Why your donation matters

ICC Charts is built and run by a small team. Plans pay for part of it, but not all of it. Donations are what keep the free tools free, the servers running and new features coming, even in months when few people buy a plan.

What it costs to run a trading terminal

A chart that looks simple on your screen sits on a lot of moving parts that cost money every single month, whether anyone pays for a plan or not:

• Servers. The engine that finds ICT setups, the chart data, alerts and the website run 24 hours a day on our own server, and every new user and every new chart needs more of it.
• Market data. Live prices come from broker terminals and data feeds. More markets and longer history mean more terminals, more memory and more storage.
• Messages and alerts. WhatsApp, Telegram and email alerts are sent through paid services, per message.
• AI assistant. The chart assistant can use AI models that are billed for every answer they write.
• Security and delivery. Domain names, encryption certificates, protection against attacks and the network that makes pages load fast around the world.
• Development. Most of the cost is people: hundreds of hours of research, coding, testing every ICT model against real data, fixing bugs and writing guides in 14 languages.

Why plans alone are not enough

Subscriptions are the main income, but they go up and down. Many traders use only the free tools, many are students, and in some countries a monthly plan is a lot of money. Some months new subscriptions are few, while the bills stay the same. We do not want to solve that by filling the terminal with ads, selling data or hiding basic tools behind a paywall.

Donations close that gap. They let us:

• keep a free tier with real ICT tools for people who cannot pay;
• keep prices low instead of raising them when costs grow;
• stay independent: no investors pushing us to sell signals, data or "get rich quick" products;
• keep the servers running during slow months, so nobody wakes up to a terminal that is offline.

Where the money goes

Things to know before you give

• A donation is a gift, not a purchase. It does not buy, extend or change a plan. To get plan features, choose a plan on the pricing page.
• It is not an investment and gives no share, return or profit of any kind.
• ICC Charts is not a registered charity, so donations are not tax deductible.
• Any amount helps, from the price of a coffee upwards. Please only give what you can comfortably spare.
• If you like, your name can appear as a supporter. Otherwise your donation stays private.

Other ways to help

• Tell a friend or your trading group about ICC Charts.
• Share your ideas in the community and report bugs you find.
• Choose a paid plan if the tools help your trading: that is the most direct support of all.
