CFD Trading on Tradingview

[antares66]

Hello,
is it possible to trade IB´s CFDs on Tradingview? Stock trading works but i didn´t find any cfd symbols on Tradingview for IB. The only cfd symbols i see are for the broker Capitalcom. I know that Sierrachart offers CFD Trading on IB accounts, but Tradingview?

As far as I know, this cannot be done because IB CFDs cannot be found on TradingView.

Shorting strategies are much easier to implement because you haven´t to borrow the stock first. You can trade on leverage and must not invest the full amount to buy the stock. In Europe you have to deposit a margin of 20%.
