IG and Interactive Brokers Partnerships

Aside from the retail brokers mentioned above, the company is also acclaimed by Thomson Reuters, which integrated the company’s content into its Eikon product. The opinions from top marks professionals have become a part of the daily life of the subscribers of Real Vision.
TradingView is featuring the free channel provided by the innovative financial media called “The Edge.” Aside from that, all TradingView users with an upgraded plan have included access to three paid shows in addition to the “The Edge” channel at no extra cost.
The Importance of Video Content
At a time when the trading industry is adapting to a new set of regulations, client acquisition and retention have become key problems for retail brokers. Brokers can look at TradingView’s partnership with Real Vision as an increasingly powerful potential tool for trader engagement.
With brokers scrambling to create their own quality content, some, like IG and Interactive Brokers are choosing to partner with experienced professionals. The industry’s drive to increase client profitability in order to push a more sustainable trading model is shifting the content landscape.
With the increasing competition among retail brokers, the drive for more and better content is one key differentiation point worth noting.
