TradingView reverses off-platform sales ban and sets 100-seat allowance for paid scripts

TradingView has formally changed course on a planned restriction that would have curtailed sales of Pine Script indicators and strategies outside its own marketplace. Its 6 November terms confirm that the previously announced 1 November prohibition will not take effect. Vendors can continue charging through websites, courses and communities as well as through TradingView's Paid Spaces. The important new trade-off is a capacity meter for off-platform customers, rather than an immediate blanket sales ban.[1][2]

From 1 February 2027, Premium-and-higher vendors receive 100 active seats for customers granted access through their own channels. Further blocks of 100 seats cost $300 a month. A person counts once even if permitted to use several scripts; a customer granted access before the deadline remains outside the new meter until the vendor extends or adds to that access. Marketplace customers are excluded from this seat calculation, and the marketplace fee is currently zero, a rate that TradingView says may change with notice.[1]

What changes for brokers and counterparties

Consider a vendor who already has 350 legacy customers and later extends 40 accounts and adds 80 new people after February begins. TradingView's example gives 120 chargeable seats, leaving one additional 100-seat block above the 100 included. At $300 a month, the extension costs $3.60 per chargeable seat only if all 100 additional seats are used, or $15 a month per incremental seat if just 20 seats occupy the paid block. These are arithmetic illustrations of the capacity model, not published per-user transaction fees.[1]

There are earlier operational deadlines. From 15 November existing private scripts may be converted to public invite-only scripts; from 1 December private scripts with more than five users cannot add or renew access until converted or reduced. TradingView plans, but has not yet released, an access-control API by the end of December. That timeline matters for broker technology vendors whose indicator subscriptions are embedded in client packages. Automated fulfilment, customer grandfathering, refund rules and the distinction between private testing and paid public offerings now belong in the platform migration checklist.[1]
