Fusion Markets TradingView: How to Connect, Costs and Limits

Fusion Markets is listed as a broker inside TradingView, so you can place and manage trades from the same charts you analyse on. The integration is free. You pay Fusion's normal trading costs and nothing extra for the connection, and TradingView's own free plan is enough to trade.

One point trips people up. You can't connect an existing MetaTrader account. Fusion requires a separate account with TradingView chosen as the platform, created in the Client Hub. That account is always a Zero account, with raw spreads and commission.

Create the Fusion TradingView account

1. Log in to the Client Hub, or register first if you are new.
2. Under Accounts, create a new Live Account.
3. Select TradingView as the trading platform and connect.
4. Wait for the email with your TradingView account credentials.
5. Fund the account from Payments in the Hub.

Already hold money in an MT4, MT5 or cTrader account? Use Payments, then Transfers, in the Hub to move funds across to the new TradingView account. Internal transfers save you a withdrawal and a fresh deposit.

Connect it inside TradingView

1. Open any chart in TradingView on the web, desktop app or mobile app.
2. Find the Trading Panel at the bottom of the chart and expand it.
3. Choose Fusion Markets from the broker list. Select See all brokers if it isn't shown.
4. Log in with the credentials Fusion emailed you.
5. Pick a symbol and use the buy and sell buttons on the chart.

Fusion's prices appear in real time whichever TradingView plan you have. Your order history sits in the History tab at the bottom of the screen, where you can filter by filled, cancelled or rejected orders.

Why cTrader emails you

TradingView doesn't execute trades itself. Fusion's integration routes orders through cTrader's backend, which is why the broker describes it as TradingView powered by cTrader. After you create the account you may get emails from cTrader, including login details.

Those cTrader details work if you want to open the same account in the cTrader app. To log in through TradingView, use the credentials that came from Fusion. Keep the two emails apart and you avoid a lot of failed logins.

What it costs

Commission follows the cTrader method, charged on notional volume in the base currency of the pair. One lot of EUR/USD costs 2.25 euros per side. The Fusion Markets Zero account guide has worked examples, including the adjustment for gold.

Paid TradingView plans add more indicators per chart, more alerts and extra layouts. None of that is needed to trade through Fusion. Start on the free plan and upgrade only when you hit a limit that gets in your way.

What TradingView can't do

• No Classic account. Spread-only pricing isn't offered on this platform.
• MetaTrader expert advisors don't run here. EAs use a different coding language.
• An existing MT4 or MT5 account can't be linked.
• Fusion+ copy trading is missing, since it is limited to MetaTrader.
• A narrower product list: forex, metals, indices, energy and soft commodities.

Prices on a TradingView chart can also differ slightly from another feed. Fusion's FAQ explains that CFD prices are over the counter, and each liquidity provider may quote from futures, spot or a blend. Make sure the chart shows Fusion's own symbol, so the price you analyse is the price you trade. For a look at the other three platforms, see our Fusion Markets platforms guide.

Pine Script and alerts

TradingView's scripting language, Pine Script, lets you write indicators and strategies. Thousands of public scripts are shared by other users. A strategy's backtest result is a model on past data, not a forecast, and community scripts vary widely in quality.

Alerts are the more practical tool for most people. Set one on a price level, an indicator value or a drawn line, and TradingView notifies you. That lets you wait for the market to come to your level instead of watching the screen and entering out of boredom.

Fixes for common problems

TradingView runs in Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, and has desktop apps for Windows, macOS and Linux as well as mobile apps. If something breaks on one, try another before assuming the account is at fault.

Is TradingView the right choice for you?

It fits manual traders who already do their analysis there. With the level drawn and the order placed on the same chart, you no longer copy prices between two programs, which is where typing errors creep in. Bracket orders with a stop and a target can be dragged on the chart, so you see the risk before you commit.

Traders who depend on MetaTrader expert advisors should stay where they are, or run both. Nothing stops you keeping an MT5 account for automation and a TradingView account for discretionary trades. Money moves between them in the Client Hub without a fee from Fusion.

Cost-sensitive beginners should note the pricing. Zero is the cheaper of Fusion's two accounts, so being limited to it is no hardship. You do need to remember the commission when you read your results, since the chart shows raw prices and the fee appears in the account history.

Security on a web platform

Your TradingView profile becomes a door to a funded account once a broker is connected. Turn on two-factor authentication in TradingView's own settings, use a different password from your Fusion login, and disconnect the broker session on shared computers. Withdrawals still happen only in Fusion's Client Hub and still need your authenticator code, so a compromised TradingView login can't send money out, but it could place trades.
