Technical analysis can be tricky to do, especially if the investor performing it doesn’t have access to an excellent charting service. So, using the best available websites can be a game-changing resource for new traders.

That is why we have decided to create the list of top five free websites. Our top criteria were the ease of use, the cleanliness of the service, and the professional scalability.

5. TradingView.com

Even without the community feedback, this website offers chats that go into detail, and their pay-to-use services are very affordable. You can also pay for real-time data updates.tradingview
