How to cancel TradingView

But even with all its advantages, there comes a point for many users when the premium subscription may no longer feel necessary. This could be because of changes in trading strategy, the emergence of alternative platforms, or simply due to budget constraints. That’s when users start asking an important question: how to cancel TradingView subscription.

TradingView offers several subscription tiers—Free, Pro, Pro+, and Premium. Each higher tier unlocks more powerful tools, such as multiple chart layouts, real-time alerts, additional indicators, and more. However, the cost of maintaining these plans can add up, especially if you're not actively using the features you’re paying for.

Some users may have subscribed impulsively during a discounted promo, or activated a free trial and forgotten to cancel before the billing kicked in. Others might have moved to another platform such as MetaTrader, ThinkorSwim, or TrendSpider that better aligns with their evolving needs. And then there are those who initially upgraded to Pro+ or Premium, only to find that the added features didn’t justify the price.

Regardless of your reason, it’s important to know how to navigate the cancellation process correctly—especially because TradingView has multiple billing pathways (direct, Google Play, Apple App Store), and each comes with different steps. Without proper knowledge, it’s easy to miss a cancellation deadline and be charged for another cycle.

In this comprehensive guide, you’ll learn how to cancel TradingView subscription the right way. We’ll walk you through:

• Understanding your current subscription and billing type
  
  
• Cancelling your plan from desktop, Android, or iOS
  
  
• Dealing with auto-renewals and third-party payment processors
  
  
• Requesting a refund if you were charged unintentionally
  
  
• What happens to your account and charts post-cancellation
  
  
• Alternatives to consider instead of cancellation
  
  
• Frequently asked questions and troubleshooting tips
  
  

Whether you’re a swing trader who no longer needs 24/7 access to real-time data, or a casual investor looking to cut down on unnecessary monthly expenses, this guide will equip you with everything you need to cancel your TradingView subscription safely and confidently.

By the end of this article, you won’t just understand how to cancel TradingView subscription, you’ll also be better positioned to decide whether cancellation is the right step—or whether a downgrade, trial extension, or alternative platform might better serve your needs.

Let’s begin by understanding what you’re paying for in the first place—the different subscription tiers that TradingView offers, and how they compare.

2. Understanding TradingView Subscription Tiers

To truly understand how to cancel TradingView subscription, you must first be clear about what exactly you’ve subscribed to. TradingView offers four main types of plans—Free, Pro, Pro+, and Premium—each tailored to a different level of user need. The cost, features, and billing options differ significantly across tiers, which also means the cancellation process may vary depending on how you initially subscribed.

Below is a detailed breakdown of each plan, what it offers, and how the billing is structured.

A. Free Plan

This is TradingView’s default offering and is surprisingly robust for a free platform.

Key Features:

• 1 chart per layout
  
  
• 3 indicators per chart
  
  
• 1 saved chart layout
  
  
• Basic watchlists
  
  
• Delayed data for certain markets
  
  
• Ads on the interface
  
  

This plan is suitable for beginners or casual users who aren’t actively placing trades or don’t require complex setups.

B. Pro Plan

Ideal For: Intermediate users, swing traders, and part-time analysts.

Price: Approx. $14.95/month (varies by geography and discounts)

Key Features:

• 2 charts per layout
  
  
• 5 indicators per chart
  
  
• 10 saved chart layouts
  
  
• 20 alerts
  
  
• No ads
  
  
• Extended trading hours
  
  
• Faster data flow
  
  

Users who find the free plan too limiting often upgrade to Pro for the multi-chart layout and the ability to monitor more technical indicators at once.

C. Pro+ Plan

Ideal For: More serious traders needing multiple data streams and indicators.

Price: Around $29.95/month

Key Features:

• 4 charts per layout
  
  
• 10 indicators per chart
  
  
• Up to 100 alerts
  
  
• Intraday spread charts
  
  
• Export chart data
  
  
• Invite-only indicators access
  
  

Pro+ is great for those who manage multiple assets, track multiple timeframes, or use backtesting and custom script alerts extensively.

D. Premium Plan

Ideal For: Professional or full-time traders who need the full suite of tools.

Price: ~$59.95/month

Key Features:

• 8 charts per layout
  
  
• 25 indicators per chart
  
  
• Unlimited alerts (including webhooks)
  
  
• Second-based intervals (1 sec charts)
  
  
• Priority customer support
  
  
• Real-time server-side alerts
  
  

This plan is for heavy-duty traders, algorithmic strategy testers, and those managing clients or live trading operations.

E. Billing Structure

Regardless of the plan you choose, TradingView offers monthly and annual billing. Annual plans come with discounts of up to 16–20%. But this also means you're committing long-term, and if you forget to cancel, you could be charged for another 12 months without warning.

Important Billing Notes:

• Auto-renew is enabled by default.
  
  
• No reminder emails before renewal.
  
  
• You can subscribe via:
  
  
  
  • TradingView.com directly
    
    
  • Google Play Store (Android)
    
    
  • Apple App Store (iOS/macOS)
    
    
• The cancellation method depends on the platform through which you subscribed.
  
  

Knowing your plan type and how it was purchased is essential to deciding the best cancellation route. For instance, cancelling a plan bought via the Google Play Store requires going through your Android device—not the TradingView website.

3. Common Reasons to Cancel a TradingView Subscription

Despite TradingView's popularity, thousands of users choose to cancel their subscriptions every month. Understanding the reasons why helps you identify whether you're in a similar situation and if cancellation is indeed the best decision for you.

This section outlines the most common motivations behind users searching for how to cancel TradingView subscription, with context from trading behavior, feature utility, and cost concerns.

A. Financial Cost vs Actual Usage

One of the top reasons users cancel is the disconnect between what they pay and what they actually use. TradingView's premium plans—especially Pro+ and Premium—can cost between $30 to $60 per month. While this may be a worthwhile investment for full-time traders, it becomes excessive for casual users or those in low-frequency markets like swing trading or long-term investing.

Many users initially upgrade during a free trial or discounted promotion, only to later find that they don't fully use the advanced features. If you only use basic charting tools, a few indicators, and one layout, you might not need to pay monthly for features you don’t use. The moment this realization hits, people begin exploring how to cancel TradingView subscription.

B. Changing Trading Strategies

Your approach to the market may evolve over time. For example:

• Day traders might transition to swing trading.
  
  
• Crypto-only traders may move to long-term equity investing.
  
  
• Some may stop trading altogether due to career changes, loss of capital, or lifestyle shifts.
  
  

As your strategy changes, your tool requirements change too. If you're no longer using multiple indicators, real-time alerts, or second-based intervals, keeping a Premium or Pro+ plan may feel excessive.

C. Moving to Alternative Platforms

While TradingView is versatile, it's not the only player in the game. Platforms like MetaTrader (MT4/MT5), ThinkorSwim, TrendSpider, NinjaTrader, and Webull offer similar or more specialized functionalities.

Many brokers also provide in-house tools with free real-time charts, trade execution, alerts, and integrated research. For users actively trading through platforms like Zerodha, Upstox, or TD Ameritrade, there's often no strong need to continue paying for TradingView.

Some crypto traders also shift to exchange-native charting tools on Binance, Bybit, or CoinDCX, all of which have improved over time.

D. Trial Expiration or Accidental Auto-Renewal

This is a frequent complaint. Many users start with TradingView's 30-day free trial and forget to cancel it before the first billing cycle begins. Since auto-renewal is enabled by default, they find a surprise charge on their bank or card statement.

The result? A Google search for how to cancel TradingView subscription and, in many cases, a refund request (which we'll address later).

E. Lack of Customer Support or Frustration With Billing

Some users cancel out of frustration:

• They couldn’t find a clear cancel button.
  
  
• Subscription was charged even after auto-renew was turned off.
  
  
• Response time from TradingView support was slow or unhelpful.
  
  

These customer experience issues, especially around billing, drive cancellations not because the product is lacking—but because the support or transparency isn't meeting expectations.

F. Too Many Features You Don’t Need

TradingView Premium is packed with power-user tools—25 indicators per chart, unlimited alerts, multi-timeframe sync, and more. But not everyone uses them. If you find yourself relying only on simple price-action and moving averages, then even the Pro plan may feel bloated.

For users in this category, cancelling or downgrading is simply about decluttering their toolset—and saving money in the process.

All these factors contribute to why users end up cancelling. If you’re experiencing any of the above, don’t worry—you’re not alone. But before you move forward, it’s critical to understand what happens when you cancel and how to prepare. That’s exactly what the next section covers.

4. Before You Cancel: Key Things to Know

Before you initiate the process of how to cancel TradingView subscription, it’s important to understand the implications of cancellation, the fine print in the platform's terms, and how to avoid making costly mistakes.

A. Cancelling vs Disabling Auto-Renewal: Not Always the Same

This is where many users get confused. Disabling auto-renewal ensures you won’t be charged in the next billing cycle, but your subscription remains active until the current cycle ends. Cancelling outright may refer to doing the same or requesting early termination (though the latter is rare and not guaranteed).

The terminology changes slightly depending on how you subscribed:

• If you paid through TradingView.com, you can turn off auto-renewal from your account dashboard.
  
  
• If you used Google Play or Apple, you must cancel through those platforms.
  
  
• Cancelling in one place won’t affect the other if your subscription was handled externally.
  
  

Understanding the difference is crucial to avoiding unwanted charges.

B. TradingView's Refund Policy

TradingView does not guarantee refunds unless there's been a technical error or the user was charged after clearly cancelling auto-renewal before the due date.

Key points:

• Refunds are handled case-by-case.
  
  
• You must submit a support ticket within a reasonable window—usually 14 days.
  
  
• Refunds are unlikely if you're midway through an annual plan unless exceptional circumstances apply.
  
  

Tip: Take screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and email receipts. This serves as proof if you need to dispute a charge.

C. What Happens to Your Saved Charts, Layouts, and Alerts?

One of the biggest concerns is whether cancelling your subscription leads to data loss.

• Your account remains active, even after subscription ends.
  
  
• Saved chart layouts will remain, but if you're on a free plan, only 1 layout is accessible.
  
  
• Alerts beyond the free limit will be disabled (not deleted).
  
  
• Indicators per chart drop from 5/10/25 to just 3 on the free plan.
  
  
• Server-side alerts and backtesting features become inaccessible.
  
  

The good news? You won’t lose your data. You’ll just be restricted in how much you can use or modify it.

D. Annual Plans Are Riskier to Cancel Late

If you’ve subscribed to an annual plan, be very careful near the renewal date. TradingView will bill you for the next 12 months without a reminder. You’ll likely not get a refund if more than a few days have passed since the charge.

Set a reminder 7 days before your renewal cycle ends and disable auto-renewal in advance.

E. Check Which Platform You Subscribed Through

Your cancellation method depends entirely on whether you paid:

• Directly on TradingView.com
  
  
• Via the Google Play Store
  
  
• Through the Apple App Store
  
  

Cancelling through the wrong platform will not stop your subscription. We’ll explore platform-specific cancellation steps in the next sections.

5. Step-by-Step: How to Cancel TradingView Subscription on Desktop

For users who subscribed directly through the TradingView website using a debit/credit card or PayPal, the cancellation process is relatively straightforward. However, you must ensure that you disable auto-renewal before the next billing cycle, or you risk being charged again—especially since TradingView does not send reminder emails.

This section walks you through how to cancel TradingView subscription on desktop, using the native website settings.

A. Login to Your TradingView Account

1. Go to www.tradingview.com
   
   
2. Click on the Sign In button at the top-right corner.
   
   
3. Log in using your credentials (email, social login, or broker-linked login).
   
   
4. Once logged in, click your profile avatar in the top-right corner.
   
   

B. Access Account Settings

1. From the drop-down menu, click on ‘Account & Billing’ or ‘Profile Settings’.
   
   
2. You'll be redirected to a dashboard showing your:
   
   
   
   • Active subscription plan (Free, Pro, Pro+, or Premium)
     
     
   • Billing history
     
     
   • Payment method
     
     
   • Subscription renewal date
     
     

C. Locate the Auto-Renewal Toggle

1. Under your current plan, you will see an Auto-Renewal toggle or button.
   
   
2. If the plan is set to auto-renew, this will be marked as enabled or active.
   
   
3. Click ‘Disable Auto-Renewal’ or ‘Cancel Plan’.
   
   

D. Confirm Cancellation

1. TradingView will prompt you with a confirmation message, possibly offering a discount to retain you.
   
   
2. If you’re certain, confirm the cancellation.
   
   
3. You may be asked for a reason—this is optional.
   
   
4. Once confirmed, a message should appear stating that your subscription will expire at the end of your current billing period.
   
   

E. Check Email for Confirmation

1. TradingView will send an email confirming your cancellation.
   
   
2. Save this email as proof in case you face a billing dispute later.
   
   

F. Key Things to Remember:

• Your premium features will remain active until the end of the current cycle. Cancelling simply ensures you’re not billed again.
  
  
• If you don’t see the option to cancel, double-check that your subscription was purchased via TradingView.com. If you see a redirect or message saying your subscription is handled via Google or Apple, follow the platform-specific steps covered in upcoming sections.
  
  
• Always cancel at least 48 hours before renewal to be safe.
  
  

For users wondering how to cancel TradingView subscription, doing it directly on the desktop is the most transparent method—but only if the original payment was handled by TradingView. If you subscribed via your mobile device, continue reading for mobile-specific instructions.

6. Step-by-Step: How to Cancel TradingView Subscription on Mobile

If you subscribed to TradingView using your Android or iOS device, then the cancellation process does not happen through TradingView itself. Instead, you must cancel the subscription through the platform you used—Google Play Store (for Android) or Apple App Store (for iPhone/iPad).

This section outlines how to cancel TradingView subscription on mobile, based on your operating system and billing method.

A. For Android Users – Google Play Store

If your subscription was initiated on Android via the Google Play Store:

1. Open the Google Play Store App

• Tap on your Google account profile icon in the top-right.
  
  

2. Navigate to Subscriptions

• Tap ‘Payments & Subscriptions’.
  
  
• Then select ‘Subscriptions’.
  
  

3. Locate TradingView

• Scroll down until you see TradingView.
  
  
• Tap it to view details.
  
  

4. Tap on ‘Cancel Subscription’

• You will be prompted to select a cancellation reason.
  
  
• Choose any option and proceed.
  
  

5. Confirm the Cancellation

• Once completed, the app will show your new status as “Cancelled.”
  
  
• You’ll retain access to your premium plan until the end of the billing cycle.
  
  

B. For iOS Users – Apple App Store

If you signed up through an iPhone or iPad, here’s how to cancel:

1. Go to Settings on your iPhone

• Tap your Apple ID profile at the top.
  
  

2. Select ‘Subscriptions’

• This will show a list of all active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
  
  

3. Tap on TradingView

• If it doesn't appear here, that means you likely subscribed via the website, not Apple.
  
  

4. Tap ‘Cancel Subscription’

• Follow the prompts to confirm.
  
  

5. Save Confirmation Email

• Apple will also send you a receipt or confirmation to your registered email.
  
  

C. What Happens After Cancelling on Mobile

• Your Pro, Pro+, or Premium features remain active until the paid period ends.
  
  
• You’ll no longer be charged in the next cycle.
  
  
• You can always re-subscribe later using the same Apple or Google ID.
  
  

D. Troubleshooting Tips

• If you can’t find TradingView in your subscriptions list, it means your billing was handled directly by TradingView.com.
  
  
• In that case, follow the desktop instructions in Section 5.
  
  
• Still not sure? Visit TradingView’s account settings. They will mention the billing source (Apple, Google, or Website).

7. How to Cancel a TradingView Subscription If Subscribed via Apple/Google

Many users initiate their TradingView subscription using in-app purchases on mobile devices. This means the billing—and therefore the control over subscription management—rests not with TradingView directly, but with third-party app stores like the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. If you’re searching for how to cancel TradingView subscription and you subscribed through one of these platforms, this section is crucial.

Let’s explore in detail how to identify the source of your billing and how to cancel accordingly.

A. How to Know Where You Subscribed

Before you proceed, it’s important to determine whether your subscription is:

• Managed directly through TradingView.com
  
  
• Handled by the Google Play Store
  
  
• Processed via the Apple App Store
  
  

To find this out:

1. Log into your TradingView account (either mobile or desktop).
   
   
2. Go to Account & Billing Settings.
   
   
3. Under the “Subscription” section, it will say something like:
   
   
   
   • “Billed via Apple”
     
     
   • “Billed via Google”
     
     
   • “Billed via TradingView”
     
     

This one line determines where you need to go to cancel your subscription. If it says Google or Apple, you cannot cancel through TradingView’s website—you must go through the respective app store.

B. Cancelling via Google Play (Android Users)

If your subscription was processed through Google:

Step-by-Step:

1. Open the Google Play Store on your phone.
   
   
2. Tap your profile icon (top-right corner).
   
   
3. Navigate to Payments & Subscriptions > Subscriptions.
   
   
4. Select TradingView from the list.
   
   
5. Tap Cancel Subscription.
   
   
6. Choose a reason (optional) and confirm.
   
   

You’ll receive an email confirmation from Google. Your subscription status will change to “Cancelled”, but the features will remain active until your billing cycle ends.

C. Cancelling via Apple App Store (iOS/macOS Users)

For users who subscribed through an iPhone, iPad, or Mac:

Step-by-Step:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   
   
2. Tap your Apple ID name at the top.
   
   
3. Select Subscriptions.
   
   
4. Look for TradingView in the list.
   
   
5. Tap Cancel Subscription and follow the on-screen confirmation.
   
   

You’ll still retain access until the next billing date. Apple will also email you confirmation.

D. Can TradingView Support Cancel for You?

No. If your subscription is managed via Apple or Google, TradingView customer support cannot cancel it on your behalf. This is a security and billing policy enforced by those app stores.

E. What If You Can’t Find TradingView in Your Subscriptions List?

If:

• TradingView doesn’t appear in Google or Apple subscriptions
  
  
• You’re sure you were charged
  
  

Then your subscription was most likely managed directly through TradingView.com. In that case, go back and follow the desktop steps explained in Section 5.

F. Summary Table

Understanding the source of billing is one of the most overlooked steps in figuring out how to cancel TradingView subscription, but it’s absolutely vital to avoid being charged again. If you're beyond the billing cycle and were accidentally charged, you may still have a shot at a refund. That’s what we’ll explore next.

8. How to Request a Refund From TradingView

Cancelling a subscription is one thing—but what if you already got charged for another month or year and you want your money back? While TradingView does not promote an open refund policy, there are scenarios where a refund may be granted, especially if you act quickly and follow the correct channels.

This section explains how to request a refund from TradingView, what qualifies you, and how to improve your chances of approval.

A. Does TradingView Offer Refunds?

Officially, TradingView states:

“All payments are non-refundable. Refunds may be offered at our sole discretion and only in certain limited cases.”

That said, many users have successfully received refunds when:

• They were charged after cancelling auto-renew.
  
  
• They forgot to cancel during the free trial.
  
  
• There was a double billing error or payment glitch.
  
  

B. Scenarios Where Refunds Are Typically Granted

You may qualify for a refund if:

1. You cancelled on time but still got charged.
   
   
2. You were charged without proper notice or email reminders.
   
   
3. There was a technical issue on TradingView’s end.
   
   
4. You upgraded accidentally (e.g., from Pro to Premium).
   
   
5. You were billed during the trial cancellation window.
   
   

In these situations, submitting a well-documented support request increases your chances.

C. How to Submit a Refund Request (Website Subscribers)

If your payment was handled directly by TradingView.com:

Step-by-Step:

1. Go to www.tradingview.com and log in.
   
   
2. Click on your profile > Help Center.
   
   
3. Open a New Support Ticket or use their Live Chat option.
   
   
4. Select the topic: Billing & Subscription > Refund Request.
   
   
5. Explain your case clearly and attach any relevant screenshots (e.g., bank transaction, cancellation email).
   
   

Here’s a sample refund request template:

Hello, I was recently charged for a TradingView subscription on [date], even though I had turned off auto-renewal (or forgot to cancel my trial in time). I would like to request a refund as I no longer wish to continue the subscription. Please let me know if additional details are needed.

D. If You Paid via Google or Apple

You must request a refund directly through their platforms.

Google Play:

1. Visit Google Play Refund Page
   
   
2. Select “Order History.”
   
   
3. Find the TradingView transaction.
   
   
4. Click “Report a Problem” > Request Refund.
   
   
5. Fill out the form and submit.
   
   

Apple App Store:

1. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com
   
   
2. Log in with your Apple ID.
   
   
3. Locate the TradingView transaction.
   
   
4. Click “Request Refund” > Choose Reason > Submit.
   
   

Refunds are usually processed within 5–10 business days.

E. Tips to Increase Refund Success

• Request within 48 hours of the charge.
  
  
• Provide exact details (dates, order ID, screenshots).
  
  
• Be polite and concise.
  
  
• Follow up if you don’t hear back in 3 days.
  
  

F. What If Refund Is Denied?

If your refund is denied and you feel it was unjustified, you can:

• Escalate within the support system.
  
  
• File a dispute with your bank (only as a last resort).
  
  
• Share your experience via reviews or public forums (often triggers re-engagement from support).
  
  

While not guaranteed, TradingView and its payment partners do issue refunds when valid reasons are presented clearly and quickly. If you're exploring how to cancel TradingView subscription and have been billed in error, don’t hesitate to go through the proper refund channels.

9. What Happens After You Cancel TradingView

Once you've successfully followed the steps to cancel your TradingView subscription, you may wonder—what exactly happens next? Will you lose access immediately? Will your saved charts and indicators disappear? Can you re-subscribe later? These are valid questions, and understanding the post-cancellation experience can help you plan your transition better.

This section explores everything that happens after cancellation so you know exactly what to expect.

A. Continued Access Until End of Billing Cycle

Even after you cancel or disable auto-renewal, your TradingView premium plan remains active until the end of the billing period. For example:

• If you cancel a monthly subscription 10 days in, you'll still enjoy all features for the remaining 20 days.
  
  
• If you're on an annual plan, your Pro, Pro+, or Premium access continues until the full 12-month period is over.
  
  

There’s no partial refund unless you qualify under exceptional circumstances, as covered in the previous section.

B. Downgrade to Free Plan

Once your paid plan officially expires, your account automatically downgrades to the free version of TradingView. This means you’ll still be able to log in and use the platform—but with feature limitations.

Key changes include:

• Chart layouts: Limited to 1 saved layout.
  
  
• Indicators: Reduced to 3 per chart.
  
  
• Alerts: Only 1 alert is allowed on the free plan.
  
  
• Ads: You will begin seeing advertisements again.
  
  
• No priority support or advanced data tools.
  
  

If you had customized layouts with multiple timeframes and indicators, you’ll only retain basic access after downgrade.

C. What Happens to Your Saved Data

This is a major concern for many users, but the good news is:

• Your saved charts, alerts, and templates are not deleted.
  
  
• However, access to them may be restricted until you re-upgrade your plan.
  
  
• Indicators and alerts beyond the free limit will be deactivated, not erased.
  
  

Example:

• If you had 10 alerts set in Premium, only the most recent or oldest (depending on your settings) may remain active after downgrade.
  
  
• Others will be saved but inactive—reactivated only if you re-subscribe.
  
  

D. Public Profile and Scripts Stay Intact

If you've published ideas, scripts, or analyses in the TradingView community:

• These remain live on your profile.
  
  
• Other users can still see and engage with your content.
  
  
• You can continue to comment and interact on forums and public streams.
  
  

Your cancellation only affects access to premium features—not your standing in the community or the visibility of your shared content.

E. Re-subscribing Later

You can re-subscribe to any plan at any time by:

• Visiting Account & Billing under your profile
  
  
• Choosing a new subscription tier (Pro, Pro+, Premium)
  
  
• Entering your preferred billing option
  
  

However, you may not always get the same discounted pricing you previously had. Promotional rates are usually limited to first-time users or seasonal offers. That said, TradingView sometimes sends returning user discounts via email within a few weeks of cancellation.

F. Support Access Reduces

While you’ll still have access to help articles and community support, priority or live chat support becomes unavailable. Response times may also be slower, especially if your inquiry is related to advanced data or billing.

In summary, cancelling your TradingView subscription doesn’t mean losing your account or data—it simply means reverting to the free-tier experience. The platform makes it easy to return, but unless you plan ahead (e.g., by exporting key layouts or saving settings), you may find yourself restricted in what you can do post-cancellation.

Now that you know what to expect after cancellation, let’s explore alternatives to cancelling altogether.

10. Alternatives to Cancelling – What You Can Try Instead

If you're considering cancelling your TradingView subscription, it’s worth asking: Do I need to cancel entirely, or is there a smarter alternative? Sometimes, the problem isn’t the product—but the cost, frequency of use, or a mismatch between plan and features.

Before going ahead with cancellation, explore these options. Many users who ask how to cancel TradingView subscription end up choosing one of these more flexible paths instead.

A. Downgrade to a Lower Plan

If you're on a Premium or Pro+ plan and don’t need all the features, consider downgrading instead of cancelling completely.

How to do it:

1. Go to your Account > Billing settings.
   
   
2. Select “Change Plan.”
   
   
3. Choose a cheaper option (e.g., from Premium to Pro).
   
   

This lets you retain many benefits—like multiple charts and alerts—while reducing your monthly or annual cost significantly.

For example:

• Premium to Pro+ saves ~$30/month.
  
  
• Pro+ to Pro saves ~$15/month.
  
  

This is especially useful if your trading frequency has decreased, but you still need charting tools.

B. Pause the Subscription (Where Available)

While TradingView doesn’t officially offer a “pause” button like some services do, you can:

• Cancel the current plan
  
  
• Let it lapse
  
  
• Re-subscribe when needed
  
  

Because your data is preserved, this acts as a manual “pause.” If you only need advanced tools during specific seasons (e.g., earnings periods, crypto volatility), this tactic helps you save money without losing continuity.

C. Use Free Alternatives Temporarily

If cost is a concern, consider using free platforms while you take a break from TradingView:

• Investing.com: Basic charting with technical indicators.
  
  
• Webull: For U.S. stocks and options with advanced tools.
  
  
• MetaTrader 4/5: Ideal for forex and CFD traders.
  
  
• TradingLite: A modern crypto charting tool.
  
  

While none match TradingView’s full scope, they provide interim support for technical analysis.

D. Ask for a Discount

If you’re planning to cancel due to price, consider contacting TradingView support and explaining your situation. Occasionally, users have reported receiving:

• A limited-time discount to retain membership
  
  
• Referral codes with extra months free
  
  
• Access to seasonal promotions
  
  

This isn’t guaranteed, but it never hurts to ask—especially if you’ve been a long-time subscriber.

E. Use a Shared Subscription

While TradingView doesn’t officially support account sharing, some small teams or trading communities create group memberships, especially for Premium. This reduces cost per person. Just be sure this complies with their terms of use.

F. Combine With a Broker's Platform

If you're using a broker like Zerodha, Interactive Brokers, or TD Ameritrade, explore whether their platforms meet your charting needs. Many offer:

• Advanced charts
  
  
• Real-time data
  
  
• Custom indicators
  
  

In some cases, combining broker tools with the free version of TradingView creates a strong and cost-effective setup.

11. Best Alternatives to TradingView You Can Try

If you’ve decided to cancel your TradingView subscription, that doesn’t mean you have to compromise on quality analysis or real-time data.

How to Choose the Right Alternative

Ask yourself:

• Do you need live trading execution from your charting tool?
  
  
• Are you mainly trading forex, stocks, or crypto?
  
  
• Do you value automation or manual charting?
  
  
• Do you prefer a community-focused experience?
  
  

Use the answers to decide between an institutional tool (like ThinkorSwim), a fast-and-free option (like Investing.com), or a niche-specific tool (like TrendSpider or Coinigy).

Switching from TradingView doesn’t mean downgrading. It simply means selecting a platform that aligns better with your budget, strategy, and preferred assets. Once you know how to cancel TradingView subscription, these options ensure you remain chart-ready without missing a beat.

12. FAQs About Cancelling TradingView Subscription

Many users begin the cancellation process with lingering doubts. Whether you’re uncertain about billing, data loss, or future reactivation, this section addresses the most common questions about how to cancel TradingView subscription—clearly and concisely.

Q1: Will I lose my charts and saved data if I cancel?

No. All your saved chart layouts, watchlists, and alerts remain linked to your account. However, once downgraded to the free plan:

• Only 1 layout will be accessible.
  
  
• Additional alerts and indicators will be disabled but preserved.
  You can reactivate them by re-subscribing at any time.
  
  

Q2: Does TradingView offer refunds after cancellation?

Only in limited circumstances. TradingView’s official policy states that payments are non-refundable. However, if you were billed due to auto-renewal and request a refund within a few days, support may issue one at their discretion. Faster action increases your chances.

Q3: What’s the difference between cancellation and turning off auto-renewal?

• Turning off auto-renewal means your plan will end at the end of the current billing cycle.
  
  
• Cancellation, when initiated early (e.g., within a trial period), may request immediate termination.
  For most users, these terms are functionally the same. After cancelling, your paid features remain active until the cycle expires.
  
  

Q4: Can I still log in after cancelling my subscription?

Yes. Your TradingView account remains active. You just lose access to paid features, and your account will be downgraded to the free plan. You’ll still be able to:

• View charts (with limitations)
  
  
• Post to the community
  
  
• Use basic indicators
  
  

Q5: Can I re-subscribe at a later time?

Absolutely. You can upgrade your plan at any time through your account dashboard. However, keep in mind:

• Promotional pricing may no longer apply
  
  
• Your previous billing cycle resets
  
  
• Reactivating does not automatically reinstate previously canceled alerts—you must re-enable them manually
  
  

Q6: I don’t remember how I subscribed. How do I check the billing source?

Go to your TradingView profile > Account & Billing Settings. Look for:

• “Billed via Apple”
  
  
• “Billed via Google”
  
  
• “Billed via TradingView”
  
  

This will tell you whether to cancel through the website, Google Play, or Apple App Store.

Q7: What if I see a charge after cancelling?

First, check:

• If you received a cancellation confirmation email
  
  
• The exact date you turned off auto-renewal
  If you were wrongly charged, contact:
  
  
• TradingView support (if paid via card or PayPal)
  
  
• Google Play or Apple for in-app purchases
  
  

Attach screenshots and request a refund.

Q8: Is cancelling from desktop the same as mobile?

No. You must cancel where you subscribed:

• If via TradingView.com → cancel on desktop.
  
  
• If via Google/Apple → cancel via app store.
  
  

Cancelling in the wrong place won’t stop auto-renewal.

13. Should You Cancel?

Now that you've explored every aspect of how to cancel TradingView subscription, from step-by-step cancellation processes and refund guidance to post-cancellation implications and competitive alternatives, the big question remains: Should you actually cancel?

The answer isn’t a simple yes or no—it depends entirely on your individual needs, usage habits, and financial goals. Let’s explore key considerations to help you make a confident, informed decision.

A. Evaluate the Value You're Getting

The core reason most users consider cancellation is the perceived lack of value from their current subscription tier.

Ask yourself:

• How often do I actually use TradingView?
  
  
• Do I regularly rely on the features exclusive to Pro, Pro+, or Premium?
  
  
• Are there indicators, alerts, or chart layouts that I can't live without?
  
  

If you find yourself logging in only occasionally, using basic functions like 1–2 indicators or just monitoring prices, the free plan may suffice. Paying $15–$60 per month for features you don’t actively use isn’t sustainable, especially if you're trying to optimize your trading costs.

B. Assess Your Trading Phase and Frequency

Your stage in the trading journey matters. Here’s how different user types might think about cancellation:

• Beginners: Often don’t need premium features. The free version supports learning and casual use.
  
  
• Part-Time Traders: May benefit from Pro or Pro+ only during active market phases (e.g., earnings season, crypto bull runs).
  
  
• Full-Time Traders: Likely rely on advanced features like second-based intervals, multiple charts per layout, or webhook alerts. Cancellation here should be done cautiously and possibly with a backup plan.
  
  

If your trading activity is seasonal or event-driven, a smart strategy could be to cancel or downgrade during slow periods and re-subscribe when market action picks up.

C. Consider Budget Optimization

Trading success is as much about managing costs as it is about making gains. Premium tools are great, but not if they're eating into your margins. If you're spending hundreds of dollars a year on charting platforms without measurable benefit, it's time to reconsider.

By cancelling or switching to a more cost-effective alternative (like MetaTrader, Investing.com, or even your broker’s charting tool), you may be able to redirect that money into:

• More trades
  
  
• Risk management tools
  
  
• Data subscriptions (e.g., news feeds, fundamentals)
  
  
• Education or courses
  
  

Every rupee or dollar saved improves your long-term performance.

D. Think About Workflow Disruption

Before cancelling, map out your workflow:

• Will you lose access to your favorite scripts, layouts, or watchlists?
  
  
• Are those features replaceable in other platforms?
  
  
• Is it worth the potential hassle of adapting to a new system?
  
  

If you rely heavily on TradingView for your daily decisions, cancellation might feel like a downgrade unless you're moving to an equally robust platform.

In such cases, downgrading instead of cancelling may offer the middle ground—preserving core features while cutting costs.

E. Don’t Cancel Impulsively—Plan It

If you’re still under a subscription cycle:

• Set a calendar reminder 5–7 days before your renewal.
  
  
• Disable auto-renewal immediately, so you won’t forget.
  
  
• Use the remaining period to download, back up, or export any essential data.
  
  
• Test-run alternatives before your plan expires.
  
  

This way, you maintain control over the transition without gaps in access or information.

F. A Balanced Recommendation

Here’s a simplified decision flow:

• Cancel if:
  
  
  
  • You rarely use premium features
    
    
  • You're switching to another platform
    
    
  • You're trying to cut down trading expenses
    
    
  • You’ve outgrown the need for charting tools altogether
    
    
• Downgrade or pause if:
  
  
  
  • You use TradingView seasonally or infrequently
    
    
  • You want to retain data but reduce cost
    
    
  • You’re testing another platform but not fully transitioned
    
    
• Stay subscribed if:
  
  
  
  • You rely on complex indicators, alerts, or scripts daily
    
    
  • TradingView is central to your workflow
    
    
  • You're an active trader with consistent returns that justify the cost
    
    

Cancelling a tool like TradingView doesn't make you less of a trader—it just means you’re being strategic about your resources. Whether you move to another platform, take a temporary break, or return later under better pricing, the goal is to stay in control of your tools, your costs, and your trading journey.

If you’ve decided that the time is right, now you know exactly how to cancel TradingView subscription, what to expect after cancellation, and what your best alternatives are.

Trade smart—and choose your tools wisely.
