A trader ranks eight charting platforms from S to F tier. TradingView, Bookmap, and DeepCharts get top marks for smooth design and order-flow tools. NinjaTrader, SierraChart, and ATAS are solid but held back by outdated interfaces. Webull and Robinhood don't cut it for serious trading.

TradingView. S tier. Everybody loves TradingView for a reason. Their UI is super smooth and it's easy for beginners. NinjaTrader. For charting, I would give this a B tier at best just because it's a little outdated. Webull. F tier. I, I don't even think real traders actually would ever chart on Webull. SierraChart. I'm gonna give this a B tier because it is really powerful, but it's so overcomplicated and literally will take you months to learn. ATAS. I'm going to give this a B-tier as well. It is a good platform, but it lacks a lot of customization. Robinhood. F-tier. Like, are we serious? Nobody actually charts on Robinhood, or at least I hope not. Bookmap. Absolute S-tier. This literally shows you where liquidity is resting in the markets and helps you visualize all of the order flow tools in a very easy way. DeepCharts. S-tier, without a doubt. This is the best charting tool out there on the market, and the people behind it, Fabio And Andrea are both amazing traders, and they actually build the platform from a perspective of what a trader would want.
