Third-Party Services & Licences
Last updated: September 14, 2026
CRTLAB is built on market data, open-source software and a small number of services run by other companies. This page lists each of them, what they do for CRTLAB, and the notices their licences require.
1. Market data — Databento
Historical market data shown in CRTLAB is sourced from Databento, Inc. and the trading venues it redistributes, and is used under Databento's terms and conditions and the terms of those venues. It is provided for backtesting and practice only: it is not a live or real-time feed, it may be delayed, adjusted or incomplete, and it must not be relied on for trading decisions.
You may view and replay the data inside CRTLAB. You may not scrape, download in bulk, export, resell or redistribute it, in whole or in part, or use it to build a competing data product. These restrictions come from our data licence as well as our Terms of Service.
2. Charts — TradingView Lightweight Charts™
The charts in CRTLAB are powered by TradingView Lightweight Charts™, an open-source charting library. Copyright © TradingView, Inc. Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0. TradingView is a charting platform and social network for traders; learn more at tradingview.com. CRTLABis not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by TradingView, Inc., and "TradingView" and "Lightweight Charts" are trademarks of TradingView, Inc.
The drawing tools are built on the lightweight-charts-line-tools plugins, licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. CRTLAB applies small modifications to some of those files; the modified source files are available on request at crtlab@proton.me.
