Risk warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. The majority of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. This page is general information, not financial advice.

Pepperstone is the best TradingView broker for UK traders, with native TradingView trading on a raw account at an FCA-regulated entity.

Every broker below holds FCA authorisation and carries FSCS cover up to £85,000 per eligible person.

Comparison table: UK TradingView brokers
Each broker holds FCA authorisation. TradingView’s free Basic tier works for live trading at the native-integration brokers; the higher tiers add charts and indicators. The integration column is the one to read first: native means you place and manage real trades inside TradingView, while embedded means the broker shows TradingView charts inside its own platform. The spreads below are advertised from-rates taken from each broker’s own site (accessed 10 July 2026), not figures we recorded on a live account, so confirm the live figure before trading.
| Broker | TradingView integration | EUR/USD spread (advertised) | GBP/USD spread (advertised) | Subscription | FCA FRN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 Pepperstone | Native, full account | From 0.0 pips + £2.25 per side (Razor) | From 0.0 pips + £2.25 per side (Razor) | Free Basic works | 684312 |
 OANDA | Native, full account | From 0.6 pips (indicative) | Not published | Free Basic works | 542574 |
 Eightcap | Native, dedicated account | From 1.0 pips, no commission | From 1.0 pips, no commission | Free Basic works | 921296 |
 Vantage | Native, Raw ECN account | From 0.0 pips + £1 per side | From 0.5 pips + £1 per side | Free Basic works | 590299 |
 Saxo | Supported, type not confirmed | From 0.7 pips (indicative) | Not published | Free Basic tier, confirm listing | 551422 |
 FXCM | Charting connection, execution not confirmed | From 0.2 pips (indicative) | Not published | Free Basic tier, confirm listing | 217689 |

 Capital.com | Embedded charts; also connectable | Dynamic, no advertised minimum | Dynamic, no advertised minimum | Not required (embedded) | 793714 |
Risk warning: CFDs are leveraged products and carry a high risk of loss. The majority of retail CFD accounts lose money. Review the broker’s Key Information Document before trading.
The cost figures on this page are a desk-based assessment of each broker’s advertised UK pricing rather than spreads we captured on a live account. Pepperstone’s Razor pricing is cross-checked against its live UK costs page; the rest are advertised starting rates from each broker’s own site, and every broker here is also assessed on demo and live accounts under our published process. Advertised from-rates and integration details come from each broker’s site and tradingview.com, last verified 10 July 2026. Brokers join and leave TradingView’s connectable list without notice, so confirm your broker is live on it before subscribing to a paid plan.
All eight brokers hold FCA authorisation under the Firm Reference Numbers shown. Whatever you do inside TradingView, your money, execution and protections sit with the broker: segregated client money, negative balance protection, FCA leverage caps of 30:1 on major currency pairs, FSCS cover up to £85,000 and Financial Ombudsman Service access.
1. Pepperstone: the deepest native integration
TradingView integration
Native, full account
EUR/USD spread
From 0.0 pips on Razor plus £2.25 per side
Platforms
TradingView, MT4, MT5, cTrader
Why it ranks first: the deepest native TradingView integration in this set, on a raw account that also runs MT4, MT5 and cTrader.
Why we recommend Pepperstone
Pepperstone Limited (FCA FRN 684312) pairs full native TradingView execution with raw Razor pricing, so the free Basic tier is enough to trade live on GBP-denominated commission. Razor advertises spreads from 0.0 pips on EUR/USD plus a fixed £2.25 per side, confirmed against its live UK costs page on 10 July 2026. If TradingView stops suiting you, the same account runs MT4, MT5 and cTrader.
Our UK review scored it 90 out of 100. Pepperstone publishes a retail loss figure of 72.9%, in line with the rest of this set, so raw pricing lowers the cost but not the risk.
Pros & cons
- Native execution on the free Basic tier
- Raw Razor pricing with GBP commission
- Four platforms on one account
- Raw pricing needs commission arithmetic
- Advertised from-rates, not recorded captures
- TradingView features beyond Basic cost extra
2. OANDA: native trading with an API behind it
TradingView integration
Native, full account
EUR/USD spread
From 0.6 pips (indicative)
Platforms
TradingView, MT4, MT5, proprietary
Why it ranks second: native TradingView execution backed by one of the deeper retail trading APIs.
Why we recommend OANDA
OANDA Europe Limited (FCA FRN 542574) supports live TradingView execution and backs it with one of the deeper retail APIs, so chart-based discretionary trading and coded automation can share one account. Spread-only pricing advertised from 0.6 pips keeps the cost model simple.
Our UK review scored it 88 out of 100. There is no separate commission line on the standard account, though the advertised spread sits wider than a raw-plus-commission model once you trade size on the majors.
Pros & cons
- Native execution inside TradingView
- Strong API for coded automation
- Simple spread-only pricing
- GBP/USD minimum spread not published
- Advertised spread wider than raw rivals on majors
- Advertised from-rates, not recorded captures
3. Eightcap: the dedicated TradingView account
TradingView integration
Native, dedicated account
EUR/USD spread
From 1.0 pips, no commission (advertised)
Platforms
TradingView, MT4, MT5
Why it ranks third: the only broker here with a dedicated TradingView account type.
Why we recommend Eightcap
Eightcap Group Ltd (FCA FRN 921296) runs the only dedicated TradingView account in this set, with EUR/USD and GBP/USD advertised from 1.0 pips and no commission (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026). One number is the whole cost, which suits traders who want TradingView without a separate commission line.
Our UK review scored it 72 out of 100. For high-frequency trading, a raw account plus commission can still work out cheaper, and MetaTrader accounts remain available if you move off the TradingView product.
Pros & cons
- Purpose-built TradingView account
- Commission-free advertised pricing
- Raw MetaTrader accounts available if you switch
- 1.0 pip all-in costs more than raw plus commission for high frequency
- Dedicated account narrows account-type choice
- Verify the FCA entity on the register before funding
4. Vantage: raw ECN pricing inside TradingView
TradingView integration
Native, Raw ECN account
EUR/USD spread
From 0.0 pips plus £1 per side (advertised)
Platforms
TradingView, MT4, MT5, proprietary
Why it ranks fourth: the lowest advertised commission of the eight, on a natively connected Raw ECN account.
Why we recommend Vantage
Vantage Global Prime LLP (FCA FRN 590299) connects its Raw ECN account to TradingView, advertised from 0.0 pips on EUR/USD plus £1 per lot per side, the lowest advertised commission of the eight. The same account runs MT4 and MT5.
Our UK review scored it 82 out of 100. GBP/USD is advertised from 0.5 pips, wider than the EUR/USD headline, so price the pair you actually trade before you rely on the from-rate.
Pros & cons
- Lowest advertised commission here at £1 per side
- Native execution inside TradingView
- MT4 and MT5 available on the same login
- GBP/USD advertised from 0.5 pips, wider than EUR/USD
- Advertised from-rates, not recorded captures
- Check current account terms before funding
5. Saxo: the widest multi-asset range
TradingView integration
Supported, type not confirmed
EUR/USD spread
From 0.7 pips (indicative)
Platforms
TradingView, SaxoTraderGO
Why it ranks fifth: the widest multi-asset range of any TradingView-connected broker on this page.
Why we recommend Saxo
Saxo Capital Markets UK Limited (FCA FRN 551422) brings the broadest single-account market range of any TradingView-connected broker here, spanning FX, indices, shares and bonds. We have not yet confirmed exactly how its TradingView integration routes orders for UK retail clients, so treat the connection type as unverified and check the current listing on TradingView before you rely on it.
Our UK review scored it 78 out of 100. Commission-based pricing tends to favour larger accounts, and EUR/USD is advertised from 0.7 pips.
Pros & cons
- Broadest single-account market range, spanning FX, indices, shares and bonds
- FCA-regulated with FSCS cover
- Professional-grade platform stack behind the charts
- TradingView integration type for UK clients not yet confirmed
- Commission-based pricing favours larger accounts
- Platform tiers can suit bigger balances
6. FXCM: TradingView charting beside Trading Station
TradingView integration
Charting connection, execution not confirmed
EUR/USD spread
From 0.2 pips (indicative)
Platforms
TradingView, MT4, Trading Station
Why it ranks sixth: a long-standing TradingView charting partner, running beside its own Trading Station.
Why we recommend FXCM
FXCM, trading as Stratos Markets Limited (FCA FRN 217689), offers TradingView charting alongside its own Trading Station platform. We have not confirmed whether UK retail clients place live orders inside TradingView or use it for charting only, so verify the execution route on TradingView before you subscribe. MT4 remains available too.
Our UK review scored it 75 out of 100. EUR/USD is advertised from 0.2 pips, and the review notes an inactivity fee worth factoring into the running cost.
Pros & cons
- Long history as a TradingView charting partner
- Trading Station and MT4 available alongside
- FCA-regulated with segregated client money
- Whether UK clients get live execution inside TradingView or charting only is not confirmed
- Review flags an inactivity fee
- Advertised from-rates, not recorded captures
7. Forex.com: a deep currency-pair range
TradingView integration
Supported, type not confirmed
EUR/USD spread
From 0.7 pips (indicative)
Platforms
TradingView, MT4, MT5, proprietary
Why it ranks seventh: one of the deeper currency-pair ranges in the UK set, with TradingView among its platforms.
Why we recommend Forex.com
Forex.com, operating as Gain Capital UK Limited (FCA FRN 113942), lists TradingView among its platforms alongside MT4, MT5 and its own software, with one of the deeper currency-pair ranges in the UK set. We have not confirmed how the TradingView integration routes orders for UK accounts, so check the current listing before relying on it.
Our UK review scored it 83 out of 100. Gain Capital UK Limited sits within the NASDAQ-listed StoneX group, the same parent group as City Index, so compare the pair before opening either account.
Pros & cons
- Deep currency-pair range
- MT4, MT5 and a proprietary platform alongside
- FCA-regulated within the NASDAQ-listed StoneX group
- TradingView integration type for UK accounts not yet confirmed
- Advertised from-rates, not recorded captures
- Shares its StoneX group parent with City Index, so compare the two
8. Capital.com: embedded charts, now connectable too
TradingView integration
Embedded charts; also connectable
EUR/USD spread
Dynamic, no advertised minimum
Platforms
TradingView, MT4, proprietary
Why it ranks eighth: two routes to TradingView charting, embedded in-app and now as a connectable broker.
Why we recommend Capital.com
Capital Com (UK) Limited (FCA FRN 793714) embeds TradingView charts inside its own platform and now also appears on TradingView as a connectable broker (tradingview.com, accessed 10 July 2026). Pricing is dynamic with no advertised minimum, so check the live spread before trading.
Our UK review scored it 85 out of 100. The embedded route needs no TradingView subscription, while the connectable-broker listing is recent, so confirm it is still live before you depend on it.
Pros & cons
- Two routes to TradingView charting
- No subscription needed for the embedded route
- Simple spread-only pricing model
- No advertised minimum spread to benchmark
- The connectable-broker listing is new and can change
- TradingView's social and screener layers sit outside the embedded route
9. City Index: TradingView on the longest UK record here
TradingView integration
Yes, alongside Web Trader and MT4
EUR/USD spread
1.4 pips tested, spread-only
Platforms
Web Trader, MT4, TradingView
Why it ranks ninth: TradingView charting attached to a broker that has traded through UK markets since 1983, which nothing else on this list can say.
Why we recommend City Index
City Index trades as a brand of StoneX Financial Ltd (FCA FRN 446717) and offers TradingView beside its own Web Trader and MT4 (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026). The draw is heritage rather than price: the firm has operated in the UK since 1983 and sits inside the NASDAQ-listed StoneX group. Our UK review scored it 78 out of 100.
Cost is the catch. Our July 2026 recording put EUR/USD at a modal 1.4 pips on the standard account, the widest in the FCA-regulated set we test, and there is no raw or commission account to switch to. TradingView here is a charting choice, not a cost one.
Pros & cons
- TradingView, Web Trader and MT4 on one FCA entity
- UK heritage to 1983 behind a NASDAQ-listed parent
- Dual CFD and spread-bet accounts
- Widest EUR/USD spread we tested, at 1.4 pips
- No raw or commission account
- No MT5 or cTrader
How TradingView native trading works
Native TradingView trading connects your broker account to the TradingView platform, so you place, modify and close trades from the chart while the broker routes the order and holds your money. You keep TradingView’s charting, alerts and indicators, and you trade on the broker’s spreads and FCA-regulated account. This is different from a broker embedding TradingView charts inside its own software, where you chart in TradingView but trade in the broker’s platform.
If you trade chart patterns, the markup happens on the same chart you execute from, so the analysis and the order ticket stay on one screen. That is the practical gain over running a separate charting site next to a broker platform.
TradingView Essential, Plus and Premium pricing
TradingView runs a free Basic tier and four paid tiers: Essential, Plus, Premium and Ultimate. Basic supports live trading at the native-integration brokers above, so a paid plan is optional rather than required. On TradingView’s own pricing page, UK visitors see Essential at £12.95 a month, Plus at £29.95, Premium at £59.95 and Ultimate at £199.95, each billed annually (tradingview.com/pricing, captured 10 July 2026). The paid tiers add more charts per layout, more indicators per chart, custom timeframes and, on the top tiers, one-second bars. TradingView sets and changes these prices on its own schedule, so check the current figure on the TradingView site before paying for a plan.
Connecting your broker to TradingView: setup steps
Connecting an FCA-regulated account to TradingView takes six steps.
- Open and fund the account with the FCA-regulated broker first, because TradingView cannot open one for you.
- On a TradingView chart, open the Trading Panel at the bottom and choose your broker from the connectable list.
- Log in with your broker credentials in the sign-in window, where the broker, not TradingView, authenticates you.
- Check the account badge shows the right account, live versus demo and raw versus standard, before placing anything.
- Place a minimum-size test trade and confirm it appears in the broker’s own platform too, since that round trip proves the connection.
- Set a separate alert for connection loss if you leave working orders, and manage positions from the broker’s own app if the link drops.
Where TradingView falls short
TradingView is charting first and a trading front-end second, and the seams show in a few places. There is no native automated execution: Pine Script strategies generate alerts, not orders, unless you wire up webhooks and third-party tooling. Depth of market depends entirely on the broker connection and is absent at several of them, so confirm it per broker if you rely on the order book. Order types are limited to what the integration passes through, which can be fewer than the broker’s own platform offers. And the free Basic tier caps the indicators and charts you can run at once, so heavy chartists end up paying the subscription on top of their trading costs. Confirm the current Basic-tier limits on TradingView before assuming a workflow fits.
TradingView vs MT4, MT5 and cTrader
The platform question usually comes down to what you automate and where you want the cost to sit.
| TradingView | MT4 | MT5 | cTrader | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best at | Charting and community scripts | Legacy EA library | Multi-asset and fast backtesting | Depth of market and raw execution |
| Automation | Pine Script alerts, no native execution | MQL4 expert advisors | MQL5 expert advisors | C# cBots |
| Cost to use | Free Basic tier; paid tiers £12.95 to £199.95 a month (captured 10 July 2026) | Free through the broker | Free through the broker | Free through the broker |
| UK broker support | 8 brokers on this page | Widest, see MT4 brokers | Narrower, see MT5 brokers | Narrow, see cTrader brokers |
If automation is the priority, MetaTrader or cTrader executes it natively; if analysis is the priority, TradingView’s charting is the strongest of the four.
TradingView is not a broker: who regulates what
TradingView is charting software. It is not authorised by the FCA and never holds your money. When you trade through it, the broker at the other end of the connection executes the order, holds your funds and owes you the UK retail protections: segregated client money, negative balance protection, the FCA leverage caps, FSCS compensation up to £85,000 per eligible person and Financial Ombudsman Service access.
The FCA leverage caps sit with that broker under PS19/18, and they apply whether you trade from TradingView or the broker’s own platform.
| Asset class | FCA retail leverage cap |
|---|---|
| Major currency pairs | 30:1 |
| Non-major pairs, gold and major indices | 20:1 |
| Other commodities and non-major indices | 10:1 |
| Government bonds from the UK, eurozone, US, Japan, Canada or Switzerland | 30:1 |
| Individual shares, and any asset not listed above | 5:1 |
The practical consequences are simple. Complaints about execution go to the broker, not TradingView; your TradingView subscription is a software purchase with no FSCS cover; and if TradingView removed a broker from its connectable list tomorrow, your account and money would be untouched at the broker. Check the broker’s Firm Reference Number on the FCA register before connecting.
