A Bloomberg Terminal alternative for traders who live on the chart.
AlertaChart brings charts, alerts, custom indicators and crypto derivatives data into one browser workspace. Start free in minutes and add Pro tools when you need them. It is built for chart-driven trading, not to replace every institutional Terminal function.
AlertaChart & Bloomberg Terminal
Bloomberg Terminal is an institutional platform spanning all asset classes, with news, messaging, research and execution. AlertaChart focuses on charting, alerts and crypto market structure. Compare the tools you actually use.

Features
Charts first, no function codes.
Open a symbol and start working: candlesticks, drawing tools, built-in indicators and multi-chart layouts are a click away in the browser. Move between instruments and intervals, mark the levels that matter and keep your analysis in view.
Technical charting
Crypto derivatives context around price.
Explore funding rates, liquidation activity, recent trades and the order book alongside your chart. These views help put price movements in context. Coverage, history and access depend on the feed and your plan; received liquidation events are not a complete record of every exchange.
Crypto derivatives context around price.
Custom indicators without a separate research stack.
Write indicators and strategies in the built-in AlertaScript editor, test them on the chart and explore scripts shared by the community. AlertaScript is our own language and runtime; it is not BQL or Python.
AlertaScript
A workspace sized for your routine.
Organize watchlists, set alerts and open several charts at once — 2 on Starter, up to 16 on Elite. Share ideas with the community and continue on the mobile app. Compare the current plan limits to find the workspace that fits your routine.
View current plans
Markets
Explore crypto spot and perpetual markets, stocks, forex, indices and selected CME futures. Symbol availability, exchange coverage, market hours and data permissions vary. Check the symbol and plan before relying on a particular feed.

Plans
Start with free crypto charts and upgrade online when you need more. Paid plans add multi-chart layouts (from Starter) and stock, forex and CME futures charts (from Trader). Bloomberg does not publish Terminal pricing; access is arranged through Bloomberg. Our plan page shows current prices and limits.
Questions, answered
Can AlertaChart replace a Bloomberg Terminal?
For chart-driven trading it covers much of the daily workflow: charts, indicators, alerts, watchlists and crypto derivatives data. It does not offer Bloomberg's newsroom, cross-asset institutional data, Instant Bloomberg messaging or execution systems. If your work depends on those, keep the Terminal.
Can I use AlertaChart for free?
Yes. You can start with free crypto charts. Advanced features, additional markets and usage limits depend on your plan; the pricing page shows the current details.
Will prices and history match Bloomberg?
They can differ by exchange, contract, session, provider and available history. Bloomberg curates and normalizes its own data, while AlertaChart shows the selected exchange or provider feed. Compare the same instrument and interval, and check the feed details.
