Linking Webull to TradingView: Your Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide
The integration between Webull and TradingView allows you to leverage TradingView's robust charting, analytical tools, and vibrant community while executing trades directly through your Webull brokerage account. This means less jumping between applications and more focused trading.
Step 1: Confirming Your Eligibility and Account Status
Before we proceed, it's crucial to ensure you meet the necessary prerequisites. Don't skip this step, as it can save you time and frustration down the line!
Sub-heading: Do You Have a Webull Account?
First and foremost, you need an active Webull brokerage account. If you don't have one yet:
Action: Head over to the official Webull website or download their mobile app and complete the account opening process. This typically involves submitting personal information, verifying your identity, and funding your account.
Important Note: Ensure your Webull account is fully approved and funded before attempting to link it to TradingView.
Sub-heading: Are You in a Supported Region?
While the integration is expanding, it's essential to confirm if direct trading with Webull on TradingView is available in your region. Currently, this integration is primarily available for US users and has recently expanded to Webull UK users for trading US shares.
Action: If you are outside the US or UK, double-check the latest announcements from Webull or TradingView regarding international availability for direct trading. You can usually find this information on their official websites or support pages.
Step 2: Accessing TradingView and the Broker Panel
Now that you've confirmed your Webull account is ready, let's navigate to TradingView.
Sub-heading: Logging into TradingView
Action: Open your web browser and go to
www.tradingview.com Action: Log in to your TradingView account. If you don't have one, you can sign up for a free account. While premium TradingView plans offer more features, a free account is sufficient to connect your broker.
Sub-heading: Locating the Trading Panel
Once logged in, you'll need to find the "Trading Panel." This is where all broker integrations are managed.
Action: On the TradingView chart interface, look for the "Trading Panel" tab located at the bottom of the screen. It's usually a horizontal bar that can be expanded.
Tip: If you don't see it, try expanding the lower section of your TradingView interface.
Step 3: Connecting Your Webull Account
This is the core step where you establish the link between the two platforms.
Sub-heading: Selecting Webull from the Broker List
Within the Trading Panel, you'll see a list of supported brokers.
Action: In the Trading Panel, scroll through the list of available brokers until you find the Webull logo. It might be under "All Brokers" or prominently displayed.
Action: Click on the Webull logo.
Sub-heading: Initiating the Connection
After selecting Webull, you'll be prompted to connect.
Action: A pop-up window or a section within the Trading Panel will appear, asking you to connect your Webull account. Click the "Connect" button.
Sub-heading: Authorizing Your Webull Account
This step will redirect you to Webull's authorization page to securely link your accounts.
Action: You will be redirected to Webull's secure login page. Enter your Webull login credentials (username and password) and any required two-factor authentication (2FA) codes.
Important Security Note: Always ensure you are on the official Webull domain when entering your credentials. Look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar. TradingView does not store your Webull login details.
Action: After successfully logging in, Webull will ask for your permission to grant TradingView access to your account for trading and data. Review the permissions carefully and then click "Authorize" or "Allow Access." This typically includes permissions for viewing account information, market data, and placing trades.
Step 4: Verifying the Connection and Beginning to Trade
Once you've authorized the connection, you'll be redirected back to TradingView.
Sub-heading: Confirmation in TradingView
Action: Back on TradingView, the Trading Panel should now show your Webull account as "Connected". You should also see your account balance, open positions, and order history from Webull reflected directly in the Trading Panel.
Troubleshooting Tip: If the connection isn't immediate, try refreshing your TradingView page or closing and reopening the Trading Panel.
Sub-heading: Placing Trades Directly from Charts
Now, the magic happens! You can place orders directly from TradingView charts.
Action: Navigate to the chart of the stock or asset you wish to trade.
Action: On the chart itself, or within the Trading Panel, you will see options to place buy or sell orders. This might be a "Buy/Sell" button, a right-click option on the chart, or an order entry panel.
Action: Enter your order details, such as order type (market, limit, stop), quantity, and price (for limit/stop orders).
Action: Confirm your order details and click "Place Order." Your order will be sent directly to your Webull account for execution.
Experience the Difference: You'll notice your orders, positions, and P&L (Profit & Loss) updating in real-time within the Trading Panel, directly linked to your Webull account. This provides a truly integrated and efficient trading workflow.
Step 5: Managing Your Connected Account
Maintaining a smooth trading experience involves understanding how to manage your connected Webull account within TradingView.

Action: Next to your connected Webull account, you should see an option to "Disconnect" or a similar icon (e.g., a gear icon for settings, then disconnect). Click this option.
Confirmation: Confirm your decision to disconnect. This will revoke TradingView's access to your Webull account.
Sub-heading: Monitoring Account Activity
The Trading Panel is your hub for monitoring your Webull account.
