The TheConnector endpoint is built into the standard package. No server address is entered in the normal build. Use a custom build only when support provides one.

Demo check

Send one TradingView alert to a demo account and check the dashboard delivery status, the EA journal and the broker symbol. TheConnector routes instructions; it does not replace your broker, strategy, volume rules or risk management.
