Cancel Tradingview: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel TradingView in new zealand and keep your trading funds

Why you might want to cancel TradingView

TradingView is a web-based charting platform trusted by traders and investors across New Zealand who need real-time market data, technical analysis tools, and community features. The service operates on desktop browsers and mobile apps, with three main subscription tiers: Essential, Plus, and Premium.

You might be using TradingView to monitor watchlists, set price alerts, or analyse charts with advanced indicators. However, subscription costs add up quickly, especially if your trading patterns have changed or you've found alternative tools that suit your needs better. At Tocancel, we help thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate cancellations with confidence, and TradingView cancellations are no exception.

Understanding TradingView's subscription tiers

The Essential plan gives you access to 2 charts, 5 indicators, and 20 alerts with an ad-free interface. Plus upgrades you to 4 charts, 10 indicators, and 40 alerts. Premium unlocks unlimited charts, indicators, and alerts, plus advanced drawing tools and priority support.

Each tier is available on a monthly or annual billing cycle, with annual plans offering a discount if you commit for 12 months upfront. Auto-renewal means your card gets charged automatically unless you actively cancel before the next billing date. This is why knowing your cancellation deadline matters so much.

Your consumer rights in new zealand

Under New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have rights around unfair contract terms, misleading conduct, and service quality. However, TradingView operates globally, and its refund policies are strict. Understanding your cancellation options and your legal position protects you from unwanted charges.

Your legal position: If TradingView has misrepresented its service or failed to meet consumer guarantees, you may have grounds to dispute charges through the Commerce Commission (the New Zealand regulator for consumer protection). Most cancellations, however, are straightforward if you act before your renewal date.

Act before your next billing date to avoid unwanted charges and stay in control of your money.

How to cancel TradingView via the website

If you subscribed directly through tradingview.com, you cancel through the same platform using your account settings. This is the most straightforward path and takes just a few minutes.

1. Open your web browser and go to tradingview.com.
2. Sign in with your email and password.
3. Click on your profile icon or avatar in the top-right corner.
4. Select Settings from the dropdown menu.
5. Navigate to Billing in the left sidebar.
6. Click Subscriptions.
7. Locate your active subscription and click Cancel subscription.
8. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.

Pro tip: Cancellation takes effect immediately, but you keep access to your paid features until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on 15 February and your next renewal is 28 February, you retain full features until 28 February. This grace period protects your trading activity.

Critical reminder: You must cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date to avoid being charged again. Mark the renewal date in your calendar so you don't miss this window. Tocancel recommends setting a phone reminder three days before renewal as backup.

What happens to your account after web cancellation

Your TradingView account remains active and your saved charts, watchlists, and indicators stay in place indefinitely. Once your paid period ends, you automatically revert to the free tier with limited features. You can still log in and access public content, but premium features like multiple charts and custom alerts become unavailable.

Your data is safe, and you can always resubscribe later without losing your trading history.

How to cancel TradingView via apple app store

If you subscribed through the Apple App Store on an iPhone or iPad, you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings, not through TradingView itself. Apple manages the billing relationship, and TradingView cannot process cancellations on its behalf.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap your name at the top of the screen.
3. Select Subscriptions.
4. Find TradingView in the list of active subscriptions.
5. Tap TradingView.
6. Tap Cancel Subscription.
7. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.

Apple will send you a confirmation email within minutes. Your subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period, and you keep premium features until then.

Important: Some users miss this step and believe they have cancelled when they have not. Double-check your Settings > Subscriptions > TradingView to confirm the status shows "Cancelled" (not "Active" or "Renewing").

What apple cancellation means for your data

Cancelling through Apple does not delete your TradingView account or data. Your charts, watchlists, and alerts remain stored in TradingView's system. When you log back in after your paid period ends, you will see the free tier with limited functionality, and all your saved items will still be there.

Cancellation through Apple is safe for your account data; only your paid features pause.

How to cancel TradingView via google play

If you subscribed through Google Play on an Android device, you must cancel through Google Play's subscription settings, not through TradingView itself. Google manages the billing, and TradingView cannot process cancellations on its behalf.

1. Open Google Play on your Android device.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top-right corner.
3. Select Payments and subscriptions.
4. Tap Subscriptions.
5. Find TradingView in the list.
6. Tap TradingView and select Cancel subscription.
7. Follow the prompts to confirm.

Google will send you a confirmation email. Your subscription remains active until the end of your billing period, and you keep premium features until the renewal date passes.

Verification: After cancelling, return to Subscriptions and confirm that TradingView no longer appears under "Active subscriptions" or shows as "Cancelled". This confirms the request went through.

Timeline and what to expect after cancellation

Understanding the sequence of events after you cancel helps you avoid surprises and confirms that your cancellation worked correctly.

Immediately after you cancel

Your subscription status changes to "Cancelled" across all platforms (web, Apple, or Google). You retain full premium access until your current billing period ends. Tocancel recommends you test your account within 24 hours by logging in and confirming that your charts and alerts still work as expected.

At your renewal date

Your card is not charged. You automatically downgrade to the free tier. You lose access to premium features like multiple charts and custom alerts, but your account and saved data remain intact. You can log in and view your watchlists in read-only mode.

After the renewal date

You have full control to resubscribe at any time if you need premium features again. Your saved charts and watchlists will be waiting for you. There is no penalty for cancelling and returning later.

Once you cancel, your next billing date becomes your countdown; no further action is needed unless you want to resubscribe.

Refunds and TradingView's refund policy

TradingView's refund policy is restrictive, and most cancellations do not qualify for a refund. Here is what you need to know:

When TradingView will and will not refund

TradingView does not issue refunds for cancellations made after the subscription has been active for more than a few days. If you cancel within 14 days of purchase and have used the service minimally, you may be eligible for a refund, but this is not guaranteed. TradingView's support team will review your account on a case-by-case basis.

If you paid for an annual plan upfront and want to cancel mid-year, you will not receive a prorated refund. However, your access continues until the end of that 12-month period, which provides some value protection.

How to request a refund

If you believe you qualify for a refund, contact TradingView Support directly through the website. Go to the Support section, select your issue, and explain your situation. Include your account email, subscription details, and the reason for your refund request. Be clear and honest about when you subscribed and how much you have used the service.

Response times vary, but TradingView typically replies within 5-10 business days. Do not expect a full refund if you have used premium features extensively or if more than 14 days have passed.

Escalation: If TradingView refuses your refund request and you believe you have grounds under New Zealand's Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you can lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. Tocancel advises gathering all evidence (bank statements, email confirmations, account usage screenshots) before escalating.

Document everything and request a refund in writing; this creates a clear record if escalation becomes necessary.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling TradingView

Cancellation should be simple, but one small oversight can lead to unwanted charges and frustration. Here are the pitfalls to avoid.

Mistake 1: cancelling on the app instead of the correct platform

Many users believe they have cancelled by uninstalling the TradingView app. This does nothing. Uninstalling an app does not cancel your subscription. If you subscribed through Apple or Google, you must cancel through those platforms' settings, not through TradingView itself. If you subscribed on the web, you must cancel via tradingview.com.

Verify which platform you subscribed on by checking your payment method and email confirmation. Then cancel on that exact platform.

Mistake 2: missing the renewal date

Auto-renewal is the reason most unwanted charges occur. If you cancel one day after your renewal date, you have already been charged for the next month or year. You must cancel at least 24 hours before the next billing date to prevent this.

Write down your renewal date now and set a phone reminder for three days before. Tocancel users who do this never miss a deadline.

Mistake 3: assuming your cancellation worked without checking

After you submit a cancellation request, always verify the status within 24 hours. Log back into your account and check that your subscription shows as "Cancelled" (or "Inactive"). If it still says "Active" or "Renewing", contact support immediately.

Confirmation takes seconds and prevents expensive billing surprises.

Mistake 4: not backing up your watchlists before downgrading

When your paid period ends, you lose access to some advanced features. If your watchlists or custom alerts are critical to your trading, export them or screenshot them before your access changes. TradingView allows you to download or share charts in PDF or image format.

Export any essential trading data before your billing period ends to avoid losing important references.

After cancellation: what to do next

Cancelling is only the beginning. Here is how to protect your money and stay in control after TradingView is no longer charging you.

Verify no charge appears on your next statement

When your renewal date passes, check your bank statement or credit card within 2-3 days. Confirm that TradingView does not appear as a new charge. If an unwanted charge does appear, contact your bank or card provider immediately to dispute it. Banks in New Zealand can reverse unauthorised or incorrect charges within a defined window (typically 120 days).

Monitor for surprise charges

Set a monthly reminder to scan your statements for TradingView charges. If the company attempts to charge you again after cancellation, your bank can help recover the money. Keep all cancellation confirmations (emails, screenshots) for up to 12 months as proof.

Consider alternative charting tools

Now that you have cancelled TradingView, explore free or cheaper alternatives that fit your trading style. Tools like TradingView's own free tier, Yahoo Finance, or Investing.com offer charting without the premium cost. Tocancel can guide you toward transparent, cancellation-friendly services if you need help.

If you do switch services, ensure the new platform makes cancellation equally straightforward before you commit to a subscription.

Your rights under new zealand law

TradingView operates as a global service, but New Zealand consumer law still applies to you when you are the customer in New Zealand. Understanding your legal position empowers you to act if something goes wrong.

Consumer guarantees act 1993

This law protects you as a consumer. It requires that services must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered with reasonable care. If TradingView misrepresents its service (for example, if it claims unlimited alerts but then restricts them), this may breach the Act.

The law also requires that contracts be clear and fair. If TradingView's cancellation process is hidden or deliberately complicated, this could be considered misleading conduct.

What this means for your cancellation

If you have paid for TradingView and the service has failed to deliver what was promised, you may have grounds to request a refund or compensation, even if TradingView's policy says "no refunds". If you cannot resolve this with TradingView directly, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission.

Your legal position: You have the right to a fair contract, accurate information, and transparent cancellation. If TradingView has breached these rights, enforcement is available to you.

Escalating to the commerce commission

If TradingView refuses to address your complaint and you believe the company has breached consumer law, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission. You can do this online at www.comcom.govt.nz. The Commission investigates breaches of consumer protection laws and can require companies to refund money or change their practices.

This is a free service and protects not just you, but other New Zealand consumers too.

Know your rights and use them; the law backs you up if a company acts unfairly.

User reviews: what other new zealand traders say about TradingView

TradingView has a 4.5 out of 5-star rating across app stores and review platforms. Here is what users say.

Positive feedback: "Excellent charting tools and real-time data. The community aspect is great, and the free tier is generous if you don't need premium features."

Common concerns: "The subscription costs add up fast if you want all three paid tiers. Cancellation should be easier to find in the settings. Support responses can be slow."

Real users find TradingView valuable but expensive; knowing how to cancel puts you back in control.
