Why Is My TradingView Chart Delayed?

Why is my TradingView chart delayed?

Exchanges charge for live prices, so TradingView shows many markets delayed unless you buy real-time data for that exchange. Type your symbol or exchange above to see exactly how long the delay is for that market on TradingView and what real-time costs. The figures come from TradingView’s own market data page and are checked automatically every week.

• Many stock and futures exchanges are delayed by 10 to 15 minutes on free data. CME Group futures (CME, CBOT, COMEX and NYMEX, including the E-minis) are a common example.
• Crypto exchanges and forex brokers are usually real-time for free, because those sources don’t charge TradingView for display.
• Some markets are included in paid plans, so any paid TradingView plan shows them live without an add-on.
• US stocks: free accounts get limited real-time prices via Cboe One, which isn’t the full consolidated feed; full NASDAQ and NYSE data are paid add-ons.

How to fix a delayed chart

1. Check the source of the symbol. The same instrument often exists from several sources: a futures contract from CME is delayed, while a CFD on the same index from a broker such as OANDA updates live. Our symbol format guide explains the prefixes.
2. Buy the exchange’s real-time add-on if you need that exact feed. It’s a monthly add-on on top of your TradingView plan; a few sources offer real-time to professional users only.
3. Check whether the market is open. A chart that isn’t moving may simply be outside trading hours; see world market hours. For US stocks, pre-market and after-hours bars only show if extended hours are switched on in the chart settings.
4. Prices in the trading panel come from your broker. TradingView’s support centre explains that bid and ask quotes in the order panel come from your connected broker, so they can be delayed if the broker’s own data for that symbol is delayed, even when your chart is real-time.

If you’re choosing a plan, the TradingView plan picker shows what each plan includes, and the sale tracker shows whether there’s a discount running.
