TheConnector user guides for TradingView, MT4, MT5 and cTrader

Step-by-step guides for novice users: configure TradingView alerts, use the client area and install the MT4, MT5 or cTrader robot.

Client

Client workspace guide — Walk through Basic access, accounts, symbol mapping, analytics, replication and support from the client workspace.
Robot settings guide — Choose the right risk source, price mode, symbol routing and news filter for each connected account.
Copy your trades across accounts — One source account, one or more targets: every order on the source is replayed on the copies. Available on Pro and Elite.
Read your performance — The five figures, the curves and the breakdowns of the performance page — and how to read them without fooling yourself.
When your broker names a symbol differently — TradingView sends XAUUSD, your broker calls the same instrument GOLD, and the order is rejected. Declare the correspondence once and every alert that follows is translated on the way through.
Your trading plan and discipline — Write down your rules, and see afterwards whether you actually kept them. The robot observes and reports; it blocks nothing.
TheConnector Relay: install and use the browser extension — Test TheConnector without a paid TradingView plan: install the extension on Chrome, Edge or Firefox, connect it to your account, protect the TradingView tab from being closed and let everything start again on its own when the computer restarts.

TradingView webhook payload — Exact fields read by WebhookIngress when a TradingView alert reaches TheConnector.

Install the MT4 EA — Install the current MT4 EA package, allow TheConnector WebRequest and enter only ACCOUNT_CODE and ACCESS_KEY.
Install the MT5 EA — Install the current MT5 EA package, allow the TheConnector endpoint and configure only ACCOUNT_CODE and ACCESS_KEY.
Install the cTrader cBot — Double-click the .algo file, enter AccountCode and AccessKey, then keep the bridge status visible before real routing.

Status, support and recovery checks — Know where to check public service health, what to read first and when to open a ticket from the client side.

TradingView strategy backtest (Recovery CSV) — Download a pre-filled Recovery CSV from the dashboard, add your trades and replay a TradingView strategy — with drawdown recovery — in the MT4/MT5 Strategy Tester or the cTrader backtest. Included in every plan.

Recovery: every setting — Recovery manages the exit of a losing position with a basket of orders. Read what each setting does before switching it on.

Command syntax reference — Commands, aliases and examples accepted by the current WebhookIngress parser.
