TradeLocker

TradeLocker is a web trading platform that launched with a specific proposition: TradingView charting as the native interface rather than as an add-on. It runs entirely in the browser, requires no installation, and has been adopted quickly by proprietary trading firms and by brokers targeting traders who find MetaTrader's interface dated.

Charting first

The platform's charts are TradingView's, embedded as the primary trading surface rather than as a separate window. Drawing tools, indicators and layouts behave the way a TradingView user expects, and orders are placed directly from the chart. For a trader whose analysis already lives in TradingView, this removes the step of translating a chart decision into a different application's order ticket.

What it does not do

TradeLocker does not run MetaTrader Expert Advisors, and Pine Script strategies do not execute automatically here any more than they do on TradingView itself. Automation depends on the broker exposing an API. Traders whose strategy is a compiled EA will need a MetaTrader account alongside it.

Broker-side configuration

Leverage, instruments, spreads, commissions, stop-out rules and whether hedging or news trading is permitted are set by the broker, not the platform. Prop firms in particular use these controls to enforce challenge rules — maximum daily loss, overall drawdown and position limits are applied at the platform level and cannot be overridden. Read the firm's rulebook rather than the platform's feature list.

Access and cost

Free to the trader, browser-based, with mobile apps. No Windows dependency, which makes it a practical option for macOS and Linux users.

Who it suits

TradeLocker suits discretionary traders who want TradingView charting with live execution and no desktop terminal, and anyone trading a funded account with a firm that has standardised on it. ProForexBrokers.com treats platform choice as secondary to the broker's execution and withdrawal record, since the platform is identical across every firm that licenses it.
