Pravex

What it is

A charting application that runs in a browser tab and charges nothing. The homepage counts 129 indicators, 21 chart types, 87 drawing tools, layouts of up to 16 charts, 32 preset intervals and 19 interface languages, and says every one of those counts is read from the app's code and checked by a test. The 21 chart types are the reason a crypto reader lands here rather than on TradingView: they include volume footprint, time price opportunity (TPO) and session volume profile, the three order-flow views that elsewhere cost a subscription or a Windows install.

The order-flow kit is the one a desktop platform sells. Footprint comes as Buy and Sell, Delta, Total or Ladder, drawn as a cluster or a profile, with an imbalance ratio, a point-of-control mark and a summary box or table. Eight profile studies sit beside it, among them TPO and visible-range volume profile. Bar replay works down to one-minute candles, at nine speeds from one candle every ten seconds to ten candles a second, on one chart or on a whole layout at once, from a chosen candle, a date or a random one. Intervals go down to one second and include tick and range bars.

There is a script editor, and it is not Pine: indicators are written in JavaScript inside the app, kept private, shared by invite or published. Twenty-three built-in strategies report profit, drawdown and a trade list, and the bundle carries CSV, XLSX and PNG writers for the results. Alerts are 1,000 per device, delivered as a sound, a pop-up and a browser notification.

The publisher is a person, not a company. The terms and privacy policy name Pravex as operated by Saurav Wagh in India, under Indian law, with the same person as data fiduciary under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act and as grievance officer. The product is young: the Internet Archive's first capture of the homepage is 16 April 2026, the about page and disclaimer are dated 29 September 2026, the terms 26 October and the privacy policy 27 October, and the earliest blog posts are from 29 September 2026. The GitHub organisation of that name holds no repositories, so there is no source to read.

Pricing

0 USD, one plan, nothing locked. The homepage prints a single plan at zero with the lines "No paid plan" and "No trial clock", and the FAQ explains the economics: the charts render in the reader's browser and the prices come straight from the exchanges, so each user costs the operator very little. No card is taken anywhere in the product.

The terms say something different. Section 3.6 of the terms of use states that the app is free today and that the operator may change, add or remove features, add limits or paid plans, or stop offering the app at any time, with the single promise that nothing will be charged unless the user chooses to pay. The homepage's "nothing you use today will move behind a paywall later on" is not in the contract. A free product with one operator and no revenue is a product whose terms matter more than its FAQ.

Data & coverage

Three sources, and the chart names the one in use. Crypto streams from Binance and Bybit with Hyperliquid as the backup, and where Binance and Bybit are blocked, as in the US, the chart switches to Hyperliquid and says so on the chart. The shipped code bears that out: it opens websockets to Binance's spot stream and Bybit's v5 linear stream, reads Binance spot klines and tickers, reads Binance USDT-M futures funding, premium index and open-interest history, reads Bybit instruments, tickers and risk limits, and posts to Hyperliquid's info endpoint. The OKX, Coinbase and Kraken hosts named in the privacy policy appear in the code only as server-time pings, which fits a reachability check rather than a data feed.

Browser to exchange, with no server in between. The terms say the user's browser contacts the exchanges directly, and the privacy policy adds that those exchanges therefore see the reader's IP address and the markets requested. The upside is that the operator holds no copy of the tape and has no feed to degrade; the downside is that an exchange rate limit or a regional block is the reader's problem, and the vendor's own disclaimer says the data may be late, missing or wrong, against the homepage's "No delayed feed".

The non-crypto markets are Hyperliquid perpetuals, not the instruments. US oil is Hyperliquid's CL perpetual and Brent its BRENTOIL perpetual, both on the xyz exchange, at the oracle price Hyperliquid publishes. SP500 and XYZ100 are perpetual markets on the same exchange that follow the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq-100 without being them. Gold and silver are described as live spot XAU/USD and XAG/USD, open hours only, and no page names where those bars come from. Six forex pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, EUR/GBP, EUR/JPY, GBP/JPY) exist as symbols in the code; the vendor's own comparison page says forex is still being added.

Footprint has a history problem the vendor states plainly. Older footprint candles are built from candles rather than trades and are an estimate of where volume sat; when the chart is reading a market from a fallback exchange the legend says "Footprint from now" and the cells fill from new trades only. The vendor also says footprint fails where trades are few and that the lowest timeframes give the noisiest numbers. Nothing on the site states how many bars of history a chart will load.

No chain data, no order book depth. Everything is an exchange candle or trade feed. There is no DEX pool data beyond Hyperliquid's own markets, no wallet or contract activity, and no depth-of-market or heatmap view.

Integrations

No API, no webhooks, no MCP server. Nothing in the product sends anything out of the browser except an optional sync to the vendor's database when signed in, and the terms forbid using the app to send bulk requests to the exchanges or to copy, resell or redistribute the market data it shows.

Storage is local unless you sign in. Layouts, drawings, settings, watchlists, alerts, notes and the journal live in the browser's storage; without an account the operator holds no copy, and the terms tell the reader to export what they want to keep. Signing in is a one-time link or code to an email address, with no identity check, and copies those items to the vendor's database for other browsers. Image drawings never leave the device. The account panel deletes the account and everything synced to it.

No native app. The product is a web app with an add-to-home-screen prompt. There is no iOS, Android or desktop build.

Limitations

It does not trade. Section 3.1 of the terms says the app places no trades, holds no money and never asks for exchange keys. The exchange buttons on a chart deep-link to the venue's own trading page. A reader who wants footprint and a ticket on one screen is looking at a terminal, not here.

Three exchanges, one of them a fallback. Binance, Bybit and Hyperliquid. OKX, Coinbase, Kraken, Bitget, Deribit and every DEX other than Hyperliquid are absent, and there is no cross-venue aggregate of anything.

Alerts stop when the tab closes. They are checked in the browser, delivered as a sound, a pop-up and a browser notification, and the terms say they only work while the app is open. No email, no webhook, no push to a phone.

The counts on the site do not agree. The homepage says 129 indicators; the indicator index lists 187 entries once roll-up pages, two chart-type pages and 45 candlestick patterns are counted. The homepage says footprint is free on every market carried; the footprint page says crypto charts. The homepage says crypto streams from Binance and Bybit; the indicator pages draw Bitcoin from Hyperliquid's candles. None of these is a false claim on its own, and together they mean the marketing pages are not a source to quote without opening the chart.

A single operator, under Indian law, with a 1,000-rupee liability cap. The terms are governed by the laws of India with exclusive jurisdiction in Indian courts, consumers elsewhere keep their mandatory local protections, and total liability is capped at ₹1,000. That is the contract a reader signs by using a free product, and it is the contract that applies if the paid plan the terms reserve ever arrives.

The comparison pages are the vendor's. The site publishes alternatives pages against TradingView, ATAS, Exocharts, Quantower, Sierra Chart and MetaTrader, written and reviewed by the founder, and its sitemap carries pages aimed at queries for cracked and premium-free TradingView. Its editorial policy says there are no affiliate links and no paid placements, which is consistent with what the pages show, but every number on them about Pravex is self-reported.

Alternatives

If the chart needs a ticket on it, GoCharting is the browser terminal with the same footprint and TPO kit, 20 USD a month for its crypto plan and one-click Bybit execution; ATAS and Quantower are the Windows platforms with far longer exchange lists and live order entry across them.

If what you want is order flow from trades rather than from candles, Exocharts builds its footprints from tick data across many more crypto venues, and TensorCharts does the order-book heatmap for 18 USD a month. Bookmap is the heatmap at desktop depth; the three are compared in Bookmap vs ATAS vs Exocharts.

If free and open source is the requirement, aggr aggregates trade tapes from a dozen exchanges in a browser and can be self-hosted, with no footprint but with the raw tape.

And if order flow is not the point, TradingView has more crypto sources than everything above combined and free real-time crypto data, with bar replay and multi-chart layouts behind its paid plans and no footprint at any price.
