TradeGrub Charts

Updated: August 2026

A Koyfin alternative with a real charting engine attached

Koyfin is built for fundamental research and does that job well. Where it thins out is technical charting: no Renko, Kagi, Heikin Ashi, or Point and Figure, roughly ten drawing tools, no scripting, no backtesting, and no execution. TradeGrub carries the fundamentals work and adds all of that.

Common Questions

Do I lose the fundamentals coverage?

Very little of it. Financial statements with trend charts, analyst ratings and price targets, consensus EPS estimates, SEC filings, institutional ownership, insider activity, an economic map, and composable dashboards all ship. The remaining gaps are multi-period forward estimate series, arbitrary metric graphing, valuation multiple bands, and ETF holdings and fund flows, all on the roadmap.

What do I gain?

501 indicators against roughly 40, 88 drawing tools against roughly 10, 134 pattern detectors, Pine-compatible and Python scripting, a full backtester with Monte Carlo and parameter sweeps, Level 2 and Time and Sales, live broker trading, and crypto across roughly 80 exchanges.

Is TradeGrub Charts really free?

Yes. The free tier includes all 501 indicators, 88 drawing tools, 134 pattern detectors, unlimited alerts, and backtesting, with no ads and no per-chart indicator caps. Pro at $5.99 per month, or $4.99 billed yearly, adds the TradeGrub data feed, cloud sync, and server-side alert evaluation.

How current is this comparison?

Feature counts for TradeGrub are read directly from the product registries rather than from marketing copy. Competitor rows reflect publicly documented capabilities and published pricing at the time of the last review, and pricing in particular changes often, so treat the other columns as a starting point and verify anything you are about to make a purchase decision on.
