Get started with as little as R500 | Connect directly to TradingView | Full FSCA Regulation (#47080)

Many prospective South African traders assume opening an account with an institutional-grade broker / TradingView integration requires R10,000 to R50,000+. With Herenya, you can get started with only R500.

Herenya Capital Advisors (Pty) Ltd, FSP No. 47080, is an FSCA-licensed Financial Services Provider providing stockbroking, asset management and related investment services.

Velocity Trader is Herenya Capital Advisors’ appointed trading platform service provider. The Velocity Trader platform provides the technology and infrastructure through which Herenya’s clients can access and operate their trading accounts.

Herenya Capital Advisors remains responsible for the financial services and investment-related services provided to its clients, while Velocity Trader provides the underlying trading platform and related technology services.

TradingView is an online financial market analysis and trading platform that provides charts, market data, technical analysis tools and trading capabilities.  In simple terms, TradingView allows a trader to view and analyse financial markets visually, using charts and indicators, and – where supported by a connected broker – to place and manage trades.

Your Herenya Trading Account can be connected directly to TradingView.

The integration works as follows:

1. Open a Herenya Trading Account and ensure that the account is active and funded.
2. Log in to TradingView and link your Herenya Trading Account with TradingView – instructions will be provided.
3. Once connected, you can view supported instruments, analyse charts and place and manage trades directly from the TradingView interface.

The TradingView integration does not create a separate trading account. Your trading account remains with Herenya, while TradingView provides the charting, analysis and trading interface. Herenya confirms that the integration is free for its clients, with the applicable brokerage fees and commissions still applying.

Please Note:  the cost of TradingView subscription is for the client’s account, bearing in mind free subscription is also available.
