TradeLocker brokers: who offers it and what to check
TradeLocker is a newer trading platform with TradingView charts built in, used by a growing number of forex brokers and prop firms. Here is what it is, which brokers we have checked offer it, and how to judge a TradeLocker broker before you deposit.
Short answer: of the 11 brokers we fully review, Eightcap is the one that lists TradeLocker, alongside MT4, MT5 and TradingView. Most other TradeLocker brokers are smaller firms, many registered offshore, so checking which company would hold your account matters more than the platform itself.
What TradeLocker is
TradeLocker is a multi-asset trading platform that runs in a web browser, on desktop and on iOS and Android. Its charts are powered by TradingView, so drawing tools, indicators and chart layouts feel familiar if you already use TradingView. Brokers license the platform and connect it to their own pricing, which means two TradeLocker brokers can have very different spreads, commissions and protections.

ClarityFX: every account runs on TradeLocker
ECN pricing, TradingView charts on web, desktop and mobile, no minimum deposit and funding in BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC, DAI or SOL. Start on a demo account to try the platform with no money at risk.
ClarityFX pays to be featured and is not one of the brokers we review. It lists a registered office in Saint Lucia and no licence from a regulator such as the FCA, ASIC or CySEC, so those protections would not apply. Not available to US residents.
TradeLocker vs MetaTrader 5
| TradeLocker | MetaTrader 5 | |
|---|---|---|
| Charts | TradingView charts built in | MetaQuotes charts; TradingView only via separate integrations |
| Where it runs | Browser, desktop, iOS, Android | Desktop, web, iOS, Android |
| Automated trading | More limited ecosystem | Large Expert Advisor and MQL5 ecosystem |
| Broker choice | Smaller, newer list | Offered by most brokers |
| Best for | Manual traders who like TradingView charting | Traders who use EAs, scripts or want the widest broker choice |
If you rely on Expert Advisors, MT5 is still the safer choice. If you trade manually and want TradingView charts without a separate subscription, TradeLocker is worth testing on a demo account. See our MT4 vs MT5 guide and TradingView brokers.
How to check a TradeLocker broker
- Find the company you would join. It is named in the account-opening terms, not the homepage logo.
- Look it up on the regulator's own register. Our licence check guide shows how. No entry means no regulator protection.
- Read the withdrawal terms before you deposit: methods, fees, processing times and any identity checks.
- Test on a demo account during the hours you would actually trade, and compare spreads with another broker.
- Start small and make a test withdrawal early.
FAQ
Is TradeLocker a broker?
No. TradeLocker is software. The broker that offers it sets your prices, holds your money and decides which rules protect you.
Is TradeLocker free?
Brokers usually provide it at no extra charge with an account. You still pay the broker's spreads, commissions and any swap fees.
Can I use TradeLocker with a prop firm?
Yes, several prop firms offer it. A prop firm is not a broker, and its rules and payout terms are separate from the platform.
Is TradeLocker safe?
Platform safety and broker safety are different questions. Judge the broker by its licence, the legal company that holds your money and its withdrawal record.
