Can I trade perpetual CFDs on TradingView?
Verdict
- Yes. Pepperstone, our pick, lists TradingView as one of four platforms for its perpetual CFDs, alongside MT5, cTrader and its own app.
- In Australia, TradingView connects to Pepperstone's Razor account only, so you need Razor rather than Standard.
- Perpetual commission is 0.015% per side on most contracts (0.03% on GOLD and MSTR); funding is charged daily at a rate set each week.
- Pepperstone's Australian pages do not state whether retail clients may trade perpetuals, so confirm eligibility before you fund.
TradingView is a charting and trading front end; whether a product is tradable there depends on the broker you connect. Here is how it works with Pepperstone.
Yes, through a Pepperstone Razor account
Connect a Pepperstone Razor account to TradingView and you can trade its perpetual list straight from the chart: NAS100, US500, GOLD, WTOIL, BRENTOIL and twelve single stocks including NVDA, TSLA and SPCX. Your counterparty is Pepperstone Group Limited (AFSL 414530). We rate this the best route to perpetuals for chart-led traders, because TradingView's alerts and drawing tools are where many of them already work.

Costs when you trade perpetuals from TradingView
The Razor commission of USD 3.50 per side per lot is the FX rate. Perpetuals have their own charges:
- Commission: 0.015% of position value per side, or 0.03% on GOLD and MSTR, with no minimum.
- Funding: applied each day at 5 pm New York time at the week's published rate.
- Example: a $20,000 US500 PERP position costs $3 to open and about $3 to close, plus funding for every cut-off it is held through.
