The TradingView platform offers news updates, community ideas, earnings calendars, and detailed information on individual stocks and securities across over 60 countries and regions. As such, it’s not surprising that some U.S. stockbrokers support integration with the TradingView platform. Here are the top three U.S. stockbrokers that offer TradingView, based on the overall broker ratings provided by our sister site, StockBrokers.com:

1. Interactive Brokers

Founded in 1977, Interactive Brokers is publicly traded (NASDAQ: IBKR) and regulated in six Tier-1 jurisdictions. Professional stock traders at Interactive Brokers can take advantage of industry-leading commission rates and the ability to trade in 135 international markets. Beginner and/or casual stock traders can access $0 stock and ETF trades through IBKR Lite.

2. TradeStation

TradeStation offers a desktop platform loaded with trading tools that will meet the needs of most active traders. Casual investors and beginners will likely gravitate toward TradeStation’s simpler web trading platform, which is well-designed, customizable, and easy to use. Fans of automated stock trading will appreciate that TradeStation offers a proprietary programming language, EasyLanguage, though this feature isn’t for beginners.

3. Ally Invest

Ally is a good stockbroker for beginners who want to bank and invest at the same firm, with instant money transfers between accounts and universal account access. That being said, the range of tools and features available to traders at Ally is limited. Pricing at Ally is competitive for stock traders, with a $0 minimum deposit and $0 stock, mutual fund, and ETF trades. There’s decent research available on the Ally Invest site, but Ally’s educational content is lackluster. Read the review of Ally Invest at our sister site, StockBrokers.com.

Yes, you’ll need a broker that supports TradingView integration if you want the ability to execute trades, track your orders, and/or manage your positions from within the TradingView platform. That said, if you are only using TradingView to conduct technical analysis, use charts, and/or discover trading ideas from the TradingView community, then you won’t necessarily need the platform to be connected to a broker.

In my view, however, it just makes more sense to have your TradingView platform connected and integrated with your forex broker. If you want to move quickly to take advantage of a trading opportunity, for example, having to switch platforms to a different (unsupported) broker can be an unnecessary impediment.

Connecting TradingView to your forex broker of choice is relatively simple. In order to do so, however, you’ll need to have a live trading account with a compatible broker that offers TradingView. To get started, just log into the TradingView web platform and open the chart view. Then, you simply navigate to the Trading Panel section and select your supported broker of choice (you’ll need an existing broker account login).

TradingView offers a free default version of the platform, as well as various paid versions that offer greater flexibility and a wider range of features. TradingView’s paid versions include Pro (which starts at 14.95 per month), Pro+ ($29.95 per month), and Premium ($59.95 per month). These upgraded plans deliver a host of benefits that aren’t available with the free version, such as a greater level of customization and an increase in the number of available indicators, charts, and saveable chart layouts.

Other perks include an ad-free experience, custom time intervals, and alerts that don’t expire. My personal feeling based on nearly a decade of experience with this software is that unless you are a hardcore TradingView user or a professional trader, the free version of the TradingView software should work just fine.

The best way to paper trade (practice trading without risking real money) on TradingView is to open a free demo account with a compatible broker that offers the TradingView platform. Once your demo account is set up, you can either log in to the broker’s version of the TradingView platform or connect to your broker directly through TradingView’s Trading Panel tab.

Demo accounts are a great tool that can help you learn more about how your broker’s trading platform works without risking any of your real trading funds. I’ve always recommended that beginner forex traders use demo (or, virtual) accounts to practice trading before moving on to a live forex trading account with a trusted forex broker.

TradingView can be an excellent platform for conducting technical analysis on forex pairs and for discovering technical trading opportunities shared within TradingView’s community. Originally, TradingView’s functionality was limited to its charting and community features, but it has since evolved to include the features and tools that you’d expect from a full-service trading platform. As a result, more forex traders gravitate towards using TradingView each year, and the number of forex brokers that support the TradingView platform continues to increase.

In this video, I give a high-level overview of the popular TradingView platform. I demonstrate how to seamlessly resize TradingView charts and how to search for instruments from a variety of brokers:

Several brokers post trading ideas or technical analysis from their in-house analysts within Trading View. As an example, Pepperstone posted the following chart depicting a banking ETF following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in the U.S.:

Saxo Bank is our pick for the best forex broker in 2023 that supports integration with TradingView. Traders at Saxo Bank can use their existing brokerage accounts and platform logins with the TradingView platform, granting them access to the same vast numbers of forex pairs, CFDs, stocks, and thousands of other symbols across Saxo Bank’s wide range of global markets. Saxo Bank also offers its own highly rated proprietary platform suite that earned the broker our top 2023 Annual Awards for Platforms & Tools and Mobile Trading Apps.

Yes, TradingView is free when you are using it with a compatible broker. That being said, the TradingView features available with your broker will almost certainly be limited to what is provided with the free version of the TradingView platform.

Yes, TradingView allows for backtesting indicator-based strategies using the platform’s Strategy Tester tab. This feature provides an overview of the backtest that displays a performance summary and a list of trades that demonstrate how the strategy would have performed on the chart’s time horizon. By default, there are 23 Strategies to choose from, and you can choose to create your own scripts or select scripts that have been shared by TradingView’s community.

While TradingView does support backtesting, I personally recommend using MetaTrader for backtesting – especially if you want to use historical data. MetaTrader 5’s Strategy Tester allows for highly complex backtesting with advanced settings and support for multi-threaded backtests in 64 bits.
