# BotSpot vs TradingView: agent-led trading workflow or charts and Pine Script

BotSpot starts with an AI agent that can research, prepare an approved one-time trade, or build and operate a Lumibot strategy. TradingView starts with Supercharts, indicators, screeners, Pine Script strategies, alerts, and broker-connected chart trading.

## Different centers of gravity

TradingView centers the workflow on charts. Pine strategies simulate trades through a broker emulator, produce strategy reports, and can generate realtime alerts. TradingView also supports manual order entry through connected brokers.

BotSpot centers the workflow on an AI agent that can move from research to an approved one-time action or an inspectable Lumibot strategy.

## When TradingView may fit better

- Advanced interactive charts, indicators, drawings, screeners, and visual market monitoring are your main tools.
- You already author or use Pine Script indicators and strategies.
- You want chart-based manual trading through a TradingView-supported broker.

## Execution and backtest limits matter

TradingView distinguishes chart trading from Pine strategy simulation. Pine scripts cannot directly place exchange orders; external tooling can act on webhook alerts. Backtests on either platform remain simulations and cannot guarantee future performance.

## Who should use which

Use BotSpot when you want a conversational agent that can research, prepare an approved one-time trade, and build inspectable Lumibot strategies through currently supported brokers.

Use the other product on this page when its documented workflow is the job you need first: specialist charting, brokerage, no-code allocation, or research tooling rather than the full BotSpot workspace.

Backtests mentioned for either product are historical simulations. They are not live results and do not guarantee future performance. Include drawdown and date range whenever a number is shown.
