Time to switch chart providers :)
My monthly BPT bill is not $50, it's more like $80 because I
have to subscribe to StockCharts dot com also to get the full
benefit of BPT. I hope they're giving you a kickback!!
yeah changing to a new platform is not that simple - is that we
have built a custom backend that takes takes
Stockcharts.com, our server logs
into it, and automatically places the charts into the newsletter.
All we have to do is click one button and BOOM, the chart image and
URLs gets placed into the newsletters or the blog community.
The server also has access to all the 5000 charts or whatever
we have saved, all we have to do is type a keyword and pull out any
stock or chart from our saved list. We cannot do that in something
like Trading View.
We can even click duplicate and have all the charts and links
from one newsletter appear as a new newsletter - which also saves a
bunch of time if we are using a lot of the same things
With something like Tradingview there is NO way to integrate our
server into that and have it place the chart images in the
newsletter. We'd have to manually take screenshots of each
chart, and then manually upload them, taking hours longer.
haven't you guys every wondered why we can have 50 or 100 chart
images in a newsletter? Doing that by taking screen shots and
manually loading them into a newsletter, then re arranging them
would add a couple hrs to the newsletter - it's the efficiently
we've built, so that's why we continue to use the
Stockcharts.comfor now
I'll make a short video sometime to show the the backend
how we manage all these and build newsletters
even the blog community - we are not manually saving and pasting
images like you guys - we post images to the blog directly from the
newsletters themselves with one click, there's a lot here you don't
see, again I'll make a video on it sometime

Yep, I added it for the same reason, but costs are piling up
with various subscriptions. Stockcharts only good for reviewing BPT
charts...which is great, but I want something like IBD charts that
have good fundamental overlays on top of price. I'm all in on
TradingView at this point so just questioning where I can remove
costs for duplicative services. I'm probably just going to give up
on the ability to read BPT annotations in Stockcharts.
Daytrading seems hardly possible in StockCharts...or maybe
I'm missing something? Crazy considering what they
charge.
yeah I don't know, I was talking to a subscriber the other day,
he's made 10's of thousands of dollars from our systems signals,
trade ideas, and analysis. He has multiple subscriptions, but
again if a website is making him 1000's of dollars, does he really
care about a cutting a $50 a month subscription? Honestly as
long as the subscription makes you more than what it costs, then
it's worth keep - it's not hard to get some ideas from us that
makes you more than the $50 a month it costs.
again for folks who have small accounts and money is tight I get
it, otherwise most traders should focus on improving their trading
and plan, vs cutting ever expense.

yeah, i agree here... seems to me well worth it.. some months i
don't use some of the subscriptions i have but ultimately they have
all paid for themselves.. Stockcharts has lots of quirks but I love
having the custom charts & indicators to pull up when i like
and it feels like with Trading View you have to update the URL's
every so often as the links seem to break.
Of course Trading View has plenty of other advantages but I
guess nothing's perfect and I'd rather have more tools on my belt
than less. Anything that's useful is worth keeping and anything
that might be useful is worth trying.
And of course there's that old chestnut, you've got to spend
money to make money..

You might be holding yourself back by tying wagon to
StockCharts. Lots of YouTubers creating daily videos with repeating
decks that update daily. The one I follow closest does it
with ThinkorSwim and it's very slick. He says "we" a lot, so maybe
he has a decent size backend team working to produce the vids. Not
sure.
