What changed
CoinBeacon has always drawn its charts with TradingView technology — every board, every thumbnail and the classic terminal are rendered with Lightweight Charts, the open-source library TradingView publishes. What we did not have was the full product: the drawing tools, the studies library, the symbol search, the chart layout most traders already know from TradingView itself.
That is now live. A second charting engine sits alongside the existing one, and you can switch between them from either page. Nothing was taken away to make room for it.
It runs on our data, not a widget feed
This is the part that took the work. TradingView’s Advanced Charts is a renderer, not a data source: it asks a datafeed for candles and draws whatever comes back. The feed behind it here is our own — the same pipeline that runs the alerts, the screeners and the detectors — so the candles you see on the terminal are the candles the product actually reasons about.
Six order books are charted, each as its own market:
- Binance Spot
- Binance Futures
- Bybit Futures
- OKX Futures
- Gate.io Futures
- HTX Futures
across nine timeframes — 1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1D, 1W — with the venue named on every search result, because BTCUSDT on a spot book and BTCUSDT on a perpetual are not the same instrument and should never be shown as if they were.
One quiet fix shipped with it: the price axis now uses each venue’s real tick size, read from the exchange’s own instrument definition, instead of guessing the number of decimals from the last price. A perpetual quoted in whole cents and a spot pair quoted to eight decimals now each read correctly.
What you get
TradingView’s drawing toolbar — trendlines, channels, Fibonacci tools, position boxes, text and measurements — and TradingView’s own studies library, on top of the symbol search and the chart settings the platform ships with. If you have used TradingView, there is nothing here to learn.
The small print, stated plainly: signed-in users get a streaming edge on Binance spot and futures, where we run a live socket. Everywhere else — and for visitors browsing without an account — the newest candle is refreshed by polling rather than streamed. It is close to live, but it is not a tick feed, and we would rather say so than let you assume otherwise.
The classic chart is not going anywhere
The original terminal keeps its twelve indicator toggles, the 1-second candles on Binance spot, and the detector overlays — trendlines, chart patterns, candlestick patterns, support and resistance levels — that are drawn from our own analysis and have no equivalent in an off-the-shelf charting library. The pattern boards and the coin pages keep rendering with Lightweight Charts, which is the right tool for painting a hundred small charts on one screen.
Two engines, one set of markets, one URL shape. A link to a chart works in either.
Free, and staying free
The Advanced Charts terminal is open to everyone, including visitors who have never signed up. No paywall, no trial, no “pro” tier hiding the drawing tools. That is partly how we would have built it anyway and partly a condition of the licence, and both reasons point the same way.
Thanks to the TradingView team for the licence and for a charting library that is genuinely a pleasure to integrate.
