Five levels of integration. From listing to automated webhook execution.
TradingView has over 100 million users. For brokers, integrating with TradingView means access to this audience as a client acquisition channel and offering clients the charting and trading interface they already use. But TradingView integration is not binary — there are multiple levels, each with different capabilities and requirements.
This guide explains each integration level, what it delivers, and how brokers implement it using TraderEvolution's native TradingView integration.
The broker appears in the TradingView broker directory. Users browsing tradingview.com can find the broker, connect their account, and trade directly from the TradingView web application. This is primarily a client acquisition channel — it puts the broker in front of TradingView's 100M+ user base.
Requirements: Implement TradingView's Broker API specification. TraderEvolution includes this implementation — the broker applies to TradingView's broker programme and provides the working API endpoint.
TradingView's advanced charting library is embedded natively inside the broker's own web platform. Clients get the full TradingView chart experience — 100+ indicators, drawing tools, multi-timeframe analysis — without leaving the broker's interface.
Requirements: TradingView Charts Library license. TraderEvolution's web platform includes the embedded charting integration.
The full TradingView interface — not just charts, but the complete trading environment — deployed as a standalone front-end option. Clients who prefer TradingView's UI can trade there, with all execution happening on the broker's TE back-end. The broker offers it as an alternative to their native web platform.
Any TradingView widget — market data tickers, economic calendars, screeners, heatmaps — can be pasted into the TE Back-Office configuration. The widget automatically deploys across all TE front-ends. No development work required.
This is the most powerful level. Pine Script alerts on TradingView trigger orders directly on the TE back-end. The webhook integration is native — no external relay service, no middleware, no third-party webhook connector. Orders execute with minimal latency across all asset classes the broker supports.
Unlike most broker webhook implementations that are limited to forex and CFDs, TraderEvolution's webhook integration works with exchange-traded equities, listed futures, and options. Traders can automate Pine Script strategies on real exchange-listed instruments.
The cost of integrating with TradingView is rarely a single line item. Brokers should plan for four distinct cost categories — some charged by TradingView, some by data vendors, and some absorbed as internal engineering effort.
1. TradingView programme costs. Application to the broker programme is free, but commercial terms for the integration are custom-quoted by TradingView based on broker size, distribution model, target regions, and which features are activated. TradingView keeps pricing confidential and quotes per partner.
2. Charting Library and Trading Platform licensing. The Charting Library is free for personal and non-commercial use; commercial deployment requires an enterprise licence. The Trading Platform library — which adds direct trade execution, order tickets, and account-management widgets on top of the chart — is a separate, paid licence. The Lightweight Charts library is open-source under Apache 2.0 and free for any use, but does not include trading components.
3. Market data licensing. Charting library licensing is separate from market data. Brokers must license real-time and historical data from each exchange or data vendor they want to display in TradingView — these costs are paid directly to the data source, not to TradingView.
4. Internal engineering cost. Implementing TradingView's Broker API and Datafeed API requires development work to map the broker's instrument model, sessions, order types, and account states into the format TradingView expects. With TraderEvolution, the Broker API implementation is included in the platform — eliminating this engineering category entirely.
TradingView maintains an official broker directory at tradingview.com, where it lists more than 100 trusted brokers that have completed integration and passed the partnership review. Appearing in this directory is a separate step from technical integration — the broker must apply to the TradingView broker programme and meet partnership criteria before public listing.
The directory is filterable by asset class (forex, CFDs, equities, futures, crypto), region, and regulatory status. Traders use it to find brokers that support TradingView trading in their jurisdiction. For brokers, the listing is an acquisition channel: TradingView reports more than 100 million users, many of whom shortlist brokers directly from the directory rather than starting on a generic search engine.
The directory does not use formal Bronze / Silver / Gold tiers, but visibility differs in practice:
Standard listing: the broker appears in the searchable directory, filterable by region and asset class.
Recommended for region: TradingView highlights selected brokers when a trader's locale matches the broker's regulated markets — typically tied to active client volume.
Featured / promoted: some integrated brokers receive additional placement on landing pages or in the broker selection panel — usually attached to commercial agreements with TradingView.
For brokers using TraderEvolution, the technical prerequisite — a working Broker API implementation — is delivered out of the box, leaving only the partnership application and commercial agreement to complete before going live in the directory.
TradingView's broker integration is a two-way real-time link between the broker's back-end and the TradingView interface. Three data streams run simultaneously over a single persistent connection.
Market data (broker → TradingView). The Datafeed API methods getQuotes, subscribeBars, and subscribeDepth push real-time quotes, candles, and order-book depth into the chart. Symbols are mapped from the broker's internal identifiers into the format TradingView expects on the way in.
Orders and trading actions (TradingView → broker). When a trader places an order from the chart, TradingView's Broker API calls into the broker's implementation — placeOrder, modifyOrder, cancelOrder. The broker's risk and execution engine processes the order exactly as it would for any other channel.
Executions and account state (broker → TradingView). As fills occur, the broker pushes execution updates back to TradingView via the executions() and positions() callbacks. The Watchlist, Order Ticket, and Depth of Market widgets reflect the new state in real time.
The connection is WebSocket-based. Reconnection, sequence tracking, and session reset are handled by the integration layer. TraderEvolution's Client API uses the same WebSocket + REST pattern for its native front-ends, which means the TradingView integration shares the same back-end paths — orders placed on TradingView and orders placed on the TE web platform run through identical risk, routing, and reporting pipelines.
