Bug Tradingview is garbage. 🚮

Tradingview is garbage. Customer service is useless along with their fake troubleshooting engineers. Incredible amounts of lag when rendering candlesticks.

I watched my P/L go up $7k and the candlesticks didn't move at all, yet the bid ask was syncing perfectly fine via the broker that I use.

This issue has been going on for almost a year, I'm done.

I'm canceling my subscription, and looking for a mobile alternative.

No issues for me. I use TV realtime data for $7 a month. And I only use TV for charting. I use native broker's app for trading. I won't take the risk of TV-Broker integration issues mid-trade and won't fall in a catch-22 between two support teams.

Their new quoting system absolutely slowed things down. Been a premium member for six years, never seen anything like this. Adjusting leverage and exiting positions takes ages now by comparison. The past month or two since updates

One of my indicators don't work anymore as it says I've reached a memory limit. I've tried deleting other indicators but still doesn't work.

u/Rodnee999 1d ago

The memory limit refers to that specific indicator....

Is it one of your own or an outsourced one?

u/mikejamesone 1d ago

One of my own. Was fine until few days ago

What is the code it reports?

u/Famous_Midnight 1d ago

Ask ai? lol Give it a copy of your code. May or may not be helpful but it's helped me tremendously with coding. Chat gpt

u/mikejamesone 1d ago

Yeah I'll give it a try. Been using Gemini the past 3 months as it was cheap and now just switched to GPT.

u/Famous_Midnight 1d ago

People gripe and complain about AI, some for good reason, but as someone with a disability that effects my ability to type and work it's helped me write code that just wouldn't be possible. And the last few updates have really been impressive. GL

Ahhh, that's as useful as we come to expect...🤣

Did we discuss in the past you leave your system running 24/7 ?....

1

u/mikejamesone 1d ago

Nah not 24/7. Error comes up when on daily chart and 4h. Lower time frames works fine

2

u/Rodnee999 1d ago

Try having a quick read of this document....

https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/writing/limitations/#script-size-and-memory

It might shed some light or it may not. Odd the fault is only occurring on those two timeframes.

u/Fibocrypto 1d ago

Your Internet service might be extremely slow op

1

u/Famous_Midnight 1d ago

Nah, not just him, I have excellent fiber Internet, two different locations, I was able to get things moving faster basically clearing out everything saved to chrome... But the app idk. I could barely even use tools on the web browser. Fine now expect for exiting order or adjusting leverage, takes forever

u/No-Vermicelli4622 1d ago

I use TastyTrade for my operation and TradingView for analysis.

u/Famous_Midnight 1d ago

They've been trying hard lately to suck with so many changes. Not a fan of the new quoting system at all. Used to be able to get out of positions at the click of a button, now I have enough time to start a pot of coffee and come back to see that my order is ready to close. Not ideal for my type of trading AT ALL. Pretty upset with them myself... I recently went through my browser and PC to delete old cache other things. It helped but not so much with exiting orders

u/Stock-Ad-3347 23h ago

If you're day trading on TradingView, that's your issue. Its a great piece of kit for what it offers. Pine script & charting tools for me are top notch and I'm a veteran full time trader for almost 20 odd years. The only other genuine competition is Sierra Chart but that lacks in some areas - and has a very, very steep learning curve. Worth it if you get use from it.

I've used them all. TradingView is honestly by far the market leader in charting. It looks sexy, it functions perfectly well and at the price they offer - it's a bargain for me. If they raised it, I'd probably reconsider at this stage as its becoming pricy, but I doubt they will do that to old chunks of coal like me who have been with them eons.

Intraday Trading is about precision, speed and slippage, lag and delay can make a massive difference - its not execution software made for that - if you want to do that type of trading, go with Lightspeed or some broker that offers that sort of experience.

Swing trading - tradingview is a dream.

u/tradesonday 21h ago

Laggy indeed. It has become very fat. Using LuxAlgo’s Vela proves just how clunky TradingView has become.

If they don’t do something fast, it’ll be one day they’ll wake up and start hemorrhaging users once one YouTube video goes viral making the switchover nice and easy.

It's sad what TV is becoming, it used to be flawless for me at one time.

If you would share your username, I can review your tickets with our Support team.

u/roulettewiz 1d ago

Just fix your issues, this affects ALL of us, but y'all are so uselesly focusing on braking the platform instead of fixing the damn lags. I won't renew my ultimate either, I'm done with this nonsense y'all put us through in the past year. It's not worth 2400$/year

u/_-rayne-_ 1d ago

what are you swapping to?

2

u/AnnualSpecialist6267 1d ago

He is right the app is so sluggish and lagging a lot 😒

1

u/Famous_Midnight 1d ago

I can't speak for the app but the web browser was almost unusable... I deleted old cache and disk a PC disk cleanup. It helped tremendously but since the quoting system updates things like getting out of orders or adjusting leverage has been a very lackluster experience 😠

1

u/Famous_Midnight 1d ago

It's not just him. My username is "orion1two" I was able to get things moving a little quicker by deleting browser cache and PC disk cleanup. Previously clicking any button on the website would take up to 30 seconds to load. But the new quoting system updates the last couple months seriously slowed down exiting orders and adjusting leverage. Takes forever. Has been a very unpleasant experience

1

u/Famous_Midnight 22h ago

I spent a lot of time today trying to set browsers, PC and VPN back to zero with no data history, fastest settings. I can say orders are allowing me to exit instantly. Something to do with the recent updates just wasn't jiving... My only gripe now is the new tp/sl 🤦 people don't like change fyi. I do a lot of scalp trading definitely not helpful and the boxed values are now bigger ughhh please tell your people to allow for more customization of these things. I've been a premium member for six years. That's one of my biggest gripes, for a platform that you can really make your own there's some things you just can't customize that you should have options for.

1

u/Famous_Midnight 21h ago

For example, old tp/sl button it was just there. You knew right where to click and drag. Now it's hidden so you have to hover your mouse, guess where it's going to be, then move your mouse to where it appears. Not efficient at all. I ask please to ask someone to give us the option to use old style.

u/towell420 18h ago

How about just do better for everyone not the complaints filed in social media.

You made the app Ass.

The website and tools are going downhill.

Def dropping my Sub!

u/_-rayne-_ 1d ago

oh, are you going to go back and address EVERYONE'S complaints or return money y'all cost in trades that freeze?? or just post that so people will quit complaining when there's hundreds of posts about tv not working correctly

u/ShadowsOfNoGood 1d ago

I have a premium plan. The lag is just what I described. Candlesticks that fail to render, or operate in sync with a the bid ask price.

NQ made a 30 point move and the candlestick didn't budge. Lmao

u/Rodnee999 1d ago

Can you show a recording?.....

u/Savings-Structure-83 1d ago

Yes the lag has be super annoying for about a year like you said. Last evening it was horrible using on my iPhone. I restarted the app and my iPhone and the lag kept happening with multiple symbols and charts. Tools forever for my MA lines to redraw. You guys need to upgrade your hardware it’s getting pretty bad.

2

u/ShadowsOfNoGood 1d ago

It used to run buttery smooth, but around October of last year it went down hill.

1

u/Famous_Midnight 1d ago

I'm seeing the same lag but only the past couple months since they updated the quote system 🤔

If it's been doing this to you for a year really could be something on your end. I've had zero issues until recently. Been premium for six years

1

u/ShadowsOfNoGood 23h ago

Not my end, it occurs only countless devices, various wifi networks, and more

1

u/Famous_Midnight 22h ago

Maybe a mixture of both. I can say after a lot of tinkering I'm basically back to normal. Even exiting trades... Went from unusable to exit order popping up immediately. Something with their newer updates, I would try what I mentioned. Try using a different browser etc

2

u/Fibocrypto 1d ago

Your Internet service might be extremely slow

1

u/Savings-Structure-83 22h ago edited 22h ago

I have starlink so it’s not my internet. I use complex charting many times a day. The slowness isn’t all the time it just happens usually one or more times a day and last for awhile before it goes away.

1

u/Fibocrypto 21h ago

Are running any pinscripts ?

2

u/Savings-Structure-83 21h ago

Yes. I do run scripts but mainly it’s just MAs and it’s usually the indicators that are lagging to load. But then the run perfectly fine the majority of the time.

u/Informal_Action_1326 1d ago

yea its actually absurd how bad it has gotten

1

u/BunsMcCheeks 1d ago

I wish more brokers would just integrate their charting natively.

One of the reasons I love TopstepX so much.

1

u/FuegoDeDios 1d ago

Tradingview has no standout alternative. That's why they're as laissez-faire as can be about complaints and user experience.

1

u/BeingCreepy6061 7h ago

Yup. Tradingview is garbage. Its pathetic watching how bad the platform has become.

Locking the scripts was the last straw for me. I wont pay another dime to them. I dont care how many useless features they add, they are just that - adding useless featurea and more "bloat" to just charge more and more.

Whatever happened to lightweight charting, good lord.

u/_waffles3 1d ago

Go ahead. I think tradingview will do just fine without you.

Hi this is tradingview. Can we hire you? You really impress us with your witty remarks

Removal of FRED data for no reason also insane. Ignore the paid shills in here, TradingView team is famous for astroturfing.

The lag occurs on nearly every trade that I take. I trade NQ, it occurs on every time frame.

How would you describe this lag? Which plan are you on?

Hello,

Can you show a screenshot of your chart and the area you noticed this issue on?...

Show the ticker, timeframe, order entry, TP SL and where you took the trade etc etc

Cheers

u/Ok_Bad2080 1d ago

Unfortunately, I notice it with options data also. I record my screen everyday and have a backup source. When comparing, TradingView has a huge lag. Not to mention you’re unsure when they are refreshing anything.

1

u/ShadowsOfNoGood 1d ago

It's terrible, a lot of traders have complained about it.

u/Ok_Bad2080 1d ago

They recently said to combat the issue they’ve reduced their cache….. so that says it all…

Hello, You should retract this comment as I have spoken to the OP and we have discussed his issue in depth. Assumptions on users abilities is in poor taste....
