- ✓No change to the broker account
- ✓No proprietary software on the terminal
- ✓If the connector fails, the gateway keeps the trace
Copy the webhook URL
Each connected account has its own webhook URL, signed with an access key. This is the URL TradingView will call.
https://webhook.theconnector.fr/tc_••••e2a4
Configure the TradingView alert
In TradingView, open the "Alerts" panel, paste the webhook URL, and set a JSON payload in the "Message" field.
{
"account": "acct_mt5_8841",
"action": "buy",
"symbol": "{{ticker}}", // replaced by TradingView
"volume": 0.10,
"sl": 1.0820,
"tp": 1.0910,
"ttl_ms": 3000
}
