Capabilities differ by edition

Monthly and annual charges are separate billing options. Check current terms before purchase. Source: official pricing.

Paid license prices need a current quote. Support-extension fees shown on the page are not prices for a new software license. Trial first; the stated purchase policy is final sale.

Who MotiveWave suits

Consider for desktop analysis

Edition choices suit traders who need order flow or Elliott Wave tools alongside desktop charts.

Compare total setup cost

Paid features and data charges are separate decisions. Free charting alone will not provide the same live execution tools as paid editions.

What MotiveWave includes

The following capabilities are described on the linked vendor pages. Availability depends on plan and connection.

Community studies and replay: Community includes 280+ built-in studies, chart tools, Java SDK and replay mode.
Order Flow edition: Adds order flow studies, advanced depth of market and a trade copier to Standard capabilities.
Elliott Wave editions: EW Lite provides basic Elliott Wave tools. Ultimate adds advanced automatic analysis and an Elliott Wave scanner.
PRO strategy tools: PRO adds multiple broker connections, strategy automation, backtesting and pattern scanners.
Purchased-license updates: A purchased license includes one year of updates and support. Renewal is optional; an expired support term leaves access to the version then available.

Platforms and access

MotiveWave runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. The vendor lists 30+ broker/data providers but data is not included. A license may be installed on multiple computers but used on only one at a time.

Before connecting MotiveWave to a prop firm account

A supported connection does not establish permission to use it at a prop firm. Check account rules separately.

Match the edition. Do not assume free Community includes live trading, order flow or a copier. Check the edition matrix.
Budget for data. Confirm exchange subscriptions, historical depth and broker connection charges separately from the software.
Check automation rules. Before using the Order Flow copier or PRO strategies, confirm your firm permits them.
Start trial when ready. The 14-day trial starts at registration, not installation. Use it to check your data and broker connection.

MotiveWave questions

Does MotiveWave include market data?

No. The vendor says data is separate, with supported broker/feed connections and file-import options.

How long is the free trial?

Fourteen days from registration, normally on Ultimate, without a credit card. The key switches to Community afterward.

Can I use one license on two computers at once?

No. One license permits use on one computer at a time, though installation on multiple computers is allowed.

Are paid purchases refundable?

The edition FAQ states all sales are final and refunds are not available after purchase, apart from discretionary exceptions.
