TradingView
TradingView is by far the most popular charting and technical analysis tool for traders of all markets. In recent years, they have pushed to integrate their tool set with the most popular cryptocurrency exchanges and the results are impressive. Their online charting tools are open to both free users and pro users.
A free account should be more than enough for most traders to get started and learn the basics of technical analysis. Free accounts still have access to the same professional tools as pro users but are limited to three technical indicators and overlays per chart.
Listing all of TradingView’s features would take hours to get though. It’s best if you check them all out on their website.
Coinigy
Coinigy is another extremely well known technical analysis tool in the world of crypto. This tool is considered a charting tool but is bundled with many other features to help traders develop and execute their strategies. Coinigy’s charting service is built on top of the TradingView platform but uses custom data feeds to closely integrate with over 45 cryptocurrency exchanges. In addition to using the same indicators available on TradingView, users can setup SMS text alerts on custom events as well as execute trade orders across their exchanges.
Unfortunately, Coingy does not offer a free plan, but their feature set is well worth is if you find yourself trading across multiple exchanges.
