The Trader's Arsenal: Why You Should Have a TradingView Account

2025-12-17

In the world of trading, information is ammunition, and charts are your scope.

As the ChartMini team dedicated to building professional backtesting tools, we are often asked: "Besides backtesting practice, what software should I use for daily market watching?"

The answer is almost invariably: TradingView.

Whether you are a newcomer just entering the market or an experienced professional trader, if you don't have a TradingView account yet, you might be missing the best opportunity to "see the direction" clearly in this market. Today, I want to talk about why we consider it the most powerful charting tool on the planet.

1. The Ultimate Silky Visual Experience

Many traditional charting software programs still stick to interface styles from the last century—laggy and rough. But TradingView has completely changed that. It is based on HTML5 technology, which means you don't need to download bloated installation packages; just open your browser and you're ready to go.

Its zooming and dragging have absolutely zero latency. When you need to switch quickly between large and small timeframes, or perform complex drawing analysis on the chart, that responsive and smooth feel allows for more composed market judgment.

2. Global Multi-Asset Data Coverage

Whether you focus on US stocks, A-shares, Forex, or the 24/7 fluctuating cryptocurrency market, TradingView covers almost all financial asset data on Earth.

Especially for cryptocurrency traders, the timeliness and accuracy of data are crucial. For example, when you need to keep a close eye on critical support levels for BTCUSD, TradingView provides comprehensive data sources from multiple top-tier exchanges to ensure that the prices you see are real and representative.

3. Powerful Community and Script Ecosystem

TradingView is not merely a charting tool; it is also the world's largest community of traders.

  • Idea Sharing: You can view analyses and drawings from top traders globally regarding current market trends and learn from their logic.
  • Pine Script: This is its "killer feature." You can use the Pine language to write your own indicators and strategies, or simply use thousands of scripts written by community wizards for free.

Recommendation: Sharp Tools Make Good Work

At ChartMini, we are committed to providing you with the best historical backtesting experience; whereas in the field of real-time market analysis, we believe TradingView is the current industry standard.

If you don't have an account yet, we strongly recommend that you register for a TradingView account here (the basic version is completely free and powerful enough).

Familiarizing yourself with professional chart analysis tools early and cultivating a good "market sense" is a compulsory course for every trader. Embrace the best tools, and make trading purer.
