TrendSpider

Closest replacement

Best for: Active swing, intraday, systematic, and quantitative traders looking for automated chart analysis, scanning, alerts, strategy testing, and bots in one workspace.

• TrendSpider best matches the base workflow on strategy backtesting, technical analysis, and technical screening.
• TrendSpider lists Subscription pricing, so compare the current plan against your existing setup.

Watch for: High subscription cost and strict plan limits: There is no permanent free platform tier. Standard costs $82 on regular monthly billing, and plans limit active alerts, alert duration, bots, open workspaces, scanner timeframes, and backtest depth.

• TradingView best matches the base workflow on strategy backtesting, technical analysis, and charting.
• TradingView adds a free starting point that the base tool does not show. Free-plan limits: Signup required. Basic tier limits charts per tab, indicators, alerts, watchlists, and historical bars.

Watch for: Real-time market data can require add-ons: Optional real-time quote subscriptions and exchange-specific data fees.
