CONTEXT

Why investors look for a simpler option

TradingView is excellent for active charting, but many everyday investors do not want to build custom indicators, manage dozens of alerts or watch charts every day. They just want to know when something important is happening with the stocks they hold or follow — without learning a new platform or spending time on setup.

THE VERDICT

They are built for different investors

GeckoPro is not a charting platform and is not trying to be. It is a monitoring layer that sits above your existing broker and tells you when something worth paying attention to happens — without requiring chart setup, custom indicators or screen time. If you already use TradingView and enjoy it, GeckoPro works alongside it. GeckoPro will not help you day-trade or build custom indicators — it is designed for investors who want fewer, more relevant alerts on stocks they already hold.

Is GeckoPro a replacement for TradingView?

No. TradingView and GeckoPro solve different problems. TradingView is powerful charting and technical analysis software built for active traders. GeckoPro is a portfolio monitoring and alert layer for NZ and AU investors who want to know when something matters without building charts or watching screens all day.

Does GeckoPro give buy or sell recommendations?

No. GeckoPro does not give buy or sell recommendations and is not financial advice. GeckoPro monitors stocks you hold or follow and sends plain English alerts when volume, momentum or price conditions change. What you do with that information is up to you.

Does GeckoPro support NZX and ASX stocks?

Yes. GeckoPro monitors NZX, ASX and US stocks. It is built specifically for NZ and AU investors and supports local market hours, NZD and AUD display, and brokers including Sharesies and Hatch.

Can I use GeckoPro with Sharesies?

How often does GeckoPro monitor stocks?

GeckoPro scans your watchlist every 5 minutes during market hours for NZX, ASX and US markets. Alerts are sent when a signal condition is met for a stock you hold or follow.

Is GeckoPro financial advice?

No. GeckoPro is general information only and is not personalised financial advice. GeckoPro monitors market conditions and sends alerts based on technical and volume indicators. It does not recommend buying or selling any security.

Do I need to understand charts to use GeckoPro?

No. GeckoPro is designed for investors who do not want to build charts or manage technical indicators. You add the stocks you hold or watch, and GeckoPro monitors them and tells you in plain English when something worth paying attention to happens.
