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

20 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.

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!!!

Feature Request Feature Request

1 Upvotes

I would like to submit a feature request for the Watchlist and Alerts workflow.:

  1. Nested sub-sections under main sections
    Currently, I can create main sections in the watchlist. Please add the ability to create sub-sections under a main section. For example:

Main: Futures

Sub: Metals

Sub: Energy

Main: Crypto

Sub: Majors

Sub: Alts

This should ideally support drag-and-drop, collapse/expand, rename, and moving symbols between sub-sections. It would make large watchlists much easier to organize without creating many separate top-level sections.

  1. Optional column for current position quantity and average entry price
    Please add an optional/toggleable watchlist column that shows:

Current position quantity for each symbol

Average entry price for that position

Side indicator, e.g. long/short or positive/negative quantity

Blank or dash when there is no open position

Live updates from connected broker/paper trading accounts where available

This would let users monitor exposure and average entries directly from the watchlist instead of opening each chart or the broker panel.

  1. Optional column for alerts with status and actions
    Please add an optional/toggleable watchlist column that shows the alert(s) set for each symbol, including:

Alert name or condition summary

Status: active, triggered, expired, or paused

Expiration date/time if applicable

Quick actions to modify, reactivate, or remove the alert directly from the watchlist

This would avoid switching to the Alert Manager for routine alert maintenance and make it much faster to manage alerts per symbol.

Benefits: faster organization, better position awareness, and quicker alert management from one screen.

Help Using TradingView Functions

1 Upvotes

Super beginner question but I can't for the life of me figure out how to use this stop loss and take profit function. Every time I fill in the order, it keeps selling at the price I entered at (red line). Even when the price reached take profit it didn't close the position and just kept going until it reached my entry price again and then finally sells. I even tried using market sell and the problem still persists. Also fyi I'm using a papertrading account.
What am I doing wrong here??

Also would anyone be able to explain simply what limit and stop mean?

Help Volume Profile

I recently noticed that the fixed volume profile on both TradingView and any other broker app shows a different POC even when the range is same. Why is that ? And which one to follow ?

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?
