TradingView is a comprehensive trading platform that provides real-time data, customizable charts, and technical analysis tools with an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing traders to precisely track financial instruments with an extensive library of indicators and drawing tools.
TradingView also doubles as a dynamic social network, where users can share trading ideas, strategies, and market outlooks through public posts.
By connecting your CMC Markets account to TradingView, you can trade with CMC Markets’ tight spreads using TradingView’s charts and analysis tools.
To open an account with CMC Markets, click create account, then enter your email and create a secure password.
You'll then be asked to choose between two platforms: our web-based platform, NGEN, or MT4. Please note that TradingView integration is only available on our web-based platform. When you select the NGEN platform, you'll be further prompted to choose between a Standard Account or an FX-Active Account for seamless integration with TradingView. Here's a comparison of these account types:
Once you’ve chosen an account type, you'll be guided through the application process, which may require entering personal details and submitting supporting documents. Once your application is approved, you'll receive an email notification.
To gain access, confirm your registered email address by clicking the verification link included in the welcome email.
To trade CFDs on shares with us through TradingView, you may need to activate a market data subscription in our trading platform.
To do this, log in to your live account on our web platform, go to ‘Settings’, select ‘Market Data’ and select the country (or group of countries) whose stocks you’d like to trade. A text box will then pop up. Read the on-screen information and click ‘Activate’, click ‘Yes’ if you agree to the subscription terms and conditions, and click ‘OK’ to close the pop-up. You should now see a green tick next to the country that you selected.
If you don’t open any CFD trades on shares from the country you selected, you will need to reactivate your market data subscription each month in order to see share price data in TradingView. Many market data subscriptions are free, but in some cases a fee may apply.
You can download the TradingView app on your smartphone or desktop computer.
The desktop application is available for download on Windows, Mac and Linux. You can download it here.
TradingView's mobile applications are available on the App Store or Google Play Store. Ensure that your device is up to date and your operating system is supported. You can download them here.
TradingView doesn’t provide direct access to financial markets, so you’ll have to connect your CMC Markets account to make trades.
To do this, head to the chart of any stock or financial instrument, select Trading Panel in the bottom navigation bar and then choose CMC Markets from the list of trusted brokers.
A pop-up window will load, prompting you to enter your CMC Markets login details. Click Connect, Authorize, and wait for your two accounts to be connected.
Before you begin trading with TradingView, explore and familiarize yourself with the features on offer to make the most of your experience on the platform.
To view a chart for a particular financial instrument, select Products from the top navigation bar and then select Supercharts. Search for the ticker, company name or symbol of the financial instrument you want to track.
Within your selected chart, you can set up alerts by selecting the alarm clock icon. Choose to be notified of changes in price or volume and set a range of other variables. For example, you might want to receive alerts when a stock or other instrument rises to or falls below a certain price. You can also choose whether the alert is triggered the first time your criteria are met or every time.
You can also create alerts based on objects you’ve drawn, such as trend lines. When the price interacts with the line, the alert will be triggered.
TradingView offers a selection of drawing tools for you to annotate your charts, make notes, leave comments, mark trends and patterns – such as a head and shoulders pattern – and predict price movements using Gann and Fibonacci tools.
The tools are in the left panel of a chart. You can add drawing tools to your favourites by selecting the star next to a tool’s name or icon.
TradingView offers several indicators to analyze trading statistics, gauge supply and demand, and identify potential spot entry and exit points.
Read about the seven best TradingView indicators and how to use them in your trading strategy.
In the top-left corner of the screen, you’ll see a red ‘SELL’ button and a blue ‘BUY’ button, with the respective price. Select one, and the order ticket panel will appear on the right.
Before you place a trade, decide whether you want to trade through a market order, limit order or stop order. Depending on the order type you choose, more fields will be displayed. Once you’re happy with the order ticket, select ‘Sell’ or ‘Buy’ to execute your trade.
