Research with TradingView, trade with CMC

TradingView is a trading research platform where you can view charts, analyze trends and interact with an online community. Additionally, you can connect your TradingView account to your CMC Markets account, enabling you to open, manage and close trades within TradingView. Third Party Terms apply.

It’s free to sign up to TradingView’s ‘Basic’ plan, which may be a good option for beginners. Paid plans that give active traders access to additional features start from $12.95 USD a month and come with the option of a free, 30-day trial.

TradingView assures its customers that its platform and apps are secure. Because they don’t process any payments themselves, they don’t store or even have access to your payment details, the company says on its website. When you trade with us through TradingView, you’ll handle payment processes such as funding and withdrawals on our trading platform, which is fully compliant with high security standards. Additionally, TradingView offers advice on how to protect your account, including tips on passwords and two-factor authentication to help make your TradingView account even more secure.

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 our web platform, go to ‘Settings’, select ‘Market Data’ and select the country (or group of countries) whose stocks or share baskets 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 trades on CFDs 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. Market data subscription fees may apply.

However, you will need to add funds to your live account to place a trade, and certain fees – such as overnight holding costs – may apply. Find out more about the costs of placing a trade.
