Take half off without leaving your chart
Scaling out is where a lot of strategies actually make their money, and it is exactly what most bridges leave out. TheConnector accepts a partial close as a first-class command, in two forms: a percentage you configure once, or an exact volume written into the alert when you want that trade handled differently.
Percentage, or exact volume
The percentage is an account setting, delivered to the robot ahead of time — the alert itself does not carry it. That keeps your Pine Script short and lets you change how much you scale out without editing a single alert. When you do want a specific trade closed by a precise amount, write the volume in the alert and it wins over the percentage: it is the more precise instruction, and you wrote it on purpose.
Change the percentage from your client area — no alert to re-edit
An explicit volume in the alert overrides it for that command only
The remaining volume keeps its stop and target — you are scaling out, not reopening
Closing what is not there any more
Strategies send close commands for positions that have already hit their target, or that never opened. TheConnector treats a close on a position that no longer exists as a harmless no-op rather than an execution error, and it waits a short moment for an entry from the same batch that may still be in flight before deciding there is nothing to close.
No false execution error in your history for a position that had already closed
A short grace period covers the entry that is still on its way
Rejections that are real still carry a reason you can read
Migrating an existing strategy
TheConnector understands the command vocabulary most TradingView traders already write, so a strategy that scales out today can usually be pointed at a new webhook without rewriting its Pine Script. The full grammar is documented, and the free tier lets you check it on a demo account before touching anything live.
The command syntax reference lists every accepted form
Test on a demo account first, on the free tier, without a payment card
The same alert can drive MT4, MT5 and cTrader at once
Frequently asked questions.
Do I have to put the percentage in every alert?
Can I close an exact number of lots instead?
What if the position was already closed?
