Hey guys! I'm about to jump into trading on TradingView for the first time. Got any tips or advice? Like which broker to pick, or what indicators are worth checking out? Some of these indicators are totally new to me. Appreciate any help!

Do you have any experience in trading? It seems you don't. If you don't have any experience, try to get knowledge on the basics first before trying out analysis on TradingView. It is not a must to use indicators; there are traders who do not make use of any indicators, only pure price action, drawing support and resistance, but they are able to still predict the market movement most of the time.
To learn trading and master analysis on TradingView, you must be willing to be patient with the market and go through the process.

Crypto exchanges ("brokers") have inbuilt tradingview charts so no need to link your account to tradingview except if there is a trading script you want to run. As for learning how to use the platform, you will just have to watch a number of YouTube video. Tradingview has a number of educational video
There is no specific indicator you need to use, you just learn which one is more suitable for you
This is their channel - https://www.youtube.com/@TradingView
Yes I do have but I'd rather say that it's shallow. I'm using the expertoption trading platform before and now I saw tradingview and I want to try using tradingview but it has different UI so I feel overwhelmed somehow. Maybe I'll try researching for the basics first as you say. Thanks!

TradingView is more on analysis and charting platform and not broker itself, if I am not mistaken there's an option there where you can connect your exchange site or broker so you can directly trade there. Personally, I don't connect it there but would rather do my analysis in TradingView since they have a vast number of indicators and other tools which common trading sites don't have and in my exchange site I just put there my target entry, stop-loss and take profit targets since I find it really hassle to connect my exchange site to TradingView.
Also, I'm only in the free tier so I think you need to pay for subscription to use some features which if I am not mistaken includes that.
P.S. Just did a research, and I think you can connect your account even with free tier which is nice.
If you want to trade cryptocurrency, trade it on the spot market. The best cryptocurrency is Bitcoin.
The best and simplest indicator is the RSI. Buy below 20 and sell above 80.
The best strategy for success is to look for divergences on the chart and in the indicator. For example, a divergence was observed before BTC's fall in 2025.
Your first task is to find another divergence on the chart I published.

Shallow knowledge is not enough knowledge to be profitable in trading consistently; even half knowledge is not enough. You really need to know what you know.
You can practice your analysis to become better on TradingView, but please don't enter the live market until you are certain of the knowledge you have; the losses may be hard to recover from.
How can I deposit in tradingview? Should I connect an account first before I can deposit?
Yep, I'm still in the learning process in trading. However, I use real money instead of dummy account because it for me I feel like I learn with that. Dont worry because I only trade for small amount and not a bigger trade.
Learn some good indicator such as RSI, EMA, volume. You're going to hit the free tier limit but at least it's enough to familiar yourself with the interface since you TradingView free tier is limited in technical indicator, etc.
After you got familiar, you're gonna be looking for another indicators such as MACD, FVG, Bollinger Bands, and Stochastic Oscillator. You better have the premium plan because you're gonna complicate yourself switching between indicator to avoid the TA limits .
As always, it's better if you learn and watch tutorial about trading while practicing it. If you don't know how to get started, there are plenty of tutorials and even complete TradingView crash courses that are free in youtube.
I think using Tradingview to start trading is much better, because there you can use Indicators that are not even installed on the Exchange chart directly. But before you use the Indicator that is not on the Exchange, you need to learn its function.
In Tradingview it's much more complete, even if you want to draw or create a specific price tag for a buy or sell target you can do so.
For large crypto exchanges that can connect to the Tradingview API, there are several of them:

I haven't done it before, but I've seen a YouTube video on how you can connect your wallet your wallet in TradingView and open a position, if you're interested here's the link of the video that I saw before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lu1QBEBYE7Y
If you're not sure about connecting it, I would suggest to use the TradingView only for analysis, figuring out TP, SL and Entry point and just use your exchange site/broker to open those positions, it's actually not that hassle but in case you tried and follow what's on the video, please let us know, I really haven't done it before so I'm curious too.
Sure! I'll look into that youtube video.
