How to Trade on TradingView Mobile

When you buy something through one of the links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

TradingView is a fantastic platform for charting and trading.

…and yes, you can trade on the TradingView mobile app. 

However, it can be a little confusing to figure out how to enter a trade on the mobile app.

It took me some time to figure it out, so I want to save you the headache and give you the answer right now.

The great thing about the mobile version of TradingView is that it is almost the same as the desktop version.

That means you have access to the same features that you get on your desktop computer.

Alright, here’s how to place your first trade.

?

If you prefer the text version, it’s provided below.

Download the App

First download the app from you favorite app store. It’s available for both Android and iOS.

Then login to the app and purchase a paid plan.

Technically, you can trade on the free plan, at the time that this is being written.

But you don’t get priority support and you’ll always see ads on your charts.

If you’re serious about trading, then you want the fastest support possible and ads will distract you from trading. 

So I feel that a paid account is mandatory.

Login to Your Broker

If you want to try this, you can create a demo account in TradingView.

Otherwise, if you have a broker that works with TradingView, follow these steps.

Once you’re logged in, go to:

1. Menu in upper left corner (3 lines)
2. Products
3. Supercharts
4. Icon in upper left corner
5. Connect to Broker

Select your broker, then login.

You’re now ready to trade.

Place Your First Trade

When you go back to your charts, there will now be buttons on the chart that allow you to place buy and sell trades.

Tap the button for the trade that you want to make.

The order entry screen will pop up and you can enter a trade. 

Be sure to scroll down a bit to make sure that you’ve entered all of the important information for your trade. 

You should also see information about the trade like margin used, trade value and more. 

The information you see and the options you have will depend a lot on your broker and the version of TradingView you’re using. 

So use the screenshot below as more of a guideline and contact TradingView support if you have any questions. 

Once everything looks good, tap the Buy or Sell button at the bottom of the screen. 

You have now placed your first trade.

Final Tips

Remember that technology can change quickly.

I will do my best to update this tutorial periodically, but the way TradingView mobile works can change over time.

However, I have found that the basic idea is usually the same with newer versions, just the position of the buttons change.

But TradingView is the best charting and trading platform for so many reasons that I go over here.

The most useful feature is that you get the same charts on your mobile and desktop.

Have fun!
