Getting this message when trying to seach and explore some indian NSE stocks - "This symbol is only available on TradingView."

[Greatz08]

I did explored the code and research a little bit on it. It seems like trading view + Finnhub combo has default limitations in their free tier api and because of which it wont render non us market stocks graph, right ? (i tested this from openstock-ods.vercel.app and didnt selfhosted to test)

If i am correct , then it would be great if you could mention this fact clearly , so that people who wish to explore different markets like NSE, LSE etc wont have to unnecessarily spend their time in understanding this default limitations.

Btw project looks great :-)). Unfortunately, Relying on external proprietary companies can impose default limitations on many users.

Hey! I'd like to work on this. I'll investigate the TradingView/Finnhub
limitations for NSE and other markets, then update the documentation
to clearly specify supported markets.

Hey @Greatz08! 👋

I've investigated this and created a PR #83 to address your concern.

🔍 What I Found

You're absolutely right! The project DOES support Indian NSE stocks (e.g., INFY.NS, TCS.NS). The issue isn't a bug—it's a free-tier limitation of TradingView's embedded widgets.

Here's what's happening:

1. Finnhub API supports NSE symbols perfectly fine
2. TradingView Widgets ⚠️ Free tier has restrictions on emerging market symbols

So when you search for INFY.NS, Finnhub finds it, but TradingView's chart widget can't display it because of free tier restrictions.

The Solution:

I've added comprehensive documentation (MARKET_SUPPORT.md) that explains:

• ✅ 30+ supported exchanges (including NSE!)
• ⚠️ Why "This symbol is only available on TradingView" appears
• 🔧 How to work around it (upgrade plans, self-hosting)
• 🚀 Future improvements we're planning

What You Can Still Do:

• ✅ Search and find NSE stocks
• ✅ View company profiles
• ✅ Add to watchlist
• ✅ See market news
• ❌ Interactive TradingView charts (requires paid tier)

Thanks for raising this—it helped us identify the need for clearer documentation!
