They need to be at least 98% sure of what they enter as a trade, so they would need help determining the movement of prices and that's where TradingView comes in. TradingView makes it easy for people to get accurate prices of commodities through the use of the tools & indicators provided on the platform. So yes, TradingView **IS** very helpful to traders in determining prices or trends. ![A5tMjLhTTnj4UJ3Q17DFR9PmiB5HnomwsPZ1BrfGqKbjdeopH922TMtWieLT155635NRt7dVnyAqtrL9RGmZvUX29t21ncxTZCat7nrXd9ZC38fNr7KTxXmvt3EEW5...zTownnuAmDsoBvrDom4humfLJQk4M49fpLof2Vze8zg8MMTvaewKH1orgP1YGTYsPfGTDcLU77V7vc8bTtAUjyqNmT9kSCKY54YiBnCdcoFf7UByRsF4urxYva.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcSbrfmUNj9NzGG7kwrtzPr4Nj7HqZuXgv4T1gawUdeV3/A5tMjLhTTnj4UJ3Q17DFR9PmiB5HnomwsPZ1BrfGqKbjdeopH922TMtWieLT155635NRt7dVnyAqtrL9RGmZvUX29t21ncxTZCat7nrXd9ZC38fNr7KTxXmvt3EEW5...zTownnuAmDsoBvrDom4humfLJQk4M49fpLof2Vze8zg8MMTvaewKH1orgP1YGTYsPfGTDcLU77V7vc8bTtAUjyqNmT9kSCKY54YiBnCdcoFf7UByRsF4urxYva.png) #### Conclusion Every trader needs an assurance before entering any trade with his or her money.
