TradingView now offers live U.S. equity options through supported brokers, while the Opera feed pricing remains unverified, so the testing-era framing and unsupported data-feed claim have been corrected while the options-chain and strategy guidance still stands.
TradingView now offers options trading for U.S. equities directly through supported brokers on the platform1. TradingView's options product supports contracts from CME, NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT, NSE, and BSE, with options chains available for instruments such as Tesla2.
Update: December 2025
U.S. equity options trading on TradingView is now officially live. Alpaca has added U.S. equity options on TradingView, allowing eligible accounts to trade U.S. equity options directly through the TradingView interface3. Orders are routed and executed by Alpaca for eligible accounts.
Access to Real-Time Options Data
To access options data on TradingView, users can use the options chain from a symbol page4. This provides options-chain data for analyzing strategies across available contracts, including zero-DTE contracts or longer-term expirations4. This marks a major improvement from the previous process, where users would trade the underlying asset and let platforms like TradersPost handle the options execution .
Automating Options Strategies
With this update, you can now apply technical indicators directly to options contracts and automate trades through TradingView. For instance, you can select a specific options contract, apply a strategy such as a Bollinger Band or VWAP strategy, and send the signal to TradersPost for execution. This allows for greater flexibility in trading options with predefined strategies across different strike prices or expirations .
Expanding Strategy Options
This new capability opens up opportunities for more complex strategies, including trading multiple contracts with varying expirations or strike prices. Additionally, incorporating options data into trading strategies offers valuable insights into market sentiment, which can be useful for both futures and equities traders. Options data, such as the Greeks, provides a forward-looking view of market dynamics, allowing traders to refine their strategies with more informed decision-making .
Conclusion
TradingView's integration of U.S. equities options data is a game-changer for traders, allowing for more precise and automated trading strategies. With options-chain data available directly on the platform, users can now apply indicators and strategies directly to options contracts, significantly enhancing trading flexibility and market analysis4.
