Getting Started
TradingView for Mac: Install & Gatekeeper Notarization Guide
The Mac app needs macOS 11 Big Sur or later and ships a native binary for Apple Silicon (M-series) — no Rosetta translation, so chart rendering runs at full speed.
Steps
- Get the macOS disk image (.dmg) from the download page;
- Open the dmg and drag the TradingView icon into Applications;
- On first launch Gatekeeper verifies the app — the desktop app is Apple-notarized, so it normally opens straight through;
- Sign in and wait for watchlists and layouts to sync.
Which chip build?
Click → About This Mac: a chip starting with "Apple M" means use the Apple Silicon build; "Intel" means the Intel build. The Universal build runs on both — pick it if unsure.
"App is damaged and can't be opened"?
- First confirm the installer came from this site or an official source — third-party repackaging is the top cause of this error;
- Re-download (an interrupted download corrupts the dmg);
- If it persists, right-click the app icon → Open, then click "Open" again in the dialog so Gatekeeper remembers the exception;
- System Settings → Privacy & Security — if "Open Anyway" appears near the bottom, click it.
Don't forget: System Settings → Notifications, allow TradingView to send notifications, or price alerts won't reach Notification Center.
