Which do you use or prefer? I've primarily been using Tradingview, but recently started looking at Barchart. While tradingview has really cool charts and indicators, Barchart seems to have a greater depth of info and financial data. I'm currently on a Barchart demo month, and deciding if I'll keep the subscription.
It may be that the two services are complimentary, each filling a different role. I'm curious if other folks have done the comparison, and what they found.
I agree, the TV app is a nice touch. I decided to keep the Barchart subscription and finding a lot of useful data buried in their site. Hoping that Barchart catches up to TV in the App department.
Good call keeping both. Most active traders end up with both open anyway -- they do different things well.
Barchart is a data machine. TradingView is a charting machine. Not much overlap once you dig in.
If you haven't already, check these out on Barchart:
Options flow and futures data -- especially on CL, NG, and the energy complex. Hard to beat.
Their scanners for volume spikes, technical patterns, RSI divergence -- surprisingly solid.
Historical commodity data going back decades. Try finding that elsewhere for ~$30/mo.
On price alone, Barchart Premier at ~$30/mo is a steal for the data you get. TradingView's comparable tiers run $28-57/mo but you're paying more for charting features and Pine Script access than raw data.
TradingView still owns the charting side though -- 100+ indicators, Pine Script, clean desktop app, and the community scripts save a ton of time.
On Barchart's app catching up -- wouldn't hold my breath. Their DNA is the data engine, not UI polish. But yeah, competition keeps everyone honest.
Barchart for research/screening, TradingView for charting/execution. That's a good setup.
Have a good weekend!
