TradingView, an online charting service and social network for traders and investors, was created in 2011 on the basis of an online platform for technical analysis.
The project was launched as an alternative for the existing desktop products related to the technical analysis of different assets - very complex and expensive in their operation trading and analytical terminals. The specialists of the company initially planned to create a free and publicly available service for a wide audience with further monetization. Less than two years later, the startup was noticed, secured cooperation with CME and Microsoft, and attracted serious investments.
