Markov vs TradingView: what each is for.

TradingView is a general charting and social platform for stocks, bonds, ETFs and crypto, with a large library of community indicators. Markov is a narrower crypto chart that puts Hyperliquid's resting order book, open interest and whale prints beside price, each panel naming its source. You can use both: Markov's Session Map and Regime Compass are free TradingView scripts.

Markov vs TradingView

What TradingView is

TradingView describes itself as a charting platform and social network. It offers screeners for stocks, bonds, ETFs, crypto coins, and CEX and DEX pairs, a Pine Script language for building indicators, bar replay, paper trading, chart trading, and volume footprint, TPO and session volume profile tools. Its pricing page lists 150K+ community-powered indicators.

What TradingView does well

Stocks, bonds, ETFs and crypto in one place, and a very large community library: its pricing page lists 150K+ community-powered indicators.
Pine Script to write your own tools, and screeners across stocks, ETFs, bonds and crypto.
Bar replay and paper trading, so an idea can be studied against history.
Custom intervals including seconds and range bars, and up to 16 charts in a tab on its top plan.

Where Markov differs

Markov is built for crypto perpetuals. It draws Hyperliquid's resting order book under the candles as a heatmap, free for BTC, ETH and SOL with an account.
Open interest and whale prints, both from Hyperliquid, sit on the same free chart. The whale flow pane and the chart's funding pane are on Pro and above. Funding for BTC, ETH and SOL is on the free Derivatives page. Every panel names its source, its state (measured, computed or modeled) and its freshness.
It is read-only, with no scripting language, screener or replay, and it covers 8 coins (BTC, ETH and SOL free, and HYPE, XRP, DOGE, SUI and BNB on paid plans).
Its recorded history is short. Free has the last 8 hours on 5m. On paid plans it is growing to 30 days from 14 Oct 2026 on 1h and 4h, 24 h on 5m and 15m, 6 h on 1m.

Markov

The pricing page says what each plan includes, and what exists today.

Which to use

Choose TradingView if you follow stocks, bonds, ETFs and crypto together, want to write or borrow indicators, screen many symbols, replay history, or chart in seconds. It does these better than Markov.

Choose Markov if you want to see where Hyperliquid's resting size sits next to price, with open interest and whale prints, in one crypto-only view, free for BTC, ETH and SOL with an account. You can keep TradingView for the rest.

Many traders use more than one tool. Markov provides research tools and education, not financial advice.

Questions.

Does Markov replace TradingView?

No. Markov's chart is crypto-only and read-only, with no scripting, screener or replay. It shows Hyperliquid's resting order book, open interest and whale prints on one chart. You can use both.

Can I use Markov on a TradingView chart?

Markov publishes two free open-source TradingView scripts, Session Map and Regime Compass. TradingView limits indicators per chart by plan (Basic 2, Ultimate 50 on its pricing page), so check your plan's limit before adding scripts.

Is Markov free?

BTC, ETH and SOL on the live chart are free with an account, no card. HYPE, XRP, DOGE, SUI and BNB and the longer timeframes are on paid plans, each with a 3-day free trial (not in South Korea), card required. See the pricing block.
