## About
NextCandle

NextCandle is an independent directory and scorecard of TradingView and charting-platform indicators. It is made by NK2.
NextCandle is an NK2 site. See all NK2 properties at [nk2hq.com](https://nk2hq.com/).

## About NK2
NK2 is the independent team behind NextCandle and [WhichBot](https://whichbot.ai/). We record a source and date for every fact and publish our [scoring formula](https://nextcandle.trade/methodology/).

## How we test
- What we check today: price, refund policy, free tier, platform, source-code type and any performance claims, each from the vendor’s own public page, with the date checked.
- Account and charts: listings are checked on TradingView in a web browser. Repaint audits have two steps: reading open-source code for lookahead, other-timeframe requests and past-plotted pivots, then forward-watching signals on live bars. The code review is done for the four open-source scripts and shown on each page with line references; the live-bar step is still pending. Closed-source listings stay untested.
- Who reviews: the NK2 team. Every review page shows a Last reviewed date and what changed.
- Corrections: send them through the [contact form](https://nextcandle.trade/contact/). We check them against the source and update the page and its date.

## What we are not
We are not financial advisers, and we are not owned by or acting for TradingView or any vendor listed; we do earn affiliate commissions from some of them (see the disclosure).
