TradingView India Pricing Problem

TradingView India pricing:

• Premium: ₹3,995/mo (₹47,940/yr)

Honest Recommendation

For 90% of Indian retail traders, TRT is sufficient.

Features of TradingView that 90% traders do not use:
• Custom Pine Script (1% traders code)
• Professional market data (0.1% need CME data)
• Second-based intervals (0.5% scalpers)
• Social publishing (5% publish ideas)
• Desktop app (web works fine)

Features TRT does not have in TradingView:
• Hinglish education (200+ articles)
• Indian market calendar (IPOs, earnings, economic events)
• Community trends (what Indian traders watch)
• ₹2,499/mo Pro price (below TradingView Premium)
• Longer terms cost less per month

Bottom line: Try TRT free first. If features are enough (for 90%), upgrade to Pro for ₹2,499/mo. Try TradingView only when there is some specific feature missing in TRT that you need.
