Guide to Trading Forex.com on TradingView: Troubleshooting and Step-by-Step Instructions
I have some concerns and questions regarding FOREXCOM.
I've successfully connected through my broker, but when attempting to trade, I receive a "Non-tradable symbol" error message.
Please ensure that you have chosen the correct symbol. If you want to trade Forex.com currency pairs, make sure to select Forex.com in the symbol search menu.
You can select the checkbox in the symbol search menu to display all available tradable symbols.
Getting Started with FOREX.com Trading on TradingView: How to Begin and Place Orders
To start trading on TradingView via FOREX.com, follow these steps:
• Sign in to TradingView with your account credentials.
• Navigate to www.tradingview.com/chart and access the Trading Panel.
• Choose FOREX.com as your broker and log in using either a live or demo account.
Important: Trading through FOREX.com on TradingView is available only for clients with ForexTrader accounts. While MT4 account holders can log in, they are unable to execute trades through TradingView. Similarly, MT4 accounts can access ForexTrader, but trading is not permitted via that platform.
If you haven't created an account with FOREX.com yet, you can sign up here: https://www.forex.com/en-us/open-an-account. Once logged in, you'll find four tabs: Positions, Orders, Account Summary, and Notifications log. The Orders tab is divided into multiple columns showing various order statuses for clarity. A gray line beneath each column highlights important information from the Account Summary.
In the top right corner of the trading panel, there is a menu that allows you to modify trading settings, disconnect, or choose a different broker. Your account ID and account currency are also shown in this area.
You can submit an order using various methods: via the Trading Panel, the Chart Context menu, the Chart “+” Sign menu, or the Buy/Sell options.
After opening the order ticket, you have the option to specify the Price, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels, either in pips or in price values. You can also determine the trade amount manually or based on a chosen risk/reward ratio. Additionally, you can set the duration for your order.
Why was my order executed or not executed, even though the chart's price reached or did not reach the order level? Forex.com charts are based on the Mid-price. Therefore, whether the chart hits the order level doesn't necessarily determine if the order should have been executed, as execution is strictly based on the Ask/Bid prices, which are always above or below the Mid. To verify the actual prices used for execution, check the current Ask and Bid prices in the order ticket or on the Buy/Sell buttons on the chart, as these reflect the data provided by the broker and are the prices at which orders are executed.
