# Connect TradingView

If you're interested in using **TradingView** as a trading terminal and replicating trades to **cTrader, MetaTrader 4/5, TradeLocker, and DXtrade**, please follow this guide.

## Requirements

To follow this guide, you need:

* A [TradingView account](https://www.tradingview.com/pricing/?share_your_love=costigator) (the free version is also supported)
* A cTrader account which can be connected to TradingView, such as [IC Markets](https://www.icmarkets.com/global/de/open-trading-account/live?camp=69605), Pepperstone, or BlackBull (a demo account is also fine). Other brokers may also be compatible, but they have not been tested.
* A [MetaCopier.io account](https://metacopier.io/)

{% hint style="info" %}
Some solutions on the market let you use the TradingView Alert/Webhook feature, but they have limitations. To send a good number of alerts/webhooks without reconfiguring everything each time, you need a TradingView premium plan, which costs around $600 per year. That’s why we recommend using the solution in this guide because it doesn’t cost extra.
{% endhint %}

## Sign in to TradingView

To get started, you first need to log in to TradingView. If you don't have an account, you'll need to [create one](https://www.tradingview.com/pricing/?share_your_love=costigator).

## Choose your Broker

1. Our reccomendation is to use a broker which is compatible with cTrader such as such as [IC Markets](https://www.icmarkets.com/global/de/open-trading-account/live?camp=69605), Pepperstone, or BlackBull. Other brokers and trading platforms may also be compatible, but they have not been tested.
2. If you've found your broker, click on it, and a new window will appear. For this documentation, we've used IC Markets as an example.
3. In the new window, you need to click on "Connect."

## Connect to Broker

As soon as you click on "Connect," you will be redirected to the broker's website, where you will need to log in.

After entering your credentials, a new cTrader account with your broker will be opened. You will then have the option to sync with TradingView; click on it.

If you don't have any cTrader account listed please create first a new one and repeat this process
{% endhint %}

## Place your Trades

If you've completed all these steps and the symbol you want to trade is from the correct broker, you'll be able to place trades directly through TradingView.

## Copy trades to other accounts

Now that you have connected your TradingView account with a cTrader account, you can add this account to MetaCopier.io and copy the trades to other accounts. If this is your first time, please follow the [quick start guide](/tutorials/quick-start-guide.md).
