TradingView has changed a practical part of its connected-broker workflow in the 29 October release of TradingView Desktop 3.5.0. Broker sign-in now opens in the user's web browser, so a password manager can participate in the authentication process. The release also records the broker and account selected for individual tabs and can reconnect those sessions automatically when the desktop app starts.[1]
The distinction between viewing a chart and maintaining a broker session is important. A user may monitor several instruments and accounts within one desktop workspace, but each connected trading panel carries its own account context. Forgetting which account is active can create an operational hazard before any order is entered. Saving broker and account selection per tab can reduce repeated manual configuration, although the release notes do not prove that it prevents orders being entered in the wrong account.[1]
The new authentication route is also not a relaxation of the broker's own security rules. TradingView is changing where the login window opens; password entry, multifactor checks and permissions remain governed by the integrated broker's procedures. The existence of a browser-based sign-in should not be taken as a guarantee that every password manager or identity provider is supported by every brokerage connection.[1]
Login changes and account-state changes are separate
Version 3.5.0 also introduces custom tab groups and saves whether drawing tools and trading panels are visible, along with certain panel dimensions. Those are workspace-management features useful to analysts who separate execution, monitoring and research layouts. TradingView explicitly says tab groups and some tab-specific broker and panel preferences are being rolled out gradually over the following weeks rather than appearing simultaneously for all users.[1]
Other changes include warnings about layouts unavailable under the user's current subscription plan and a fix for tabs being dragged into the wrong position when many were open. These details are small but distinguish a real software release from a general announcement that charting has become more capable. They also provide a concrete reference for users assessing a sudden change in their desktop interface.[1]
TradingView Desktop 3.5.0: relevant broker-facing changes
| Feature | Version 3.5.0 behaviour | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Broker authentication | Browser-based sign-in | Broker security requirements unchanged |
| Account state | Connected broker and account remembered by tab | Rollout of some settings is gradual |
| Workspace organisation | Custom tab groups | Gradual availability |
| Trading availability | Not changed by this release | Broker-specific permissions and hours apply |
The release notes establish new connection management and workspace behaviour, not a trading venue launch, a broker licence or a new class of executable instruments. Users should still check the specific broker's trading hours, account entity, margin permissions and order confirmation when placing trades. The immediate new development is the desktop application's authentication and session persistence, with gradual rollout qualifications preserved.[1]
