TradingView itself runs a tiered subscription model on its own site, with free and paid plans offering different levels of access. TradingView’s own pricing page lays this out clearly. So it’s a fair question whether any of that cost carries over when you’re using it through Deriv. The short answer is no, but it’s worth understanding exactly what that covers.

The Embedded Version Inside Deriv Is Free
TradingView’s charting engine, built directly into Deriv’s own platforms and available through charts.deriv.com, comes at no additional cost. Deriv’s own materials confirm this is included as part of the platform, not a paid add-on, and there’s no separate subscription, trial period, or upgrade prompt attached to using it. You get the same charting engine regardless of your account balance or trading volume, it’s simply part of what Deriv offers to anyone with an account.
What’s Included at No Extra Cost
- Over 100 built-in technical indicators
- More than 110 drawing tools
- Multiple customizable chart types and layouts
- Access across desktop and mobile devices
The Direct TradingView.com Connection Is Also Free to Set Up
Connecting your Deriv account to TradingView.com as a broker doesn’t cost anything either. There’s no fee for linking the two accounts together, and Deriv doesn’t charge anything extra for trades placed through the TradingView connection compared to trades placed directly on Deriv’s own platforms. The pricing and spreads you see are the same either way.
Where a Paid TradingView Plan Might Still Matter
If you’re using TradingView independently of Deriv, for other markets or brokers, TradingView’s own paid plans unlock things like more indicators per chart simultaneously, extended data history further back in time, and fewer server-side limitations on things like the number of active alerts you can run. None of this is required to use TradingView with Deriv specifically, but it’s a separate decision if you’re a heavy TradingView user across multiple platforms and brokers, where the free tier’s limitations might start to matter for reasons unrelated to Deriv at all.
The Bottom Line
For Deriv users specifically, whether you’re using the embedded charts in Deriv X or connecting your account directly to TradingView.com, there’s no cost tied to the integration itself. Our guide on Do You Need a TradingView Account to Use Deriv clears up a related, commonly confused point about account requirements.
Free tools are one way Deriv adds value, but there’s also a way to earn from the platform that costs nothing to explore either, simply by referring others to it. Worth a look here
