Do I need a paid TradingView subscription to connect to MetaTrader?

Yes, to use the Webhook feature required for automatic connection, you must have a paid plan (Essential or higher) on TradingView.

Does my computer need to stay on for the robot to work?

If you are using your personal computer, yes. However, the best method is to use a VPS server to ensure the robot runs 24/7 without interruption.

TradingView to MT5 — Auto-Execute Your Strategies

Are you wondering how to connect TradingView with MetaTrader (MT4 or MT5) to execute your trades automatically? The direct answer is: to connect the two platforms without delay, you need to use the “Webhook” feature in TradingView, and send the alert to a fast bridge software like TV2Broker which will read the alert and open the trade instantly in your MetaTrader platform within milliseconds.

Why do traders need to connect TradingView with MT5?

TradingView is considered the best charting platform globally for technical analysis, possessing thousands of highly accurate strategic indicators. But the problem is that the platform cannot execute buy and sell orders directly with most Forex brokers.

This is where the urgent need for Automated Trading comes in. The moment two lines cross in your indicator, or the price touches a support line, the trade is automatically opened without you needing to be in front of the screen.

3 Basic Requirements before connecting the platforms

Paid TradingView Account: You need an (Essential) plan or higher to activate the “Webhook URL” option required for the connection.
Bridge Software (Trade Copier): Such as TV2Broker, which is the tool that receives the alert and translates it to MetaTrader language.
VPS Server (Recommended): To ensure your trades run 24/5 without needing to keep your home computer running. You can learn about the best VPS servers for trading.

Steps to Connect TradingView and MetaTrader

Step 1: Set up the Alert in TradingView

Select your pair (e.g., EURUSD) and place your favorite indicator on the chart. Click on the Alert icon. In the settings window, make sure to select “Once Per Bar Close” or according to your strategy.

Step 2: Enable the Webhook URL

In the same alert window, navigate to the Notifications tab and check the Webhook URL option. Paste your custom link obtained from the TV2Broker dashboard.

Step 3: Write the Command Message (JSON)

The communication language between the two platforms is very simple. In the Message box, you must write the commands for the robot to read. A simple example for a Buy message:

Buy EURUSD
Lot=0.1
TP=1.1200
SL=1.1000

Our smart technical system will read this message and execute it literally.
