Comparison
TradersWeek vs TradingView
TradersWeek is a browser terminal built around crypto order flow. On Premium at $120 per month it renders 28 order-flow layers from Binance spot trade data: footprint clusters, cumulative delta, imbalance, absorption, exhaustion, iceberg and sweep detection, volume profile, TPO and a DOM panel that reads the exchange book without a broker account. Automatic Elliott Wave labeling is in the free core. Forex, metals and indices work through a MetaTrader bridge, where order flow is derived from a bid and ask stream instead of real trades. US stocks and ETFs chart as Binance perpetual contracts that trade around the clock, not as listed shares with an exchange feed, and order flow is off on them. Native mobile apps and broker execution are absent entirely. TradingView charts the listed shares themselves, ships Volume Footprint charts and DOM through supported brokers, and runs on native apps.

Which one fits
Choose TradingView if
You trade listed shares, futures or other markets beyond crypto and major FX pairs. You chart on a phone and want a native app. You place orders through a broker from the chart. You depend on Pine Script and its published library. source You want one platform for every market you watch, and you accept buying professional exchange feeds separately. source
Choose TradersWeek if
Your work is order flow on Binance and you want footprint, delta and the detectors without a desktop install or a separate data bill. You want Elliott counts labeled automatically, scored against the rules, and still editable by hand. You want Smart Money, Wyckoff, Ichimoku and Gann in one subscription rather than assembled from separate scripts.
What order flow actually covers
This is the part most comparisons leave vague, so here it is in full. On crypto, TradersWeek reads executed trades from Binance spot over a WebSocket stream and builds every cluster from them. On forex, metals and indices the MetaTrader bridge delivers a bid and ask stream rather than trades, and the module derives synthetic trades from mid-price movement. Those charts look the same and are not the same evidence: a synthetic print says the price moved, not that someone lifted an offer.
- The 28 layers
- Eleven for footprint and clustering, including the footprint grid, volume heatmap, big trades, power trades, rolling footprint, magnifier and speed of tape. Six for delta: cumulative delta, per-bar delta, delta percent, divergence, institutional CVD and CVD correlation. Seven detectors: stacked, diagonal and horizontal imbalance, absorption, exhaustion, iceberg and sweep. Three profiles: volume profile, TPO and zigzag profile. Plus a confluence layer that scores the others.
- Depth of market
- A DOM panel shows live bid and ask levels with pulling and stacking detection, and takes limit orders by click. On crypto it reads the Binance order book directly, with no broker account in between. On forex the depth is synthesised from bridge ticks, so treat it as an indication of shape, not a real book.
- History depth
- The trade tape is loaded for the visible window, not indefinitely: about 7 days on weekly charts, 48 hours on daily, 30 hours from the hourly chart up and 15 hours below it. Deep historical order-flow research is not what this tool is for.
- Data cost
- Nothing beyond the subscription. Binance public trade data carries no exchange fee, which is why order flow here is one price rather than a licence plus a feed.
- TradingView
- Volume Footprint charts, with availability depending on the plan. source DOM requires a connected broker that supports Level 2 data. source

What each plan costs
TradingView prices below are the effective monthly cost on annual billing, in the currency its pricing page returned on the verification date. Taxes and promotions change the total. TradersWeek prices are billed monthly in US dollars.
| Plan | Price | What it adds |
|---|---|---|
| TradersWeek Free | $0 | Full charting, 123 indicators (2 on a chart at once), automatic Elliott Wave labeling, paper trading |
| TradersWeek Pro | $30 per month | 10 indicators on a chart, strategy presets, the signal scanner, multi-pane layouts |

Data costs sit outside both subscriptions. TradingView sells most professional real-time feeds separately. source TradersWeek charges nothing extra because Binance public trade data is free, and because the exchange feeds that usually cost money are not covered at all.
Moving a Pine script across
Script Converter accepts Pine Script, MQL4, MQL5, EasyLanguage, AFL, MetaStock and compiles the result into an indicator that runs on a TradersWeek chart. It translates the calculation, not the ecosystem around it: alerts wired to broker orders, imported libraries and anything depending on TradingView-specific runtime behaviour will not survive the trip. Convert, run both versions on the same symbol, and compare the output before you rely on it.
Drawings, layouts and watchlists do not transfer. There is no import path for them.
Questions people actually ask
Is TradersWeek an alternative to TradingView for footprint charts and CVD?
For crypto, yes. TradersWeek renders 28 order-flow layers from Binance spot trade data: footprint clusters, cumulative delta, imbalance, absorption, exhaustion, iceberg and sweep detection, volume profile, TPO and a DOM panel. They are part of the Premium plan at $120 per month. For exchange-traded futures and stocks it is not an alternative: there is no CME feed here, and US stocks chart as Binance perpetual contracts with order flow switched off. On forex the order flow is derived from a bid and ask stream rather than real trades.
Which markets support TradersWeek order flow?
Crypto order flow runs on Binance spot and is built from real executed trades. Forex, metals and indices work too, but the MetaTrader bridge sends a bid and ask stream rather than trades, so the module derives synthetic trades from mid-price movement. The charts look identical and the evidence behind them is weaker. US stocks and ETFs chart as Binance perpetual contracts, but order flow is off on them, and exchange-traded futures are not in the product.
Do I need paid exchange data for TradersWeek footprint charts?
No. Order flow on crypto is computed from Binance public trade data, which carries no exchange fee. That is the practical difference from desktop order-flow platforms, where a CME, Rithmic or dxFeed subscription is billed on top of the licence.
Does TradersWeek have a DOM?
Yes. The DOM panel shows live bid and ask levels with pulling and stacking detection, and places limit orders by click. On crypto it reads the Binance order book directly, without a broker account. On forex the depth is synthesised from bridge ticks, so it indicates shape rather than a real book. The heatmap drawn on the chart itself is a different thing: it colours executed volume inside footprint cells, not resting liquidity.
Is TradersWeek free?
The core is free with no card and no registration: 123 indicators, 82 drawing tools, 2 indicators on a chart at once, and automatic Elliott Wave labeling. Order flow and the methodology modules are Premium at $120 per month.
Can I import my Pine scripts?
Partly. Script Converter reads Pine Script, MQL4, MQL5, EasyLanguage, AFL, MetaStock and compiles the calculation into an indicator that runs on a TradersWeek chart. It does not carry over alerts wired to broker orders, imported libraries, or anything that depends on TradingView-specific runtime behaviour. Run the converted script beside the original on the same symbol and compare the output before relying on it.
Can I place trades from TradersWeek?
Into a paper account, or to an exchange through an API key you connect yourself. TradersWeek is not a broker, holds no client funds, and has no brokerage integration of the kind TradingView offers.
Can I use TradersWeek on mobile, and is there a native app?
It runs in a mobile browser and installs as a PWA. There are no native iOS or Android apps, which is a real gap against TradingView if the phone is where you chart.
The free core opens without an account, so most of this is checkable in a minute.
