MotiveWave review
MotiveWave is a charting and trading platform with order flow and Elliott Wave tools that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux and has a mobile app. It connects to dozens of brokers and data providers.
We read its editions and pricing page, its connections table and almost all of its Trustpilot reviews (163 of 169).
What it offers
- Order flow: advanced DOM, Market by Order and order flow studies (from the Order Flow edition).
- Elliott Wave: wave counting tools, from the EW Lite edition.
- Market replay and a trade copier between accounts.
- Phone and tablet app, with order flow included, which is unusual.
- Its own SDK for building studies and strategies.
Connecting your prop firm account
MotiveWave presents itself as neutral: it does not tie you to any broker. Its connections table includes Rithmic and CQG (through many futures brokers), Interactive Brokers, FOREX.com and several crypto exchanges. If your firm gives you a Rithmic or CQG account, you can connect it. Check your firm's terms to confirm it allows MotiveWave.
One user says they use its order flow pack with their Lucid Trading account.
Pricing
It is leased by the month or bought with a one-off payment. 6-month lease prices:
| Edition | Monthly | Charged |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $23 | $135 |
| Order Flow | $45 | $270 |
| EW Lite | $79 | $475 |
| Pro | $94 | $565 |
| Ultimate | $146 | $875 |
Source: MotiveWave pricing page, checked on 9 October 2026. There are also 1 and 3-month leases and purchase in one payment or four instalments. Taxes may apply by region.
For a prop firm trader who wants order flow, the edition to look at is Order Flow. Leases renew automatically and, while active, you always have the latest version and support. With a purchase, support and updates last one year; after that you pay separately.
There is a 14-day free trial of the Ultimate edition, no card required.
What users say
MotiveWave scores 4.3 out of 5 on Trustpilot, from 169 reviews. Three in four five-star reviews come from accounts with one or two reviews. Our review analysis above breaks it down.
- What people like: support, which many name, order flow and the mobile app.
- Freezes and lag at key moments, according to several 2026 reviews.
- Fake wicks on charts with some data providers.
- Version 7 shipped with bugs, and lifetime licence holders had to pay to upgrade.
Verdict
MotiveWave is one of the few order flow platforms that run on Mac and mobile, and it connects to Rithmic and CQG. But recent stability complaints are serious for a trader who depends on the open. Use the 14-day trial during market hours.
Who it is for: futures traders on Mac or who want order flow on mobile, and Elliott Wave users.
Who it is not for: scalpers who need maximum stability.
Alternatives
- Sierra Chart: more stable, on Windows.
- GoCharting: order flow in the browser and cheaper.
- NinjaTrader: free for analysis.
