MetaTrader or TradingView?

Trading Tech and Tools
1

Hi there,

I’ve recently finished the BabyPips course and from it, it’s recommended to use MT4 (even has tutorials on how to install, setup, place orders, etc.).

After lurking around in the forums, I can see that most people are comfortable with MT4 and some people using MT5.

Before I knew about MetaTrader I’ve been using TradingView on my Mac and it’s very convenient because everything is on the web so I can use my charts and setups on Windows or Linux if I wished, and I don’t need to install anything else.

It seems like a no-brainer to me to use TradingView for chart analysis, am I missing something crucial with MetaTrader?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Of course we are all in the business of making money, and I think investing on the proper tools is crucial, especially if one tool works better for me than others.

I would rather spend my time learning one charting platform at the beginning, and if investing time on MT5 is counter-intuitive I would like to know why not, from the traders that use (or have used) both charting softwares.
