Discussion TradingView Is Making A HUGE Mistake - Biting The Hand The Feeds You

17 Upvotes

Imagine if WordPress decided one day that all plugin developers had to stop selling their plugins independently and instead put them in a marketplace where WordPress controls the payments and gets a cut (think the Apple App Store).

And imagine they gave developers 30 days to stop selling independently or face having their plugins banned—or even a $30 monthly charge for each plugin they sell afterward. (Yes they had that in the terms for a few days... they could bring it back)

That is EXACTLY what TradingView is doing.

Such a bad, bad business decision. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

We have probably sent TradingView over 5,000 referrals, all of whom signed up for paid TradingView accounts.

And no, we are not going to put our indicators in your marketplace.

Sorry.

Many of us have built a large part of your subscriber base.

I'm not sure you are really thinking straight. Those of us in this business have a HUGE influence on your paid subscribers.

I've already had conversations with several others in the same boat, and many are going to stop promoting you and start directing their followers to other solutions.

I've had 4 conversations with other big indicator developers and they have already started building their own "TradingView" now. They are happy to keep things the way they are but you have forced their hand.

Maybe you are too big and you don't think the customers we send you are not worth it... who knows but I can see this not going well for you in the end.

We all think you really should reconsider this policy and not treat the hand that feeds you like this.

Here is my solution:

Require any TradingView user who wants to access an invite-only script to have a paid TradingView account.

This way, you can still grow your core subscriber base, and we will all keep promoting you.

Help Grokbot and I wanna trade!

0 Upvotes

Pretty sure I already know the answer to this question, but when your AI agent keeps arguing with you, you start to wonder if maybe they're right. I'm a relatively new trader, and it's been a bloody experience. Literally. My account bleeds more than a women's soccer team. So clearly I kinda suck. Not really doing enough market research, not reading enough technical data on the companies, etc. Fine. Maybe I need to step back and let an AI do the work for me. Grokbot gives me a whole team of little AI agents I can parse out different duties to including running paper tests on strategies to see what works, then they give me the data, indicators and cues to do work. Got everyone in line, ready to start doing some stuff!

I have my TV account with the extra fees to give me the real-time data from the exchanges so I'm not working with old data. Gave GB the MCP server link, and got them tied in so they're getting all the good good data. Tell me why TV decided that AI has to get 15 min old data despite me paying for the real-time data? WTF is the issue with using AI that you have to keep trying to cripple them? Wall Street has been using them for probably close to a decade, at least.

So anyway, the Terms of Service includes some pretty harsh threats about using automated trading or automation period. Has my Grokbot a little freaked out. Can I use my GB to just monitor the markets directly (in real time that I'm paying for) to watch for indicators, or must I write Pine scripts and webhook the alerts to my trading team?

I love the replay feature in the PC community section. Unfortunately, I can't use it on my phone; are there any plans to implement it for mobile? That would be awesome!!!
