ChartPen is a browser-based chart annotation tool for trading educators. It is not positioned as a TradingView replacement, nor does it provide real-time data, trading signals, or investment advice. Instead, it helps users import screenshots from TradingView, MT4, Binance, or any broker chart, then add professional annotations, create teaching demos, and export content.
The toolset is designed around trading education use cases. It includes brushes, line segments, arrows, rectangles, horizontal lines, Fibonacci tools, channels, support/resistance zones, Elliott waves, harmonic patterns, buy/sell signals, long/short positions, text, an eraser, screenshot area selection, and image import. One standout feature is Stream Candles, which lets users generate bullish and bearish candlesticks by moving the mouse, and combine them with a random-walk model to build market scenarios for teaching. Pro also adds recording and playback, GIF export, cloud sync, unlimited projects, and custom-logo branding.
The free plan is permanently free and includes all drawing tools, 35 pattern templates, local saving for 3 projects, and PNG export with a ChartPen watermark. However, it does not include cloud sync or GIF export, and it contains ads. The early-bird price for Pro Lifetime is a one-time payment of $79, which will later increase to $97. A 14-day refund policy is available. Payments are processed by Stripe. In terms of copyright, users retain ownership of the content they import and create, but they are responsible for ensuring they have the right to use any screenshots. ChartPen’s own code, design, and branding remain the property of the platform.
ChartPen’s strengths are its focused positioning, short learning curve, and no-install browser-based workflow. It is well suited for quickly turning charts into course visuals, YouTube thumbnails, community signal images, or internal reports. The one-time purchase model can be cost-effective for people who create trading education content over the long term. Its drawbacks are that mobile and tablet use are not the best experience, as it still depends heavily on a desktop setup with a mouse and keyboard; the free plan has limited project storage and export capabilities; the available materials do not mention multi-user collaboration; and service availability is not absolutely guaranteed.
The collected materials do not provide information on network accessibility from mainland China, so this remains unknown. For payments, only Stripe is explicitly supported, and compatibility with domestic Chinese bank cards or payment methods cannot be confirmed. If access or payment is restricted, an alternative workflow would be to use TradingView screenshots together with PowerPoint, drawing tools, OBS, and similar software. However, branding, trading-specific pattern tools, and playback capabilities would be more fragmented.
