It's possible to trade on TradingView by purchasing a new Tradovate Trading Combine and enabling the (free) TradingView add-on. The TradingView add-on is available for all Tradovate users. Follow the steps in this article to get started with the add-on in Tradovate.
Please note: The TradingView Add-on is a feature made available to Tradovate users by TradingView. Topstep is unable to provide direct support to this feature in the event of latency or other issues seen in the TradingView platform while using this feature. Topstep recommends keeping Tradovate open in a separate browser tab while trading on TradingView. This allows you to quickly and easily manage your orders in case any issues arise with TradingView.
