A Free Alternative to Tradingview
Anyone who's studied real-time charts of cryptocurrencies has likely used tradingview.com at some point. It has a free version by default that has most of the tools you need for technical analysis.
One of the biggest drawbacks of this free version, and even the lower paid tiers of tradingview, is that you are limited by the number of indicators you can use at once. On top of this, you are limited in other ways as well.
I happened upon another website that is currently in Beta, and does not have these limitations. The interface contains most of the same functionality of tradingview, and a similar appearance as well. The site is gocharting.com.
I found that it took me about two minutes to adapt to the new interface, as the controls are more nested and tucked away.
As far as free charting software goes, I don't have many complaints. The only feature that seems to be missing, is the ability to switch to Logarithmic View. This may be a deal breaker for some. There is also no coin to fiat value conversion charts, only real trading pairs. So no Steem vs. USD charts for example. Again, maybe a deal breaker for some.
Here is a screenshot taken with the built-in screenshot tool.
I would imagine that at some point gocharting.com could become a paid or subscription service just like tradingview, but until then it's a great alternative that doesn't hide anything behind a paywall. Looking at their github, there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity, so maybe it will be free for a long time to come if it isn't abandonware.
if you prefer a dark theme, no problem.
Here is a printscreen screenshot to show the actual interface on the left and bottom. You will notice it's similar to tradingview, but much easier on the eyes as a lot of functionality is nested away in menu's.
I eventually figured out you can hide the watermark by right-clicking on the chart and selecting the option. makes the dark screenshot look better I think.
Anywho, thanks for reading. shares and comments are always welcome.
Happy Steeming!

Great find, thanks briggsy.
FYI, another alternative to hiding the watermark is tomake it more transparent. I do like the see the watermark just but barely. Good to have when displaying multiple tickers.
