Wartburg College has partnered with TradingView, a charting platform and social network used by millions of professional traders and investors worldwide.

“With access to advanced tools, charting platforms and real-time data, I am confident that students will gain practical skills in market and technical analysis. This partnership will bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world application, which will ultimately enhance the academic experience at Wartburg College,” said Clifton Ross, assistant professor of business and finance.

The software will predominantly be used by Wartburg Trading, a new student organization, though Ross hopes to incorporate it into the finance curriculum in the year to come. Using TradingView’s data, students will be able to track equities, futures, cryptocurrencies and other financial economic data in real time. The partnership also provides students with helpful analyses that can help them better understand the market landscape.

“I have been a user of TradingView’s charting platform for years, and their services are truly amongst the most helpful, educational and accessible compared to other charting platforms,” said Drew Daddario, founder and president of Wartburg Trading. “TradingView’s educational partnership program is perhaps the most beneficial and informational opportunity any student could have. I can see why millions of traders trust their services and why they are the top name as a charting platform.”

The new partnership with TradingView is just one of the ways Wartburg College allows students to experience more in their education. Students also can invest the dividends and interest from a portfolio that has earned as much as $2 million in assets through the Portfolio Management course, which when coupled with TradingView’s data, can help them develop critical professional skills in a risk-free setting. This hands-on approach enhances their classroom learning, equipping them to tackle the challenges of the real-world financial markets with confidence and expertise.
