Very easy to use in my trading journey and customer service is efficient.

Love the low commission fees, Margin requirements.and the ability to connect to tradingview

Love to hear feedback like this! So glad you're enjoying.

Does not show the TP and SL money amount once a buy/sell has been executed in Tradinviews chart.

Hello and thank you for this feedback. I'll be sure to loop in our Development Team to take a look at it too.

Once you understand all the fees associated, Tradovate is a great platform for beginners as well as experienced traders. Combined with tradingview the sky's the limit!!

Hey, thanks for reviewing! Glad to hear you're enjoying the platform.

like everything but the brackets. if i have multiples and sell partial the bracket should update for the remaining contracts

Thank you for this feedback! I'll be sure to share your note with our Development Team. Glad to hear you're enjoying your experience!

Can trade futures. Time for deposit to show is 1 business day though, so not immediate like Pepperstone. Can't complain otherwise, trades go through and using it with TradingView makes it seamless.

Glad to hear you've enjoyed your experience overall! I will share your note with deposit timeframe with our team to review as well.

The stop loss function and integration with Tradingview is dismal at best. Please improve it. I've seen many other people asking for this with no response to it. Add my vote for this as well.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. I will be sure to pass your note along to our Development Team to review.

When partnering with Trading view, I can't get it to keep track of the trade that takes a profit/loss, after it processes, in trading view.

Sim on TradingView is weird. Moves entry when it shouldn't when stepping out of a trade.

Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)

- Find the right asset using our screeners and heatmaps. Explore the stock market with the Stock Screener, track cryptocurrencies on the Crypto Coins Heatmap, and more tools to find in the main menu
- Analyze price movements on our Supercharts. Utilize multiple drawing tools, built-in indicators, and advanced features to gain deeper market insights

A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.

It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.
Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
Commissions in trading are fees that brokers charge for executing trades on behalf of traders. These costs help brokers maintain their platforms, provide essential services, and ensure smooth access to financial markets.

Understanding commission structures is essential for traders, as fees can impact overall profitability. Choosing a broker with competitive rates and transparent pricing ensures cost-effective trading.
