Free TradingView alternative: Premium-level charting, currently free
Looking for a free TradingView alternative? SuperCharting gives every account 16 charts per tab, 50 indicators per chart and 1,000 alerts, free today.
If you want a free TradingView alternative that does not cut the chart down to a single screen and a handful of indicators, SuperCharting is built for that. It runs in the browser, it is currently free to use, and every account gets the same limits, which match the list TradingView publishes for its Premium plan. This page explains what you get for nothing, where it differs from TradingView, and how to move your daily routine across in about ten minutes.
What a free TradingView alternative should give you
Most people searching for a free alternative are not looking for "less TradingView". They want the parts they use every day without a monthly bill: several charts side by side, enough indicators to keep their usual set on one chart, alerts that keep running after the tab is closed, and a scripting language they already know. A free site that offers one chart and three indicators only moves the problem somewhere else.
SuperCharting gives every signed-in account these limits, with no paid plan required today:
| What | Limit on every account |
|---|---|
| Charts per tab (layout) | 16 |
| Indicators per chart | 50 |
| Bars of history per chart | 40,000 (as far back as the data feed goes) |
| Chart pages open at once | 200 |
| Price alerts | 1,000 |
| Technical alerts (script, multi-condition, strategy) | 1,000 |
| Watchlist alerts | 15 |
| Alert expiry | can be left open-ended |
Those numbers come from the site's own limit settings, the same ones the error messages quote when you reach a limit. TradingView's paid plans raise its own limits in a similar way; check TradingView's pricing page for its current figures.
What SuperCharting does for free
The free account is the whole workstation, not a trial:
- Charting: candles, hollow candles, bars, line, area, baseline, Heikin Ashi, Renko, Kagi, Line break, Point & figure and Range charts, plus Volume candles, Volume footprint and Time price opportunity. See chart types.
- Indicators: more than 200 built-in scripts in the Indicators dialog, indicator templates, and indicators on indicators, for example an EMA of the RSI.
- Pine-compatible scripts: a Pine Editor that compiles version 6 syntax, shows errors with line numbers, and adds the script to the chart. See the Pine Script editor guide.
- Strategy Tester and optimiser: a full report (key stats, performance, trades analysis, list of trades) and an Optimise button that searches input ranges.
- Alerts: price, script, strategy and multi-condition alerts with up to 5 conditions, delivered as a toast, a sound, a webhook or a Telegram message with a chart picture. Alerts run on the site, so closing the browser does not stop them.
- Bar Replay, custom intervals such as 45m or 2D, second and tick charts, and Download chart data to CSV.
- Markets: Indian exchanges (NSE, BSE, MCX and F&O) through the site's Angel One feed, plus forex, gold and other markets where a feed is available. Data is live when the market is open and the feed allows.
Honest differences from TradingView
A fair comparison has to say what is different, not only what is the same.
- Community size. TradingView has a very large public library of community scripts and ideas. SuperCharting's community scripts library is young and much smaller.
- Data coverage. SuperCharting is strongest on Indian markets and the major forex and gold symbols. It does not sell exchange data packages, so coverage depends on the feeds the site has.
- Second and tick charts are built from the live quotes the site has received for that symbol, so a symbol nobody has watched starts with little history on those intervals.
- Footprint and volume profile charts are built from intraday candles (one-minute at best), not from tick-by-tick bid and ask data.
- Pine compatibility is broad but not complete. For example,
request.securityresamples price sources to a higher timeframe but not the output of another script. - The AI assistant, TV Pilot, is switched on per account by the site owner, so not every account has it. See TV Pilot.
None of this makes either platform "better" for everyone. If you live in TradingView's community feed, you will miss it. If you want a large multi-chart workspace, alerts and backtests without paying, the free account covers it.
How to set up your TradingView routine in SuperCharting
- Go to /signup and create an account with your email address. No card is asked for.
- On the chart, click the symbol name and search for your first market, for example
NSE:NIFTY, then pick the interval from the interval menu (for example 15m). - Click Layout setup in the top bar and choose a 4-chart grid. Under Sync in layout, switch on Symbol if all four charts should follow one ticker, or leave it off to watch four different markets.
- Click Indicators, metrics, and strategies, search by short name (for example "RSI" or "VWAP") and add your usual set. Save it with Indicator templates so the next chart takes one click.
- Open Create alert and set your first alert. Choose Open-ended under Expiration if you do not want it to lapse.
- Paste any open-source script you use into the Pine Editor, click Add to chart, and fix anything the compiler flags with its line number.
- Save the layout from the layout menu with Save layout. It is stored in your account, so it opens on any browser.
A practical example
A swing trader who follows NSE:NIFTY, NSE:BANKNIFTY, XAUUSD and EURUSD can put all four on one tab, each on 1h with a 20 and 50 EMA, RSI 14 and VWAP. That is 16 indicators across four charts, far inside the 50-per-chart limit, with a "Crossing" price alert on each round number. Adding a fifth to eighth chart later, for example the daily view of each, needs no upgrade. The multiple charts guide shows more grid ideas.
Will it stay free?
SuperCharting is free today: there is no plan you must buy to use the charts, scripts, tester or alerts. The site has paid plans prepared, so the owner may introduce them later; this page will be updated if that happens. Anything you build now (layouts, scripts, alerts) is stored in your account either way.
Frequently asked questions
Is SuperCharting really free?
Yes, it is currently free. Every account gets the same limits listed above, and no payment details are needed to sign up.
Can I use my TradingView indicators?
Open-source Pine scripts can be pasted into the Pine Editor. Many compile as they are, as Pine-compatible scripts; when something is not supported, the editor says which line.
Does it need a broker account?
No. Indian charts use the site's Angel One feed and other markets use the feeds the site has. You can also save your own broker details on the Broker connections page.
Is SuperCharting part of TradingView?
No. It is an independent product that follows TradingView's layout closely so the controls feel familiar. TradingView is a trademark of TradingView, Inc.; SuperCharting is not affiliated with it.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The same account opens in a phone browser with a phone layout and a Draw button for drawing tools. See mobile charting.
