TakeProfit vs TradingView: pricing, alerts, scripting and execution

TakeProfit has one paid plan at $20 a month with 400 non-expiring alerts; TradingView starts at $12.95 a month on annual billing and reaches 400 alerts on Premium at $59.95 a month on annual billing. TradingView wins on indicator library, device coverage and broker choice. TakeProfit wins on alert cost, Python-style scripting and Bybit cashback.

What are TakeProfit and TradingView?

TradingView is a charting and social platform with web, mobile and desktop apps, its own scripting language (Pine Script), screeners, a community of indicator authors and connections to selected brokers. Its pricing page lists a free Basic plan and four paid plans: Essential, Plus, Premium and Ultimate.

TakeProfit (takeprofit.com) is a browser trading terminal with its own WebGL2 charting engine, Python-based Indie scripting, cloud alerts and live execution on Bybit and, for US stocks, Lime Trading. It states that its charting engine is not TradingView embedded. It has a free tier called Freeroll and one paid plan, All-In.

How much do TakeProfit and TradingView cost?

TradingView prices, billed annually and shown in US dollars (sales tax may be added depending on location):

• Basic: free.
• Essential: $12.95 per month ($14.95 billed monthly).
• Plus: $29.95 per month ($34.95 billed monthly).
• Premium: $59.95 per month ($69.95 billed monthly).
• Ultimate: $199.95 per month ($239.95 billed monthly).

TradingView's annual billing saves $60 a year on Plus, $120 on Premium and $480 on Ultimate. Its trial length varies by plan, region and platform, and the trial converts automatically to a paid plan unless you cancel.

TakeProfit prices:

• Freeroll: free, with no expiry date.
• All-In: $20 per month, or $120 per year ($10 per month on annual billing).
• The Terms say the fee depends on promotions, your location and payment method, so your checkout price can differ. The prices on the homepage are the same in US dollars when opened from ten countries.

TradingView's entry plan is cheaper. The plans are not like for like, though: Essential allows 2 charts per tab, 5 indicators per chart and 20 alerts, while All-In has unlimited indicators, charts and widgets and 400 alerts.

What do the free plans include?

TradingView Basic: 1 chart per tab, 2 indicators per chart, 3 active price alerts, 5,000 historical bars and 1 saved layout. Pine Script works on every plan, including Basic.

TakeProfit Freeroll: unlimited charts and widgets, 2 indicators per chart, 2 workspaces, 5,000 bars per chart and 1 alert valid for 3 months. All-In removes the indicator and workspace caps, raises bars to 20,000 and allows 400 non-expiring alerts.

How do alert limits compare?

TradingView alert limits grow with the plan:

• Active price alerts: Basic 3, Essential 20, Plus 100, Premium 400, Ultimate 1,000.
• Technical alerts on indicators, strategies and drawings: Essential 20, Plus 100, Premium 400, Ultimate 1,000.
• Alert duration: Basic 1 month, Essential and Plus 2 months, Premium and Ultimate no expiry.
• Webhook notifications start on Essential; multi-condition alerts start on Plus; second-based alerts start on Premium.

TakeProfit alerts:

• 400 non-expiring cloud alerts on All-In, running around the clock; 1 alert valid for 3 months on Freeroll.
• Delivery to Telegram, webhooks (Discord, Slack, Zapier, IFTTT), email or in-platform pop-ups.
• 13 trigger criteria on price and indicator values; frequency modes once, once per closed bar or every trigger.
• Delivery speed: TakeProfit's FAQ measures the alert pipeline at typically around 300 ms and up to about 1 second in the worst case, and says this is a measurement, not a guaranteed delivery time.

For the same alert count, TakeProfit's published price is about a third of TradingView's: 400 alerts cost $20 a month on All-In and $59.95 a month on Premium, both billed annually ($69.95 a month on Premium billed monthly). TradingView's higher plans add 1,000 alerts, watchlist alerts and second-based alerts, which TakeProfit does not list.

Pine Script vs Indie: which scripting language should you use?

Pine Script is TradingView's language. It runs on TradingView's servers and has published limits: script calculation time of 20 seconds on Basic, 40 seconds on Essential, Plus and Premium and 100 seconds on Ultimate, and 500 milliseconds for a loop on a single bar. Pine Screener, which scans assets with your own Pine script, is available on Premium and Ultimate.

Indie is TakeProfit's language, a dialect of Python with decorators such as @indicator and @param. Indie scripts run on the server and keep running when the platform is closed. All 80+ built-in TakeProfit indicators are written in it.

The same moving-average crossover in both languages. Pine Script:

//@version=6indicator("SMA crossover", overlay = true)fast = ta.sma(close, 10)slow = ta.sma(close, 30)plot(fast, "Fast SMA", color.teal)plot(slow, "Slow SMA", color.orange)

Indie:

# indie:lang_version = 5
from indie import indicator, param, plot, color
from indie.algorithms import Sma

@indicator('SMA crossover', overlay_main_pane=True)
@param.int('fast_length', default=10, min=1)
@param.int('slow_length', default=30, min=1)
@plot.line(color=color.TEAL, title='Fast SMA')
@plot.line(color=color.ORANGE, title='Slow SMA')
def Main(self, fast_length, slow_length):
    fast = Sma.new(self.close, fast_length)
    slow = Sma.new(self.close, slow_length)
    return fast[0], slow[0]

We compiled and ran the Indie version in TakeProfit's script validator. We did not run the Pine example inside TradingView for this update.

Practical differences:

• Ecosystem. TradingView lists 100K+ community indicators; TakeProfit lists 80+ native indicators and a moderated Marketplace.
• Moving a script. There is no automatic Pine importer. TakeProfit says Pine logic can be translated to Indie through its MCP server and AI tools, and complex features may need a manual pass.
• AI help. TakeProfit's AI assistant and MCP server write and validate Indie code; writing Indie with the assistant needs a paid plan or your own API key.
• Orders. Indie scripts currently produce chart analysis and alerts; live orders go out through webhook alerts to external brokers or bots.

How do backtesting and replay compare?

TradingView lists basic report metrics on every plan, advanced metrics and CSV or XLSX export from Essential, and Deep Backtesting on Premium and Ultimate. Deep Backtesting runs on all stored data, capped at 2 million bars per calculation. Bar Replay is available on all plans.

TakeProfit has a built-in strategy tester that runs on up to 20,000 candles. We found no bar-replay or paper-trading feature on the pages we checked.

We did not run the same strategy on both platforms, so we make no claim about whose results are closer to live trading.

How do the charts compare?

TradingView lists 110+ drawing tools and 400+ built-in indicators. Custom time intervals start on Essential, second-based intervals on Premium and tick-based intervals on Ultimate. TPO, volume footprint and volume candles are checked only for Premium and Ultimate.

TakeProfit offers Candles, Line and Bars, plus TPO (Market Profile) and Footprint chart types, custom intervals such as 25 seconds or 12 minutes, tick charts, 80+ native indicators and 40+ hotkeys. It states 60 fps under high data load; this is a vendor claim we did not measure.

Which devices does each platform support?

TradingView runs on the web, as iOS and Android apps, and as a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. The mobile apps sync with the web version and add native push alerts and widgets.

TakeProfit runs in the browser with no installation. Its docs say mobile use is through a mobile browser and there is no separate app, although its Terms of Use mention mobile applications; we use the docs here.

Which markets and brokers are covered?

TradingView covers stocks, forex, indices and 70 crypto exchanges, with stock, ETF, crypto, DEX, forex and Pine screeners (150+ exchanges, 500+ fields). It lists trading through selected brokers, simulated trading, chart trading and DOM trading on all plans.

TakeProfit states 5,000+ instruments and market data from 70+ crypto exchanges (a vendor claim), US equities and ETFs from NYSE, Nasdaq and CBOE, and CFD data including forex pairs. Only some exchanges, such as Binance and Bybit, are direct feeds; the rest comes through a third-party aggregator. Its stock screener covers about 5,000 US stocks.

TakeProfit execution:

• Bybit spot and derivatives through a direct API; bybit.eu accounts cannot be connected.
• US stocks and ETFs through Lime Trading.
• Binance and Exness support are marked as in development.
• Order types are Market and Limit, with an optional trigger price. Exchange keys carry no withdrawal permission.
• Other venues can be reached by routing JSON webhooks.

TakeProfit cashback on Bybit:

• 50% of trading fees (10% if your account is already affiliated elsewhere), paid in USDC on request once the balance passes $200.
• Only orders placed in the TakeProfit terminal count; Bybit PRO 4, 5 and 6 accounts earn nothing.
• TakeProfit does not guarantee that the program continues.

Who operates each platform?

TradingView is operated by TradingView, Inc., and its Terms are under New York law. TakeProfit's Terms of Use name Takeprofit Systems Ltd, a BVI business company, while the homepage footer shows "TakeProfit Inc". Read the Terms before you connect an exchange account.

Where is TradingView the better choice?

• Library. 400+ built-in and 100K+ community indicators against 80+ native ones.
• Devices. Native iOS, Android and desktop apps.
• Brokers. Selected brokers across stocks, crypto, forex, futures and CFDs, plus paper trading on every plan.
• Backtest depth. Deep Backtesting up to 2 million bars on Premium and Ultimate.
• Price at the bottom. Essential at $12.95 a month is cheaper than All-In.

Where is TakeProfit the better choice?

• Alert cost. 400 non-expiring alerts at $20 a month.
• One plan. Unlimited indicators, charts and widgets with no tiers to choose between.
• Python-style scripting. Indie reads familiar if you write Python.
• Order-flow chart types. TPO and Footprint chart types are part of the single paid plan, while TradingView lists them only on Premium and Ultimate.
• Bybit. A direct connection with cashback on fees.

Which one should you choose?

1. Stay on TradingView if you rely on community indicators, mobile apps or a broker connection it already supports.
2. Choose TakeProfit if you need hundreds of long-running alerts and do not want to pay for the Premium tier.
3. If you write scripts in Python, try Indie on the free plan before you decide; converting a large Pine script is a manual job.
4. If you trade on Bybit, compare cashback with your current fee rate.
5. If you need replay or paper trading, TradingView lists both and TakeProfit does not.
6. You can also use both: keep TradingView for research and use TakeProfit for alerts and Bybit execution.
