UAE-based broker Equiti Group has announced that its clients can now execute forex and Contract for Difference (CFD) orders directly through TradingView charts. This integration, revealed today (Thursday), allows users to access market tools and place trades seamlessly from the popular financial charting platform, expanding Equiti’s reach for an international clientele.
The connection establishes a new front end for Equiti, complementing its existing MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and Equiti Trader app offerings. According to Finance Magnates Intelligence, MetaTrader 5 registered 317,100 organic visits in the Middle East and North Africa during the third quarter, making it the most visited platform tracked by their comparison tool in that region, though TradingView itself was not included in that specific assessment.
Equiti, founded in 2017, serves retail, professional, and institutional clients. Its UAE website indicates that trades placed through the new integration will operate under the broker’s Premier account conditions, incurring a commission of $3.50 per lot per side. The company states it does not charge for connecting an account, and TradingView’s listing notes no minimum deposit, withdrawal, or inactivity fees.
Husam Al Kurdi, Equiti’s global head of product, commented that this integration offers ‘another seamless route to access the markets’ for traders. The collaboration also highlights TradingView’s features, including Pine Script for custom indicators, price alerts, and customizable layouts supporting up to eight charts simultaneously.
Expanding Broker Ecosystem
Equiti joins an expanding roster of brokers that have integrated with TradingView annually since 2024, each bringing their distinct products to the platform’s unified chart panel. Notable additions include IC Markets in March 2024 and CMC Markets in April 2025. Swissquote followed in May 2025, offering access to over 400 CFDs.
This year has seen several key partnerships. Japan’s FXTF connected in June, being recognized by TradingView as its first locally licensed Japanese forex and CFD broker. Darwinex integrated in July, linking trades placed on the platform to track records on its investor marketplace. Clear Street joined in October, providing access to US stocks, ETFs, and options. FinanceMagnates.com’s count indicates that Equiti is at least the fourth broker to connect with TradingView this year, a platform boasting over 100 million users.
Global Market Implications and Regulatory Framework
This development underscores a broader trend in the online trading sector: the integration of powerful charting and analysis tools with direct execution capabilities. For an international audience, such collaborations simplify access to diverse financial markets, potentially lowering barriers for traders globally. The ability to conduct comprehensive analysis and execute trades from a single interface streamlines the trading process, appealing to both seasoned professionals and newer market participants across different time zones and regulatory environments.
Equiti’s operations are regulated by multiple authorities. TradingView’s announcement specifically names the UAE’s Capital Market Authority (CMA), the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC), and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). The CMA-licensed entity, Equiti Securities Currencies Brokers, also manages the walk-in branches opened in Sharjah and Al Ain in September as part of four localized expansions in the UAE since August.
While Equiti’s boilerplate mentions licenses in the UK and Cyprus, its UK arm has seen recent adjustments. In August, it ceased onboarding new medium- and high-risk clients and scaled back its role as a liquidity provider to other Equiti Group companies. This followed a 24% decline in its net trading revenue to $24.4 million in 2025.
The ongoing expansion of direct broker integrations on platforms like TradingView reflects a growing demand for unified trading experiences. Observers will be watching how this strategy impacts user engagement for Equiti and whether it drives further consolidation of charting and execution services within the global fintech landscape.
