TradingView: Frequently Asked Questions

What securities are supported on TradingView?

The current integration between Interactive Brokers and TradingView only supports Stocks, Futures, and Leveraged Forex trading.

Can I subscribe to TradingView Data? Should I subscribe to Interactive Brokers market data?

Users are welcome to subscribe to any resource for their market data needs. Interactive Brokers does not require users to use IBKR-provided data.

That being said, Interactive Brokers is required to warn customers about potentially trading with delayed. As such, if customers are trading without IBKR resources, we will warn users on each trade about the dangers of trading without data given we do not have a guarantee that the customer is making an informed decision. See Understanding TradingView and Delayed Data for more information.

What is a “Non-tradable symbol”?

Non-tradable symbols are contracts offered by TradingView that may not be supported by Interactive Brokers. This is most commonly seen from trading security types not supported in our integration, such as Options or Cryptocurrencies. See Non-tradable Symbols In TradingView

Why can’t I add a Take Profit or Stop loss to my order in TradingView?

Interactive Brokers only allows orders to be bracketed so long as the order is still open and has not been executed. Once an order has executed, no modifications or brackets can be added to an order.

Child orders can be added to open orders on the TradingView “Trade” window, or by selecting the “TP” or “SL” icons beside your order in the chart.

Why can’t I login TradingView with my IBKR Paper Account?

You may forget your IBKR Paper Account Username/ Password.

Or, you haven’t reset your IBKR Paper Account Password.
Please login IB Client Portal with your live account.
Then, go to “Settings” – “Paper Trading Account” to find your Paper Trading Username and reset Password.

Note:

• Despite you may successfully login to IBKR platforms (e.g. IBKR Mobile/TWS/IB Client Portal) with paper account, it is necessary to reset IBKR Paper Account Password in order to connect Paper Account to Trading View.

Why can’t I login IBKR Live Account due to “Unexpected Error”?

Logging into the IB Live account requires Two Factor Authentication. You may forget to activate IBKEY Authentication.
