Will buy/sell orders via TradingView, GoCharting and other apps stop working from April 1 due to API IP whitelisting requirement?

General

If trades placed via TradingView, GoCharting or similar apps are routed through broker APIs, then this could affect them regardless of whether the orders are manual or low frequency (<10 orders/sec).

So does this mean these apps may not be able to place orders for users from April 1, 2026?

If a platform places orders by calling broker APIs directly from your local machine (for example, via a desktop app or browser session), then your local IP address is what matters. In such cases, using a static IP from your ISP, or routing through a VPN/proxy with a fixed IP, should work just like it does for running your own algo code.

However, some platforms execute trades by calling broker APIs from their own servers (server-side execution). In those cases, the platform’s server IPs must be whitelisted by the broker as vendor IPs. If they are not, the API calls will fail, and there is nothing the trader can do to fix it—this must be handled by the platform itself.

So to answer the main question:
These apps will not necessarily stop working from April 1, 2026. It depends on how they route orders:

  • If orders are placed from your machine → you can manage compliance (e.g., static IP/VPN).
  • If orders are placed from the platform’s servers → the platform must ensure their IPs are whitelisted.

Therefore, users should check how their specific platform handles order execution.
