At the time of writing (April 23, 2025, 1:03 PM IST), TradingView users across the globe are experiencing major issues with the platform, primarily the inability to view charts — a critical feature for technical analysts, day traders, and investors.
Surge in User Complaints
Since early morning hours, social media platforms and community forums have been flooded with complaints from users unable to load charts on both desktop and mobile versions of TradingView. Many traders noted that while the homepage and account dashboards were functioning, chart windows either remained blank or displayed endless loading animations. Some users also encountered performance lags and application crashes.
Downdetector, a popular website that monitors service outages, recorded a sharp spike in error reports specifically mentioning “charts not loading,” “data feed issues,” and “UI freeze” around 10:30 AM IST. The trend suggested a possible widespread server-side issue rather than isolated user-side glitches.
No Official Statement Yet
As of now, TradingView’s official status page has not reported any ongoing incidents. The lack of immediate communication from the company has only heightened user frustration. Many traders have called for transparency, especially given the platform’s massive user base and reliance on real-time data for financial decision-making.
Historically, TradingView has faced similar temporary glitches due to scheduled maintenance, heavy server traffic during major market events, or disruptions in third-party data feeds. However, the current issue appears to be more abrupt and severe, especially as it has rendered core functionalities like charting completely inoperable for many users.
Possible Technical Causes
While no official explanation has been provided yet, technical analysts suspect a backend synchronization issue or a failure in the real-time data rendering engine. In previous outages, even minor changes in data integration layers have led to temporary chart failures. Another possibility could be a regional outage in one of TradingView’s cloud infrastructure zones, particularly if the problem is concentrated in specific geographies like South Asia or Europe.
It’s worth noting that TradingView recently pushed an update to its desktop application, which might have unintentionally introduced bugs affecting chart rendering. Additionally, there’s speculation about load-handling capacity being tested due to a high volume of traffic triggered by today’s volatile market conditions.
Community Reaction
The community response has been swift and vocal. On Reddit, Telegram groups, and Discord servers, users expressed concern over potential missed trades and losses. One trader described the situation as “a nightmare for intraday traders” and added, “I can’t believe a platform of this scale doesn’t have redundant servers for such cases.”
Others have also reported that their TradingView app on Windows has caused overall system slowdowns since this morning, with memory usage shooting up abnormally, suggesting the problem may also lie in the app’s front-end optimization.
Temporary Workarounds for Traders
Until the issue is resolved, traders are trying to adapt by:
-
Switching to Alternative Platforms: Many are temporarily relying on other charting tools such as MetaTrader, Investing.com, or broker-integrated platforms.
-
Using Mobile Browsers: Some users have had limited success accessing charts by opening TradingView in mobile web browsers instead of the app.
-
Monitoring Twitter for Updates: Since the official site remains silent, traders are tracking relevant hashtags and user updates on Twitter and Reddit.
What Comes Next?
Given TradingView’s reputation for fast turnarounds in past incidents, it is likely that the technical team is already working behind the scenes to identify and fix the issue. If the outage persists beyond market hours, it could prompt a more formal response or even compensatory actions such as subscription extensions for paying users.
Traders are advised to remain calm, keep alternate tools handy, and watch out for any updates directly from TradingView’s support and system status teams.
Final Thoughts
The outage is a stark reminder of how much the trading community depends on a single platform for data visualization and analysis. It also highlights the need for redundancy and better transparency from tech providers during unexpected disruptions.
As of this moment, chart visibility remains compromised for a significant portion of TradingView’s user base. All eyes are now on the company to provide clarity and restore services at the earliest.
