Will Zerodha bring "Trade Directly from TradingView.com & Pine Script" like Dhan?

Missed the earlier tag. Below is an answer from 6 years back.

It isn’t as easy as it seems from the outside. There are multiple challenges - not just with tradingview but with any other third party platform - especially the foreign ones. .

When you don’t own the source code to a trading platform that you offer or if there no 24/7 local support, you know the risks right? It is okay as a standalone charting platform, but as a trading platform on a certain day if something is not right and you are not able to spot it and fix it immediately, that potentially could be the death to the business. Using it only for charting is a debatable topic. We had decided to power our charting using chartiq - another really big charting solutions vendor.

Even though on the outside Kite looks like a really simple platform, we run some crazy bits to optimize performance. Today Kite is powering maybe the maximum number of retail trades per day. It would not have been possible if we had used a third party platform. Again like I said, they would be a good bet to power charting, but not the entire trading experience.

Today tradingview is trying to get the social bit going on their website, so they are offering attractive deals for integration. But what if once they have acquired the community they start upping the price? At the brokerage rates we work, we can’t take the risk of any price increase. Again something which can potentially disrupt our business.

The reason still continues to be the same. The risks of depending on a third-party platform outside the regulatory ambit of the country are extremely high. Also, we have decided as a business to not support multiple trading platforms, it increases the complexity and the risk significantly. I know others are doing it and that strategy might work at a small scale, but the risks go up infinitely as the business gets bigger.

@MohammedFaisal we should maybe speak to TV and see if they are now open to expose Pinescript within their charting.

Instant fund withdrawals until a certain limit are being tested. The same balance for equity and commodity will take some time.
