How to Cancel TradingView Subscription: A Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding TradingView Subscription Cancellation

Before initiating the cancellation process, it's important to understand how TradingView subscriptions work. The platform offers various subscription plans, including monthly and annual billing cycles. When you cancel your subscription, you'll typically maintain access to premium features until the end of your current billing period.

TradingView's cancellation policy aims to be transparent and user-friendly. Whether you're looking to downgrade to a free account or simply take a break from premium features, the process is straightforward and can be completed entirely through your account settings.

Step-by-Step Cancellation Process

Canceling your TradingView subscription involves navigating through your account settings and following specific steps. Let's break down the process in detail to ensure a smooth cancellation experience.

Important Considerations Before Canceling

Before finalizing your cancellation, consider several important factors that might affect your decision or the cancellation process.

Timing Your Cancellation

The timing of your cancellation can impact when you lose access to premium features. If you're on an annual plan, canceling mid-cycle means you'll still have access until your year ends. For monthly subscribers, service continues until the next billing date.

Consider your trading needs and upcoming market events when timing your cancellation. If you're in the middle of important analysis or working on specific charts, ensure you have enough time to complete your work or save your setups.

Saving Your Work

Before canceling, take steps to preserve your trading setups and analysis:

1. Export important charts and layouts
2. Save custom indicators and scripts
3. Download any necessary trading data
4. Document your workspace configurations

Understanding Refund Policy

TradingView's refund policy varies depending on several factors:

• Time since purchase
• Subscription type
• Usage during the subscription period
• Payment method used

For specific refund requests, contact TradingView support with your account details and reason for the refund request.

After Cancellation

Understanding what happens after canceling your subscription helps manage expectations and plan accordingly.

Access to Features

After cancellation, but before your subscription period ends:

• Full access to premium features continues
• All charts and indicators remain accessible
• Alerts and saved work stay active

Once your subscription period ends:

• Account reverts to free tier

• Basic charting tools remain accessible
• Saved work remains viewable but may have limited functionality

Data Retention

TradingView maintains your account data even after cancellation. Your charts, indicators, and settings remain saved in case you decide to reactivate your subscription later. However, certain premium features will be inaccessible until you resubscribe.
