Key Requirements and Tips for Trading on TradingView

I’m interested in trading on TradingView. What are the key requirements? 

I'm unable to select my broker within the app. 

Currently, not all brokers are available on mobile apps and mobile web versions. Typically, brokers become accessible on mobile platforms sometime after their desktop release. Please stay updated for future releases. 

I want to practice trading without risking real money. How can I do that? 

You have two options: 

1. Paper Trading – designed for simulated trading on TradingView without real financial risk. To start, open a chart, then access the Trading Panel and select Paper Trading from the list of brokers.

2. Broker's Demo Account 

Most brokers compatible with TradingView offer demo accounts that can be used for trading practice. To get started, first create a demo account on the broker's website. Then, select your broker from the bottom Trading Panel on your chart and log in with your demo account credentials. 

The broker I want to trade with isn't supported. Can you add it? 

We are actively working on integrating additional brokers into TradingView. However, this process can take some time due to technical challenges and regulatory requirements. 

Moreover, we have introduced the REST API, which enables new brokers to connect to TradingView. If your preferred broker or crypto exchange isn't available yet, you can recommend they utilize this API to integrate with our platform. Contacting your broker or exchange and suggesting they connect via this API is often the most effective way to expedite the process. 

Which broker should I choose? 

Please be aware that we do not provide trading recommendations. The decision is entirely up to you. 

Is auto-trading supported? 

We are considering adding auto-trading features in the future, but we do not have an estimated timeline at this point.
