Why does TradingView show no brokers other than Paper Trading?
The trading panel lists only brokers that have an integration with TradingView and serve your region. If your broker is not integrated, or the region on your profile points somewhere it is not offered, Paper Trading is all that is left. Nothing is broken, and you cannot add a broker to the list yourself. This guide covers the check to make first, and what to do when the broker you use is not there.
Check the country on your profile
- 1
Open your profile settings
In TradingView, open your profile and look at the country or region it holds. The panel filters its broker list by that setting, so a wrong value can hide brokers that would otherwise be listed.
- 2
Search the list for your broker's name
Open the trading panel, select the broker list and search for the broker you use. If it appears, connect it with that broker's login. If it does not, the broker is not integrated for your region.

Decide which side of the gap you are on
A broker that is integrated can be traded by hand from the chart. A broker that is not integrated cannot, and the panel has no setting to change that.
Changing the country on your profile to see a longer list is not a fix. Brokers serve the regions they are licensed in, and an account you cannot log in to is of no use in the panel.
What the panel was for anyway
The panel places orders by hand. It never acts on an alert, so even a full broker list would not make a strategy trade by itself. If what you want is for alerts to become orders, you do not need the panel at all.
The alternative: webhook alerts
A TradingView alert can send a webhook, which is the alert's message posted to a URL. Webhooks need a paid TradingView plan and two-factor authentication on your account. A receiver at that URL reads the message and places the order through a broker's API, so the broker only has to publish an API. It does not have to appear in the panel.
- 1
Write the message
Name the ticker, the side and whether the alert opens or closes. For options add the expiry, the strike and call or put.
- 2
Add the webhook URL to the alert
Paste the receiver's URL into the alert's Webhook URL box and save the alert.
- 3
Test on paper before live money
Run the alerts against a paper account, then check each fill in the broker's own order history.
With Nyria
Nyria is a receiver for those webhooks. It places orders at Charles Schwab, Tradier, tastytrade and Alpaca, and reads any alert wording or JSON, so a message such as long entry AAPL is enough. An alert cannot set the order size; the bot sets it from the budget per entry you choose, and Nyria attaches no stop order to an entry.
Nyria Paper is free and needs no broker login, so the whole route can be tried before any account is connected. Live trading is from $15 a month. The alert tester shows how a message will be read.
Nyria does not add brokers to TradingView's panel. It takes the alert off TradingView and places the order itself.
Questions
- Why is only Paper Trading listed?
- The panel shows integrated brokers that serve the country on your profile. If none match, Paper Trading, TradingView's own simulator, is the only entry left.
- Can I place orders from alerts without the panel?
- Yes. A webhook alert to a receiver that holds a broker connection places orders without the panel, as long as the broker publishes an API.
- What does it cost?
- Paper is free. Live trading from $15 a month.
