TradeLocker brokers: which brokers use TradeLocker in 2026?

What is TradeLocker?

TradeLocker is a trading platform for forex and CFDs (contracts for difference) on indices, metals, commodities and crypto. It runs in a web browser with nothing to install, and it is also available as a desktop application and as a mobile app for iOS and Android.

What most traders notice first is the charting: TradingView charts are built in, with more than 100 indicators and drawing tools. Orders are placed, modified and closed directly on the chart, and a position-size calculator in the order panel works out the trade size from the risk set before clicking.

Why traders look for a TradeLocker broker

• Nothing to install — the web trader opens in a browser tab, which suits any computer where installing software is not an option.
• Charts they already know — many traders analyse on TradingView, so the layout and tools feel familiar from day one.
• On-chart order management — stop loss and take profit are dragged on the chart instead of typed into a form.
• Risk tools in the order panel — stop loss, take profit, trailing stops and the position-size calculator sit in one place.

If you are deciding between TradeLocker and MetaTrader 5, our TradeLocker vs MetaTrader 5 comparison goes through both platforms feature by feature. This guide is about the other half of the decision: the broker.

Which brokers use TradeLocker?

TradeLocker cannot be downloaded and connected to just any account. A broker integrates the platform and opens TradeLocker accounts for its clients, and those accounts only work with that broker’s server. A growing number of online brokers and funding firms now offer it, often alongside MetaTrader 5.

Any list of names dates quickly, and it would not tell you much anyway. Two brokers can offer exactly the same TradeLocker and still be very different places to trade, because the platform only covers the screen. Everything behind it is set by the broker.

The left column is largely the same at every TradeLocker broker. The right column is where they differ.

How to tell whether a broker really offers TradeLocker

• The platforms page names it and links to the web trader and the desktop and mobile apps.
• The client area can create a TradeLocker account, not only MetaTrader accounts.
• A TradeLocker demo is available — if a demo opens on the platform, the integration is live.
• The login screen lists the broker’s own server, which is how TradeLocker connects each account to its broker.

What to look for in a TradeLocker broker

Once the platform is the same, the comparison comes down to conditions. These are the checks experienced traders tend to run before funding an account:

• Spreads at real hours — the typical spread during the London and New York sessions, watched on a demo, says more than a “from” figure on a homepage.
• Commission per lot — raw-spread accounts usually add a commission per lot, so the real cost per trade is spread plus commission.
• Withdrawal speed and fees — a small test withdrawal shows how long money takes to come back and what it costs.
• A free demo on TradeLocker — live prices and no time limit, so the platform can be learned before any money is involved.
• Account types on the platform — some brokers offer TradeLocker only on selected accounts, which narrows the choice.
• Support that answers — real people at the hours you trade, not only an email address.

How HeroFX offers TradeLocker

At HeroFX, every account type runs on TradeLocker. The platform has no conditions of its own: you pick the pricing that fits how you trade.

Full conditions for each account are on the account types page.

The checklist, applied to HeroFX

The payment provider or the blockchain network may charge its own fee. Details on the withdrawal methods page.

If you also want MetaTrader 5 — to run Expert Advisors, for example — you open an MT5 account from the same HeroFX profile. The two platforms use separate trading accounts, each with its own balance and history, and you can move funds between your accounts. Client experiences with platforms, payments and support are collected in our HeroFX review.

How to open a TradeLocker account at HeroFX

Everything runs from the HeroFX client area, and the whole process takes a few minutes.

1. 1Sign upCreate your HeroFX profile. Demo trading is available straight away.
2. 2Create the accountIn the client area, go to Accounts and choose TradeLocker.
3. 3Fund itFrom $5 with crypto or $30 by card — or stay on demo.
4. 4Log in and tradeWeb, desktop or mobile, on the HeroFX server.

• Identity check — a live account needs a short verification; the demo does not.
• Login details — your credentials appear in the client area as soon as the account is created. On the TradeLocker login screen you select the HeroFX server and sign in with the account number and password.
• Funding — most deposits arrive within minutes. Networks and minimums are listed on the funding methods page.

What is the minimum deposit for TradeLocker?

TradeLocker itself has no minimum: the broker sets it. At HeroFX a live TradeLocker account can be funded from $5 with crypto, or from $30 with Apple Pay, Google Pay or a debit card. The demo needs no deposit at all.

TradeLocker on desktop, web and mobile

One TradeLocker account works on all three versions with the same login, and positions, orders and alerts stay in sync between them.

A common split is to analyse and plan on a large screen and to use the phone to follow open positions, move a stop or react to an alert.

Does TradeLocker work on a Mac?

Yes. There is a desktop application for macOS, in versions for Apple Silicon and Intel processors, and the web trader runs in any modern browser, too.

Is TradeLocker free?

For the trader, yes. There is no platform fee or subscription: the broker provides TradeLocker as part of the account. At HeroFX it is free on every account type, and so is the demo.

That is why the account type matters more for cost than the platform. Our guide to raw spread vs zero commission works out which account suits which trading style.
