Best Brokers for TradingView 2026: A Guide for US Traders

TradingView is where I do my chart work, and Interactive Brokers is where my account is. I place my orders in IBKR’s own platform, Trader Workstation, not from the TradingView chart. Many traders want both in one window, and that is what a TradingView broker is for: you analyze on the chart and send the order from the same screen.

The German version of this article compares CFD brokers for European traders. Most of them do not accept US retail clients, and CFDs are generally not available to US retail traders. So this is our own version for US readers: the brokers on TradingView’s list that serve US traders, sorted by what you want to trade, and the eight points I would check before connecting any of them.

One thing up front: apart from Interactive Brokers, which I use as my broker, we have not tested these brokers. Their sections are based on the brokers’ own information and on TradingView’s help pages, and each one says so.

TradingView brokers in 30 seconds

• TradingView is not a broker. It does not execute orders or hold your money. To trade from the chart, you connect an account at a supported broker.
• Stocks and options: Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, Webull, Moomoo, tastytrade, Alpaca and, since September 2026, Fidelity can be connected. What you can trade through TradingView differs from broker to broker.
• Futures: Tradovate, NinjaTrader and AMP Futures are futures specialists. Tradovate and NinjaTrader include TradingView with a funded account.
• Forex: OANDA and FOREX.com connect their US accounts.
• Not on the list as of September 25, 2026: Charles Schwab (thinkorswim), Robinhood and E*TRADE.
• No broker needed to practice: TradingView’s paper trading is free.

What do you want to trade from the TradingView chart?

• Stocks, options, futures, forex and crypto from one account→Interactive Brokers
• Stocks, ETFs and options→TradeStation, Webull, Moomoo, tastytrade, Alpaca, Fidelity
• Futures only→Tradovate, NinjaTrader, AMP Futures
• Forex→OANDA, FOREX.com
• My account is at Schwab, Robinhood or E*TRADE→Not connected to TradingView
• Only practicing, no real money yet→No broker: free paper trading

What each broker lets you trade through TradingView differs; the table below has the details. Apart from Interactive Brokers, my own broker, we have not tested these brokers, and we have not tested any of the TradingView connections.

What is a TradingView broker?

A TradingView broker is a broker whose account you can connect to TradingView, so that you place, change and close orders directly from the chart. TradingView itself is not a broker: it does not execute orders and does not hold client money.

1. TradingViewChartYou analyze and plan entry, stop-loss and take profit. The chart can run on TradingView's own data feed.
2. TradingViewOrder panelYou send the order from the chart. The panel shows your broker's prices, which can differ from the chart.
3. Your brokerBrokerChecks and executes the order and holds your money. TradingView does neither.
4. Exchange or dealerMarketThe trade is filled: on an exchange or other trading venue, or, as with forex brokers such as OANDA, at the broker's own prices.

A dark line marks each hand-over; the first one is where TradingView's part ends. With paper trading, TradingView simulates the fill, and no order reaches a broker or the market.

In practice there are four kinds of connection, and they are not equally useful:

• Fully integrated brokers: you place entry, stop-loss and take-profit on the chart, drag them to new levels and close the position there. TradingView works as the front end of your broker account.
• Charts only: some brokers build TradingView charts into their own platform, but you trade in the broker’s software. Strictly speaking, this is not a TradingView broker.
• Crypto exchanges: orders go from TradingView to the exchange through an interface. How well they are filled depends on the exchange more than on TradingView.
• Paper trading: TradingView’s practice account. It is not a broker, because no real order reaches the market. It is good for testing a strategy, not for judging real fills.

Do you need a broker for TradingView?

Not for charts, alerts or practice. According to TradingView, paper trading is free for every user, needs no deposit and uses no real money. You need a broker only when you want to send real orders from the chart.

TradingView says it plainly on its own trading page: “We are not a broker.” The company earns its money from subscriptions and ads. Your money stays with the broker, and the broker executes your orders.

A paid TradingView plan is not always required for trading. AMP Futures and FOREX.com, for example, state that the free Basic plan is enough to connect. The limits of the free plan, such as fewer indicators per chart, still apply. What each plan includes is in our TradingView review with all prices.

Sources: the brokers’ own websites and help pages, TradingView’s help center and blog, checked on September 25, 2026. We checked from Germany, where some TradingView broker profiles show the European version of a broker. Availability can depend on your state and account type.

Interactive Brokers: my broker

My own account is at Interactive Brokers. I do my chart work in TradingView and place my orders in Trader Workstation. So I know the broker well, but I have not tested its TradingView connection myself. What follows comes from IBKR’s documentation and TradingView’s help pages. My full view of the broker is in our Interactive Brokers review.

According to IBKR, you can trade stocks, US stock and index options, futures, forex and crypto through TradingView. Bonds, futures options, warrants and options outside the US are not available. IBKR’s own landing page mentions bonds, but its technical documentation excludes them; the documentation is the more specific source.

Two requirements are easy to miss:

• Market data: the order panel shows prices from IBKR, not from TradingView. Data packages bought on TradingView do not cover them. IBKR market data requires at least $500 in the account plus the cost of the subscriptions. If you already pay IBKR for data, you do not pay for it again on TradingView.
• Account: an open account with at least $1 is enough to connect. You also need a trading permission for each product type.

Two limits are worth knowing. Pine Script cannot place trades with Interactive Brokers, so automated strategies from TradingView do not run there. And take profit and stop-loss can only be added while the order is still open.

On costs, IBKR Lite charges no commission on US stocks and ETFs; US options cost $0.65 per contract.

Brokers for stocks and options

These brokers are not tested by us. The information comes from their own pages and TradingView’s announcements.

TradeStation connects stocks, futures and options. Options can be traded single-leg from the chart; multi-leg strategies are not supported. Stocks and options run through the equities account, futures through a separate futures account. At the time of checking, TradeStation offered new clients who deposit at least $5,000 a credit of $50 a month for five months, meant to cover a TradingView plan.

Webull calls the connection free for its clients, with no minimum deposit and only its standard fees. When Webull joined in February 2024, TradingView named stocks, depository receipts, ETFs and OTC trading. Whether options can be traded through TradingView by now, we could not confirm from a primary source.

Moomoo connects stocks and ETFs, and since November 2025 also options, according to TradingView. The connection is free; standard fees apply.

tastytrade joined TradingView in December 2024 with stock and futures trading. Whether options are available through TradingView today, we could not confirm.

Alpaca connects US stocks, ETFs, options and crypto, including multi-leg options such as spreads and iron condors.

Fidelity has been on TradingView since September 10, 2026. Eligible accounts can trade stocks and ETFs from the chart.

Brokers for futures

Tradovate and NinjaTrader belong to the same company and work the same way. According to their support pages, updated in July and September 2026, clients with a funded account get TradingView and Level 1 data for CME Group and Eurex included. On older account plans, a TradingView add-on costs $9.99 a month. NinjaTrader’s own TradingView page still names the $9.99 as the price; the newer support article says it is included. Check which applies to your plan. With Tradovate, stop-loss and take profit cannot be added once an order is placed.

AMP Futures charges no monthly connection fee, and the free TradingView plan is enough. You do need a CQG data subscription with AMP: for non-professionals, CME Level 1 costs $5 a month, all CME markets $15 (prices from June 1, 2026). The minimum deposit is $100.

For futures, the chart and the order panel can show different data. TradingView’s own CME data package and your broker’s data are separate. Before trading, check which feed your chart uses.

Brokers for forex

OANDA connects its US accounts to TradingView for free; standard fees apply. The chart then uses OANDA’s own prices. For US clients, TradingView’s help page names forex only. OANDA’s US guide also mentions spot crypto, so check this in your account.

FOREX.com connects its US accounts, and the free TradingView plan is enough. For clients with VIP status, FOREX.com covers the cost of an Essential, Plus or Premium plan. A MetaTrader account cannot be used to log in.

For crypto, Coinbase Advanced offers spot and futures trading from TradingView. We could not confirm from a primary source whether this is open to all US residents.

Brokers that are not on TradingView

Charles Schwab (with thinkorswim), Robinhood and E*TRADE have no broker profile on TradingView, and we found no announcement of a connection (as of September 25, 2026). Schwab clients can use thinkorswim instead; more on it in our comparison of TradingView alternatives. TradingView says it keeps adding brokers, so check the broker list if yours is missing.

8 things to check before you connect a broker

If you are looking for a broker with a TradingView connection, keep these eight points in mind. The list comes from the German version of this article; the first point is adapted to US rules.

1. Regulation and protection of your money

Trust comes before the first trade. In the US, a stock and options broker should be registered with the SEC and be a member of FINRA and SIPC. A futures or forex broker should be registered with the CFTC and be a member of the NFA. You can look up any firm yourself on FINRA BrokerCheck and NFA BASIC.

2. Markets

Not every broker offers every market through TradingView, and the list is often shorter than what the broker offers in its own platform. Check whether the stocks, options, futures, forex or crypto you want to trade are really available from the TradingView chart.

3. Speed of execution

For intraday trading and scalping, it matters how quickly an order goes through after the click. Test this with small positions before you trade larger ones.

4. Chart prices and fill prices

The chart should show the prices at which your orders are filled. That is not automatic: the chart can use a data feed from TradingView or from your broker, and the two can differ, especially for futures and forex. Before you deposit more money, compare the chart with your fills. Differences lead to wrong levels and risk you did not plan for.

5. Trading from the chart

Everything starts on the chart. You should be able to place trades directly from TradingView, without switching to another platform. Lines, zones and indicators should work together with the order ticket, so that your analysis turns into a clean trade.

6. Order types

Not every broker supports every order type on TradingView. Check first whether the orders you need, such as limit, stop, stop-limit, bracket orders with stop-loss and take-profit, or trailing stops, are available from the chart. Missing order types can limit how you trade.

7. Managing positions on the chart

Open trades belong on the chart. You should be able to move stops and targets with the mouse, without opening menus. With a fully integrated broker this usually works.

8. Account information

Your broker connection should show your balance, margin and open risk. Seeing this on the chart helps you make decisions in the context of your capital.

Which broker gives you TradingView for free?

Some brokers cover the TradingView plan or part of it. According to their own pages on September 25, 2026:

• Tradovate and NinjaTrader: TradingView included with a funded account on current plans.
• FOREX.com: pays an Essential, Plus or Premium plan for VIP clients.
• TradeStation: $50 a month for five months for new clients who deposit at least $5,000.

Offers like these change often. Read the conditions before you open an account for the sake of a free plan; the broker’s costs matter more over time than a subscription.

Conclusion: which broker fits you

There is no single best TradingView broker. The right one depends on what you trade. For many markets from one account, Interactive Brokers covers the widest range, at the price of separate market data. For stocks without commission, look at Webull, Moomoo, Fidelity or Alpaca. For futures, Tradovate, NinjaTrader and AMP are built for it. For forex, OANDA and FOREX.com.

My advice: first write down which markets and order types you need. Then check on the broker’s own page that exactly these are available through TradingView, not just in the broker’s own platform. And test the connection with paper trading or small positions before you trade real size.

Frequently asked questions about TradingView brokers

Which brokers work with TradingView?

TradingView lists more than 100 connected brokers worldwide. For US traders, these include Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, Webull, Moomoo, tastytrade, Alpaca and Fidelity for stocks, Tradovate, NinjaTrader and AMP Futures for futures, and OANDA and FOREX.com for forex. Which ones you can use depends on your country and account.

Does TradingView have its own broker?

No. TradingView says on its trading page: “We are not a broker.” It does not process trades and does not hold client money. It works as the interface; the connected broker executes your orders.

Is Charles Schwab a broker on TradingView?

No. As of September 25, 2026, Schwab has no broker profile on TradingView and no connection was announced. Schwab clients can use thinkorswim, Schwab’s own platform.

Can I trade directly on the chart?

Yes, if your broker is fully connected. You then place orders from lines and levels on the chart and move stop-loss and take profit with the mouse, as long as the broker supports these order brackets.

Are all order types available?

That depends on the broker. Some support only basic orders, others bracket orders, trailing stops or options from the chart. Check the broker’s help page for TradingView before you open an account.

Do chart prices and fill prices differ?

They can. The order panel uses your broker’s data, while the chart may use a different data feed. Compare both before you trade, especially for futures and forex.

Can I trade futures directly on TradingView?

Yes, with a futures broker such as Tradovate, NinjaTrader or AMP Futures, or with Interactive Brokers, TradeStation or tastytrade. You need real-time data for the exchange, usually from your broker.

Does regulation matter?

Yes. A regulated broker keeps client money separate and follows clear rules. In the US, check a stock broker on FINRA BrokerCheck and a futures or forex broker on NFA BASIC.
