functionality, for different costs, all fairly modest.
As I recall, once the trial period is done (30 days), to continue with live data you need to have an account with one of a list of associated brokers. You can then use TradingView to trade with them, so it's then simply one of a number of different trading platforms that brokers may offer. Otherwise, and again this is my recollection, you will be using delayed data.
TradingView is pretty good if it suits your needs. For me, looking at it was part of a search for a new platform and I took a number of trials to test different platforms (and settled on a different one.} But I am pretty sure you need that brokerage connection if you want to keep receiving real-time data after the 30-day trial.
So this trial is like everyone else's, and then you need that live trading account. My understanding is that this is a CME requirement, and you're going to run into it no matter where you look.
Good luck, and I hope you settle on a solution that works for you.

yes, they accept UK clients, as do other USA brokers. The crucial bit is how you are able to fund your account, AMP allows you to use SEPA or currency firms such as World First UK or Transferwise, among others to combat the high fees banks in the UK etc charge you for wiring funds to a USA broker. Trade Station is another such broker. But you can always chat to a USA broker that interests you to ascertain how to move funds at a good rate of exchange with SEPA or a currency broker intermediary.
FWIW, AMP is probably the least expensive game in town. In the US at least, if you don't need market depth for DOM trading, you can get level 1 top-of-book CQG data for indices and currencies for $1/month. The full CME top of book bundle is $3/mo. If you need level 2, then it's $10/mo or $30 for the full bundle.
