Summary

Alpaca has integrated its commission-free API trading platform with TradingView to provide users with deep market insights while seamlessly using their existing accounts, eliminating the need for additional data subscriptions. To get started, users need to create an Alpaca account and link it to a TradingView account, then select Alpaca from the Trading Panel menu bar. Once set up, users can view insights such as current positions, orders, history, and notifications directly within TradingView, with the ability to execute trades through a trading modal on the right side of the page. The integration provides commission-free trading for U.S.-listed securities and is subject to certain conditions and warnings regarding third-party access to account information.
