TradingView Free Trial 2026: How to Get 30 Days Free

TradingView offers free trials on every paid plan, but the length depends on which tier you pick. New users get 30 days of full access to Essential, Plus, or Premium, while the higher-end Ultimate plan comes with a 14-day window. Below is exactly how the trials work, what to test before you decide, and how to cancel cleanly if you don’t want to be billed.

Key Takeaways

• New TradingView accounts qualify for a 30-day free trial on Essential, Plus, or Premium. Ultimate’s free trial is 14 days.
• A credit card or PayPal is required at signup, and the plan auto-renews unless you cancel before the trial ends.
• Trials are limited to one per account. If you’ve already used one, you’ll need a new account with a different email to qualify again.

Does TradingView Have a Free Trial?

Yes. TradingView offers a free trial on every paid plan. Essential, Plus, and Premium each come with 30 days of full access to the features in that tier. Ultimate offers 14 days. Existing accounts and accounts that have already redeemed a trial don’t qualify for another, which is why the trial button disappears for logged-in users who have used one before.

Trial Length by Plan

All four paid plans qualify for a free trial, but Ultimate’s window is shorter. For a full breakdown of what each tier costs once the trial converts, see our TradingView pricing guide.

Plan	Free Trial	Best Suited For
Essential	30 days	New traders who want more than the free plan offers
Plus	30 days	Active retail traders running multiple charts
Premium	30 days	Full-time traders who need depth and customization
Ultimate	14 days	Professionals running pro-grade workflows

What Each Plan Includes

Every paid plan unlocks real-time data, unlimited indicators on a single chart, and the full drawing toolkit. The differences come down to how many charts, alerts, and parallel chart connections you can run at once. Here’s how the current lineup breaks down based on the TradingView pricing page:

• Essential ($12.95/mo annual): 2 charts per tab, 5 indicators per chart, 10K historical bars, 20 price alerts, 20 technical alerts. Suits part-time retail traders stepping up from the free plan.
• Plus ($29.95/mo annual): 4 charts per tab, 10 indicators, 10K bars, 100 price and 100 technical alerts. The common choice for active retail traders.
• Premium ($59.95/mo annual): 8 charts per tab, 25 indicators, 20K bars, 400 price and 400 technical alerts, 2 watchlist alerts, priority support. Built for full-time traders who need depth.
• Ultimate ($199.95/mo annual): 16 charts per tab, 50 indicators, 40K bars, 200 parallel chart connections, 1,000 price and 1,000 technical alerts, 15 watchlist alerts. Aimed at pro workflows and heavy multi-monitor setups.

How to Get a TradingView Free Trial

Trials aren’t accessible from existing accounts or for users currently logged in. If you already have a TradingView account that has used a trial, you’ll need to register a new account with a different email to qualify. TradingView enforces a strict policy around running multiple accounts, so don’t stack accounts to game the system.

Step-by-step signup

1. If you have an existing TradingView account, sign out first. Trials only appear for new users and logged-out sessions.

2. Go to the TradingView plans page and click “Try free for 30 days” on the plan you want to test. Pick the tier you are likely to actually use, not the highest one by default.

3. Sign up with a new email address. Existing accounts cannot trial, even on a different plan.

4. Add a credit card or PayPal. A small authorization hold may appear. Note the auto-renewal date so you can cancel before billing.

5. Click “Start 30-day free trial” and you will be routed into the TradingView chart with the upgraded features unlocked. Set a calendar reminder for two days before the trial ends so you don’t get auto-billed if you decide to cancel.

How to Get $15 Off Your First TradingView Plan

TradingView runs a referral credit program. New users who sign up through a referral link and purchase their first paid plan receive $15 in account credit once the first billing cycle completes. The credit stacks with both the free trial and the annual billing discount, so you can take the 30-day trial and save $15 on the first annual invoice.

Start the trial through this TradingView referral link to activate the $15 credit. It applies on any tier, Essential through Ultimate, and posts to your account after the trial converts to a paid subscription. If you cancel during the trial and never convert, there’s nothing to credit, so the referral only matters if you decide to keep the plan.

What to Test During Your Free Trial

Thirty days is enough to validate whether the upgrade earns its price. Focus on the features that actually move the needle for your trading instead of clicking around aimlessly:

• Multi-chart layouts if you watch correlated tickers. Plus and above let you run more charts per tab.
• Real-time data for the exchanges you trade. The free plan delays most US stock data by 15 minutes.
• Server-side alerts that fire even when your browser is closed. Premium and Ultimate raise the alert cap.
• Custom indicators from the public library. Pull in our list of the best TradingView indicators and see which fit your strategy.
• Paper trading against the simulator before risking capital. See how the TradingView paper trading account works.
• Bar replay and custom timeframes for visual backtesting, fully unlocked on Premium and Ultimate.

Is the TradingView Free Trial Worth It?

For most traders, yes. The downside is zero: 30 days of full-featured access (14 on Ultimate), and if the plan doesn’t fit your workflow you cancel before the renewal date and nothing is charged. Even if you already know you want to upgrade, the trial gives you time to decide between Plus, Premium, or Ultimate without guessing from the feature matrix.

The one scenario where the trial is not worth it is if you already know TradingView’s free plan covers your workflow. In that case, skip the trial so there’s no chance of forgetting to cancel. Otherwise, activate it, put a calendar reminder on day 28 (or day 12 for Ultimate), and let the 30 days do the work.

How to Cancel Your TradingView Free Trial

Cancellation is simple if you do it before the trial converts:

1. In TradingView, click your profile avatar and open Settings and billing, then choose Subscriptions.
2. Click Cancel trial next to your active plan.
3. Confirm. You keep access to the upgraded features until the trial period ends, then your account reverts to the free tier.

If you started your trial inside the TradingView mobile app through the App Store or Google Play, you cannot cancel from the website. Manage the subscription in your device’s store settings instead: iOS users in the Apple ID subscriptions panel, Android users in the Google Play subscriptions panel.

Set a reminder for day 28 (or day 12 for Ultimate) so the cancel decision is on your calendar before TradingView charges your card. If you decide to keep the plan, switching to annual billing usually unlocks meaningful discounts versus paying month to month.

Account Rules to Know Before You Start

Trials are one per account, enforced by email and IP. Stacking multiple accounts to extend trials violates TradingView’s terms and can flag every account tied back to you. If you’re not sure TradingView is the right fit before paying, compare it against the field of TradingView alternatives first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TradingView offer a free trial?

Yes. New users can start a free trial on any paid plan. Essential, Plus, and Premium come with 30 days. Ultimate offers 14 days.

How long is the TradingView free trial?

The standard trial is 30 days for Essential, Plus, and Premium. The Ultimate plan trial is shorter at 14 days.

Do I need a credit card to start the free trial?

Yes. TradingView requires a valid credit card or PayPal at signup. You won’t be charged if you cancel before the trial ends.

Can I access all features during the free trial?

Yes. The trial unlocks every feature included in the plan you select for the full trial period.

How do I cancel the TradingView free trial?

Open Settings and billing from your TradingView profile menu, click Subscriptions, and select Cancel trial next to your active plan. If you started the trial through the App Store or Google Play, cancel it from your device’s store subscription settings instead.

Can I switch plans during the free trial?

Yes, with one caveat. You can upgrade or downgrade freely between Essential, Plus, and Premium. Upgrading to Ultimate caps your remaining trial at 14 days, and you cannot downgrade from an Ultimate trial to a lower plan until the trial ends.

Can I get the free trial more than once?

No. TradingView limits free trials to one per account. Cancelling a trial also flags that account as ineligible for another, so you would need to register a new account on a different email to qualify. Running multiple accounts violates TradingView’s terms and can flag every account tied back to you.

Is the TradingView free trial available worldwide?

Yes. The trial is available globally as long as you can complete the signup with a supported payment method.
