TradingView is the best canvas there is.
We give you the call to draw on it.
TradingView hands you world-class charts, screeners and alerts — and then you do the analysis. Entry Point Trading does the opposite: an opinionated daily call across the whole US large-cap universe, the reasoning shown, and a public ledger that grades every call including the ones we get wrong. This is the fair breakdown. We make no return or win-rate claims; transparency is the point.
What TradingView actually does better than everyone
TradingView is, flatly, the best charting and screening platform in retail trading — and for a lot of traders it is all they need. Credit where it's due, here's what it does brilliantly and where the honest limit is.
Where TradingView wins
- The best charting engine in retail trading, full stop
- A genuinely useful free tier plus low-cost paid plans
- Custom screeners, indicators and Pine Script
- Price alerts across almost every market
- A massive community and library of published ideas
Where the DIY model has a limit
- It hands you tools — not a decision
- You supply the discipline, exits and follow-through
- No one grades whether your read was right
- Blank-canvas paralysis: infinite indicators, no call
- Great charts still leave the hard part to you
If you want the best canvas to build your own analysis, TradingView is a genuinely great place to start — and we'll say so plainly. Plenty of EPT readers chart on TradingView too.
A charting toolkit vs an accountable daily call
The real question isn't "which has more indicators?" — it's "who actually makes a call, and does anyone show me when it was wrong?" Here's the difference across the dimensions that matter once you're trading real money. Note what's not in this table: any win-rate or return claim. We don't make them.
| Dimension | TradingView | Entry Point Trading |
|---|---|---|
| Core output | Charts, screeners, alerts — you build the read | Opinionated daily call + Power Rankings + macro/options context, done for you |
| Who makes the decision | You do, from the tools provided | We publish a call with the reasoning and factors shown |
| Accountability | Community ideas; no one grades your call | Public self-grading ledger that shows HIT and MISS, including our misses |
| Asset classes | Charts almost everything | Daily call across every S&P 500 + NASDAQ 100 name, plus sector, country and thematic ETFs |
| Exit discipline | Alerts you can set; discipline is on you | Exit rules and the trade-off between hit-rate and exit timing taught openly |
| Performance claims | None — it's a tool, not a signal | We make none — no win-rate or returns published until the live record earns it |
| Free way to evaluate | Strong free tier | Free preview + free report, no time-boxed trial |
Why we lead with our misses instead of a win rate
Almost every signal service markets a headline win rate or a cherry-picked backtest. We do the opposite on purpose. Our live record is being built in the open, and we publish no performance claims until it genuinely earns them. In the meantime we grade our own calls publicly — each one marked HIT or MISS, misses included — and we teach the uncomfortable truth that a high hit-rate can still lose money without exit discipline. That is the one thing a blank charting canvas can't do for you: make a call and then own whether it worked.
The breadth compounds it. One dashboard scores every S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100 name — plus sector, country and thematic ETFs — identically, every trading morning, with macro, options-flow, smart-money and technical analysis in the same place. No name is skipped because it was not interesting that day.
To keep this honest: EPT is research and decision-support, not investment advice, and not a promise of profit. It sharpens your process — it doesn't replace your judgment.
