Hi JuhaL, thank you for sharing your detailed feedback.
We appreciate that you’ve been trading with Saxo via Mandatum Trader for two years and through TradingView for the past year, and it’s good to hear that index trading is now working for you.
At the same time, we understand your frustration around the current limitations. In particular, we hear your concerns regarding:

- The inability to re-adjust OCO orders directly in TradingView
- The need to switch back to the Saxo platform for certain order management tasks
- The lack of access to BTC futures
and especially the limited reporting and export options for active traders

We fully understand that detailed trade exports are essential — not only for tax reporting, but also for post-trade analysis and performance tracking. Having to export trades one by one is not an ideal experience, especially for day traders managing a high number of transactions.
Your feedback is highly relevant, and we will make sure it is shared with the relevant teams for consideration in future platform improvements. Input like yours is valuable in helping us identify where the trading experience needs to evolve further.
Thank you again for taking the time to write such a thorough review.
Best regards,
Saxo

Dear luke741
Thank you for sharing your experience — we really appreciate it.
We’re very glad to hear you had a good start trading with Saxo, but we also understand your disappointment around some of the limitations you’ve encountered.

Pre-market trading: You’re absolutely right — availability can differ between Saxo’s platform and TradingView. At the moment, not all order types or sessions (like pre-market) are supported via the TradingView integration. We understand how important this is and are continuously working to expand functionality.
Instrument availability: Some tickers available on Saxo’s platform may not yet be accessible through TradingView. This is something we’re actively improving as we continue to strengthen the integration and broaden coverage.
Stop loss / take profit behaviour: We understand how frustrating it is to cancel one order just to place another. More flexible order handling (like managing stop loss and take profit simultaneously) is a key part of a smoother trading experience, and your feedback is very relevant here.

We’ve recently strengthened our API integration to improve overall stability and functionality, and feedback like yours helps guide where we focus next.
If you’d like, feel free to reach out to our support team — we’re happy to walk you through current options or setups that might better fit your needs.
Thanks again for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review — it really helps us improve.

Best regards,
Saxo

Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)
Successful trading requires thorough preparation, ensuring every decision is well-informed and carefully considered. To develop a winning strategy, follow these key steps:
- Find the right asset using our screeners and heatmaps. Explore the stock market with the Stock Screener, track cryptocurrencies on the Crypto Coins Heatmap, and more tools to find in the main menu
- Analyze price movements on our Supercharts. Utilize multiple drawing tools, built-in indicators, and advanced features to gain deeper market insights
- Stay on top of market changes with the Economic Calendar and the latest news, helping you quickly adapt to shifting conditions

A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.

It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.
Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
Commissions in trading are fees that brokers charge for executing trades on behalf of traders. These costs help brokers maintain their platforms, provide essential services, and ensure smooth access to financial markets.

Understanding commission structures is essential for traders, as fees can impact overall profitability. Choosing a broker with competitive rates and transparent pricing ensures cost-effective trading.
