The free plan has limits
Most traders start on TradingView’s free plan and then meet its limits: the indicators on one chart, the charts on one screen, the alerts you can keep active.
Compare
TradingView vs Arth.live.
A free TradingView alternative.
TradingView is the charting service most traders know. Arth.live is a charting platform built from scratch in India, and it is free for everyone: every indicator, every tool and up to 16 charts on one screen, with no paid plan. Here are the two side by side, so you can decide which fits the way you work.

02 / Why traders look
Why look for a
TradingView alternative.
Arth.live starts from the other end. Nothing is held back for a paid plan, your own indicator starts as a sentence, and the broker is the one you already have.
Lifting them means a paid plan
Each step up adds more indicators, charts and alerts, and the cost rises with each plan.
Your own indicator means code
Building your own indicator on TradingView means learning Pine Script, or finding someone to write it.
The broker has to be a partner
To trade from the chart, your broker has to be one of TradingView’s selected partners.
03 / What you get
On Arth.live,
free.
Every tool, from the first day
100+ indicators, 25 candle patterns, 25 chart formations, 19 chart types, drawing tools, bar replay, saved layouts and alerts. Nothing is held back for a paid plan.
16 charts on one screen
Sixteen symbols or sixteen timeframes side by side on a larger screen. A phone shows four at a time.
Arth Script, in plain words
Say “show me when the close crosses above the 20 EMA with RSI above 55”. Arth AI writes the script, shows the rule back to you in plain words and draws it on your chart. Save it, use it in alerts, share it.
Your own language
Arth AI answers in 25 languages: English, 15 Indian languages and 9 others.
04 / One rule, two routes
The same idea,
both ways.
A trader has a simple idea for NIFTY. Buy when the 15-minute close crosses above the 20 EMA and RSI (14) is above 55. Exit when the close falls back below the 20 EMA. This is how it gets from an idea to a backtest on each platform.
| Step | On TradingView | On Arth.live |
|---|---|---|
| Put the rule in | Write it as a Pine Script strategy, or find a script that matches | Type or say the sentence to Arth AI |
| Check it | Read the code | Arth AI shows the rule back to you in plain words |
| Backtest it | Add the strategy to the chart and run its backtest | Ask for a backtest. The trades, P&L, win rate and drawdown come back |
| Use it again | Save the script | Save it under My indicators, or ask your own AI app through Arth MCP |
A backtest shows past results on historical candles. It is not a forecast. How Arth Script works
05 / AI
Arth AI, and
your own AI.
Arth AI is software, not an adviser. It gives no buy or sell calls.
Arth AI, inside the chart
It writes rules and indicators from plain language, explains what an indicator measures and backtests your own rules on historical candles. 100 free actions a month.
Arth MCP, for the AI app you already use
If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, connect it with Arth MCP and keep working in your own AI app. Arth MCP is live today: your AI can read candles, build a rule and run a backtest on the Arth.live engine. TradingView’s MCP server is in public beta on its paid plans.
06 / Trading
Trade from the chart,
with your own broker.
Your broker, not a short list
Arth.live is charts and research. When you want to trade, the free QuantPower bridge connects your own broker account to the same chart, with 100+ Indian brokers to choose from. Your money and positions stay with your broker.
Brokerage is your choice too
Because the broker is yours to choose, you are not tied to one that charges a fee on every executed order. The list includes brokers with lifetime-free brokerage plans.
Place it yourself, or automate it
In QuantPower you place orders from the chart, or turn a chart rule into an algo. An order that Quanty AI prepares waits for your confirmation. A live algo costs 200 tokens (₹200) for 28 days; charts, the option chain, the screener and the strategy builder are free.
Already on TradingView? Keep it.
You do not have to choose. If your alerts live on TradingView, QuantPower turns a TradingView alert into an order at your broker.
07 / Questions

Can I bring my Pine Script?
