What can you trade with Equiti on TradingView?

Once your account is connected, you can trade a wide range of global markets through TradingView using your Equiti account. Depending on your account type and region, this includes forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs and crypto CFDs.

Trading multiple asset classes from one platform makes it easier to monitor different markets and respond to opportunities as they arise.

Whether you're carrying out detailed technical analysis or monitoring price movements, these tools can help you make more informed trading decisions.

Placing and managing trades in TradingView

With your Equiti account connected, you can place trades, monitor open positions and adjust stop-loss or take-profit levels directly from TradingView.

Managing analysis and execution from the same platform can help streamline your workflow and reduce the need to switch between multiple applications.

What to know before you connect

Before connecting your Equiti account to TradingView, it's worth making sure everything is set up correctly. Checking a few details in advance can help you complete the connection more smoothly.

Equiti account requirements and verification

You'll need an active Equiti Premier trading account before you can connect to TradingView. If you've recently registered, make sure you've completed any required identity verification and have access to your login details.

If you don't already have an account, you can sign up online and complete the verification process before connecting to TradingView.

TradingView integration is available for Premier Equiti accounts - however, availability may vary depending on your country, the Equiti entity you're registered with and your account type.

Setting up your TradingView account

You'll also need a TradingView account. If you don't already have one, you can create a free account on the TradingView website before connecting your Equiti account. Once you're signed in, open the Trading Panel, search for Equiti and follow the prompts to connect your trading account.

Some TradingView features depend on your subscription plan. While the free Basic plan includes the core charting and trading tools, additional features and market data may vary depending on the plan you choose.

How to connect Equiti to TradingView

Connecting your Equiti account to TradingView only takes a few minutes. Once connected, you can analyse the markets, place trades and manage your positions from the same platform.

Connect your Equiti account

Start by signing in to your TradingView account. Open a chart, select the Trading Panel at the bottom of the screen, then search for Equiti in the list of supported brokers.

Select Equiti and follow the prompts to sign in using your Equiti account details.

Authorise the connection

After signing in, you'll be asked to authorise the connection between your Equiti and TradingView accounts.

This secure authorisation allows TradingView to access your trading account so you can trade directly from the platform. Your login details remain protected throughout the process.

Check your account details

After the connection is complete, your Equiti account will appear in the Trading Panel.

Before placing your first trade, check that you've connected the correct account and that your account balance, available markets and trading permissions are displayed correctly. Once everything looks correct, you can begin analysing the markets and trading through TradingView.

How to place and manage trades in TradingView

Once your Equiti account is connected, you can place trades and manage your positions without leaving TradingView. Everything you need is available from the Trading Panel, helping you move from analysis to execution in just a few clicks.

Using the ticket and order types

To place a trade, select your chosen market and open the order ticket from the Trading Panel or directly from the chart.

Enter your trade size, choose whether you want to buy or sell and review your order before submitting it. Depending on the market and your account, you can choose from different order types, including market orders for immediate execution and pending orders that are triggered when the market reaches a specific price.

Once your order is placed, you'll receive confirmation and can monitor its status in real time.

Managing positions, stops and take-profits

After your trade is open, you can also manage it directly from TradingView.

You can update your stop loss and take profit levels, close your position or make changes as market conditions change. You can also adjust your orders directly on the chart, giving you a quick and visual way to manage risk.

Regularly reviewing your open positions can help you stay on top of market movements and react when opportunities arise.

Using the trading panel for portfolio management

The Trading Panel gives you a clear view of your trading activity in one place. You can monitor open positions, view pending orders, check your account balance and review your trading history without leaving the platform.

Having this information readily available makes it easier to keep track of your account while analysing the markets. Whether you're managing a single position or monitoring several trades, the Trading Panel helps you stay up to date without switching between different platforms or applications.

Costs, speed and security considerations

Before you start trading through TradingView, it's worth understanding how costs, execution and security work. Knowing what to expect can help you trade with greater confidence and avoid surprises along the way.

Spreads, commissions and other fees

When you trade through TradingView with your Equiti account, your trading conditions remain the same as if you were trading on another supported platform. Your spreads, commissions and any applicable overnight financing charges are determined by your Equiti account and the market you're trading, not by TradingView.

Before placing a trade, it's always a good idea to review the costs that may apply to your chosen instrument. This helps you understand the total cost of trading before you enter the market.

Execution speed and platform performance

Once your Equiti account is connected, orders placed through TradingView are sent to Equiti for execution.

Fast and reliable execution is important, especially during periods of higher market volatility. However, execution speed can also be affected by factors such as your internet connection, market conditions and the availability of liquidity. Keeping both your browser and TradingView up to date can help ensure the best possible experience.

Security best practises

Keeping your trading account secure is just as important as managing your trades.

Always use a strong, unique password for both your Equiti and TradingView accounts. If two-factor authentication (2FA) is available, enable it for an extra layer of protection. It's also good practice to sign out when using a shared device and never share your login details with anyone.

Taking a few simple security steps can help protect your account and give you peace of mind while you trade.

Common issues when connecting Equiti to TradingView

Most connection issues can be resolved with a few simple checks. If you're having trouble connecting your Equiti account or finding a market, the following tips may help.

Checking your account connection

If you're unable to connect your Equiti account, first confirm that you're using the correct login details and that your account is active and eligible to use TradingView. You'll also need to make sure you've selected Equiti from the list of supported brokers in the Trading Panel before signing in.

If the connection doesn't complete successfully, try signing out of TradingView, refreshing your browser or restarting the application before trying again.

Finding markets and symbols

Market names and symbols can vary between TradingView, brokers and data providers. If you can't find the market you're looking for, check that you've selected the correct symbol and that it's available for your account type and region.

In some cases, access to certain exchanges or market data may depend on your TradingView subscription or the permissions available on your trading account.

Using paper trading and live trading

TradingView includes both paper trading and live trading. Paper trading uses virtual funds, making it a useful way to practise using the platform or test trading ideas without risking real money.

When you're ready to trade live, make sure your Equiti account is connected and confirm that you're placing orders through your live account rather than your paper trading account.
