The popularity of Tradeview is a neutral 3 out of 5. Not one of the most popular brokers with traders, maybe due to the lack of regulation from a tier-1 level Financial Authority to boost it’s credibility and the feeling of funds safety.
Still, Tradeview should be considered a sound option if traders are looking for an alternative broker offering brokerage execution in an ECN and DMA environment. Tradeview is a broker with very low spreads on all Major currency pairs. Also, if traders are considering the cryptocurrencies CFDs, Tradeview offers, for the more popular coins, some of the lowest spreads in the market, making them one of the most competitive brokers we’ve found.
- Trading accounts - The Tradeview Innovative Liquidity Connector® account is a popular choice with traders looking for reduced trading costs and considered the best value based on its competitive spreads and the $5.00 commission per lot traded. Extra points for Tradeview's policy of no fees on deposits or withdrawals.
- Forex education - Tradeview loses a couple of popularity points for the broker's very limited range of Forex education materials. Traders can only find a couple of basic video tutorials related to MetaTrader 4 and the Rhino Report, Tradeview's website with a few market related articles.
