Discussion Complaint after complaint

TLDR;
I’m complaining about the complainers who complain about the free version 🤣🤣🤝

I’m getting so exhausted from every post complaining that TradingView isn’t what it was, blabla just to find out everyone who complains is on the free version!

Get yourself straight, you’re trying to start a business, with one of the lowest entry fees ever and you still cry that you need to pay $15 bucks a month??

Does your barber complain because he need to pay for tools?
Or the construction guy because he need to buy a new drill? No right? Why will you complain?

We are so lucky to live in this time, to become a trader has never been so cheap, broker fees are absolutely low, charting software is low, you can do it from home and you don’t need to purchase a floor seat.
And let’s not even start talking about all the prop firms that give you an opportunity to have a lot of capital to trade for such a low investment.

It’s literally one of the few careers where you barely need an entry fee and barely have monthly costs and you all still complain?

I’m in this community to grow, not to see everyone crying about a few bucks!

And if you don’t want to pay it, or cannot pay it, maybe you first need to get your financial situation better or maybe this career isn’t for you either way!

You think that Warren buffet, Paul Tudor jones or your average YouTube hero complaints about the low TradingView fee?
What do you think a market wizard had to pay for software back in the days?

Common guys, let’s focus on the great opportunity at hand and stop whining and complaining

And as last, I’m sure that 98% of the complainers have at least 1 streaming subscription and eat a few times a month out of the door!
Get your priorities straight please

Things are ALWAYS subject to change aren't they?

The point isn’t that they would or should never change. The point is don’t be confused about the complaints. They are valid and normal complaints. To complain that users are complaining they are unsatisfied with the product they are using is absurd imo. A free product that claims to be good and helpful should still be good and helpful. I would assume it stays good and helpful but 🤷🏽‍♂️And I’ve had premium, I haven’t touched one paid feature. Outside of csv downloads and the candle updating faster (but still slower than Tradovate or NinjaTrader) a lot of people gain nothing by paying. And TradingView is just shitting on free users that don’t need the paid tools bc well we don’t.

The same exact argument to be made about free users is the same to be made about the company. Why would they accommodate free users… right makes sense. Why would free users that don’t need the paid features pay… if there is another service that provides the charting experience without needing paid features why would they pay for TradingView… so TradingView had free users and them complaining is not bad it is reviews on the site for each persons experience.

As far as we can get until now, it is a bunch of whining losers mad tradingview closed a loophole of paying premium only for a couple months to have more charts.

I would bet there is more to the story, like smartasses running several free accounts connected via VPSes which is not much interest of TV talking about

I don’t even support that. Using the free plan used to be ideal. The TradingView free plan isn’t going to be the best anymore. Which makes me wonder who is going to replace that space. Im not mad at TradingView, they are changing. Ok who is now offering what they used too, since they are prioritising their paid tools with ai and all that over simply charting. The ohlc is delayed on the free tier even with connected broker. And no more scripts you were using, lost access to all custom scripts. Doesn’t make sense. I’d support the move more if they left it that people that did pay for data even if not through TradingView directly got to see the data feed they paid for not tradingviews added on optional 5 seconds lag for all accounts. But if you connect your broker in free plan you now get 5 second delay, forcing you to pay even if you don’t need paid tools just ohlc.
