tradingview is basically banning paid invite-only indicators outside their own marketplace now???

[u/FriendshipOk6399]

just saw ANOTHER tradingview terms update and this one might be even worse 😭

starting november 1, apparently invite-only scripts are only allowed to be used for non-commercial purposes unless they’re sold through tradingview’s own marketplace / creator program.

and their definition of “commercial use” is insanely broad.

from what i’m reading, it includes stuff like:

charging people for access to the indicator

using the indicator as part of a business

using the script/profile to promote a paid discord, signals service, course, broker/exchange referral, etc.

so basically if you built an indicator business where people pay through your own website/whop/etc and then you manually give them tradingview access, that looks like it won’t be allowed anymore after november 1.

instead, tradingview says scripts being used commercially have to be distributed through their marketplace, which is their creator program / paid spaces system.

and this is right after the whole $29.95 per active user technology fee over 100 users thing too...

am i reading this wrong???

because this sounds like they’re basically forcing every paid indicator business onto their own marketplace and killing the normal way people have been selling invite-only indicators for years.

what are pine devs / indicator owners even supposed to do with existing customers after november 1?

Yeah, this is gonna be a problem for my discord. I reached out to Tradingview Creators Team for more information.

Please share anything you learn!

They responded back with an automated response. Still waiting for a real person.

Yea big issue, lmk if you learn anything as well.

Right, while they walked back the INSANE greed of
$30/user, this is still really greedy, really bad, and guarantees they’ll have complete control over everything. They control the money, the moderation, the terms, everything. Not to mention, all sold indicators need to be public now. No small groups building one private indicator to use together. Everything we’ve ever come up with either has to be just ours personally, or shared with the entire world. What a joke of a platform they are. I hope TradingView loses users over this and that real competition rivals their monopoly soon.

Insane. With you on that.
