How can I trade on TradingView with Pepperstone?

Although there are many important things to consider in terms of trading, the platform is one of the top priorities. In fact, it is very important for you to choose the right trading platform to assist yourself. The main reason is that each trading platform has different features. Names like MT4 and MT5 are obviously the most popular choices, but did you know that there is also a well-known platform called TradingView?

Most people know TradingView as an independent charting platform for analysis and sharing ideas between traders. Compared to MetaTrader platforms, TradingView has more tools, strategies and a user-friendly interface. Unfortunately, not many people know that TradingView can also be used to execute real orders.

However, not many brokers offer access to real trading through TradingView. They much prefer to offer MetaTrader when it comes to executing traders' orders. To meet this need, Pepperstone becomes one of the few forex brokers to be integrated with TradingView. Before we learn how to use TradingView on Pepperstone, let's dive into this trading platform first.
