Cannot connect a broker for trading in TradingView

What is causing it

The broker is not linked, or trading through TradingView is not supported for your account.

Why this happens

Trading through TradingView is an integration that each broker has to build and maintain, so the list of brokers in the trading panel is not a list of brokers in general. Your broker may be excellent and simply not integrated. Where an integration exists, it is often limited to particular account types or particular regions, because the broker's regulatory permissions differ by jurisdiction and they can only offer the route where they are licensed to.

The credentials are also separate. The panel logs in to your broker directly, so it wants your broker account details rather than your TradingView password, and the two accounts stay independent. This is why the connection can fail with entirely correct TradingView credentials, and why a broker-side issue such as an unverified or restricted account blocks trading even after the panel connects.

The fix, step by step

1. Open the Trading Panel at the bottom and select your broker from the list.
2. Log in with your broker credentials in the panel, not your TradingView password.
3. Confirm your broker actually supports TradingView trading and your account is eligible.
4. If your broker is not listed, use their own platform and TradingView for charting only.

How to confirm it is fixed

Once connected, the trading panel should show your account balance and any open positions, matching what your broker's own platform shows. That match is the confirmation, because the panel can appear connected while showing a different or demo account. Placing a very small order and seeing it appear in both places is the definitive test.

Stopping it happening again

Confirm with your broker directly whether they support TradingView trading for your specific account type and country before relying on it, as this is broker-specific and changes over time. Keep your broker's own platform available as a fallback, since an integration outage leaves you unable to manage positions from TradingView.
