TradeStation Securities First US Broker to Offer Options Trading via TradingView in US

TradeStation Securities, the self-clearing online brokerage firm, has become the first US broker to enable options trading through TradingView, marking a significant expansion in the platform's trading capabilities.

The integration allows both new and existing clients of TradeStation Securities to execute options trades directly through TradingView's platform, which combines charting tools with social networking features for traders and investors.

John Bartleman, President and CEO of TradeStation Group, Inc., the parent company of TradeStation Securities, explained the significance: "TradeStation will be the first US broker for options trading as TradingView introduces this asset class to its platform. With the options integration, new and existing TradeStation clients can leverage direct-market access, free real-time and Level 2 data as well as Market Depth trading, all through one single connection on the TradingView platform. This collaboration reinforces TradeStation Securities' role as a catalyst for traders looking to create their ultimate trading experience."

Pierce Crosby, General Manager of TradingView, highlighted the platform's growth trajectory: "For over a decade, TradingView has consistently expanded its offerings, adding new assets and markets to its global platform. We are excited to collaborate with TradeStation Securities to bring options trading to our community, reinforcing our shared commitment to democratizing data and information access for investors worldwide."

The development extends TradeStation Securities' existing services, which include trading in stocks, options, futures, and futures options. TradingView, known for its technical analysis tools and social features, has been steadily expanding its platform capabilities beyond charting to include direct trading functionality.
