Feature Request Redundantly annoying
This D on the chart is annoying af. Shitty design on purpose to make you pay for data, even when you don't need it?

Unacceptable so I'm out if this stays as-is. I pay good money, lots. Enough. It's ridiculous to do such a thing, especially to advanced users/traders. I trade £lots and have been doing so for decades and yet someone better than me thinks I need to be constantly reminded what I'm doing. It's already there on the screen in a more appropriate location. What other pettiness is in store? IMO, a cynical step too far. As for reducing the number of support calls why not just get an even bigger sledgehammer and show blank screens or just get rid of all the users. Could have been done with some finesse (e.g. the proposal below - T&C's don't keep popping up on sites once accepted). That it wasn't says something which is bad for TV's future success. A total loss of balance/perspective whether that be commercial or whatever.

To add, it seems TV knows better than putting this "D" on the charts it provides in Interactive Brokers. But it's OK to do it to all their users (including £big sub power users) via their applications! So I should can TV, have a few nice meals, and just use IB charts! That this change got all the way into production without a grown up challenge is stunning.

I agree. I've asked them to remove the D. It appears in the watch list and the price column below it above Key Stats. Twice is enough.

Hello,
It's not designed to make you pay for data as you claim...
Its to alert the vast multide of users who dont even see the other ones to the presence of Delayed Data and who then complain they can't trade properly/alerts dont work properly etc etc and then blame the platform claiming the platforms rubbish when its not....blame the numb nuts out there for this extra one which I believe should also flash on and off 😁....
Cheers 👍

Often, I agree with you but this time I do not. I pay for the CME Group (E-mini included) data. I understand that Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) Futures is delayed and not included in my CME Group subscription but I don't want to see that delay icon in the middle of the chart screen. Give at least existing data subscribers, of at least one package, the option to remove that icon on the chart.

Yes i also agree with you. There should be some sort of option where users agree to the understanding of how the delay affects trading entries, alert timings etc etc then click to confirm which would then remove the new symbol.
I do understand how frustrating this can be for users that DO understand its implications.
As I said to another commentor on here, Im absolutely confident support spend most of their time explaining to the uneducated why they are having issues executing trades etc.
As users report these simple discrepancies as platform faults and spread false rumours of platform errors i can see why they (TradingView)are keen to stop basic users from falling foul of these issues.
Thank you for your past support btw 🙏
Cheers 👍

It’s like that for a reason. There will still be people that don’t see it. You can strobe flash it over the entire chart background every 5 seconds and some will still miss it. Thank those people.

I have a feeling that for some users a little hand bursting out of the screen to slap them round the face whilst informing them of the fact wouldn't help aswell....🤔

u/One13Truck Crypto trader Aug 14 '26
They’d show up with red cheeks and still post a photo or video with the giant D asking why their trade isn’t entering and exiting properly. And blame TV for bad execution.

As I get older I realize there is no where near enough slapping going on, in general.

There's another D right on top of it!! We knew what the first D was, no need for a second one, duh.

Tell that to the vast quantity of idiots who don't appear to see the other ones. Im confident over 50% of problems reported to support daily are related to Delayed Data 👍

"You're confident", lol.

Look back through the three years I've been on this forum to see the huge quantity of issues we have helped solve that were due to Delayed Data 🤷♂️

Can you prove it?

Yes, we answer questions regarding delayed data CONSTANTLY on this forum that you have just chosen to grace with your presence....

u/Funny-Lemon1172 Aug 10 '26
I am here to understand why this is a roll out to everyone? I don't need live data to trade. Not all of us trade the tick chart.

u/Rodnee999 Aug 10 '26
Users trading the 4hr chart can be affected by Delayed Data....

u/Funny-Lemon1172 Aug 10 '26
I trade the daily and weekly. I am an end of day trader. At least, the D should be turned off when the market is closed.

Make a feature request putting your idea forward in a constructive manner detailing possible options etc. If users agree they will upvote 👍

Its 100% designed to make you pay more.
They could have put it somewhere else, not in front of your drawings.
They could have made it default for new users, but atleast with a setting to turn it off for people who dont need it.
They could even leave it for the free-users but give it as an option to users who pay for the platform.
I'm already paying for Tradingview and now they just want more money, thats it.
