TradingView webhook

TradingView webhook for MT4, MT5 and cTrader

TradingView can send an HTTP webhook when an alert fires, but it does not execute on MetaTrader or cTrader by itself. TheConnector receives the alert, checks the payload and routes the instruction to the selected account while keeping status history visible.

TradingView webhook endpoint for alert messages MT4, MT5 and cTrader routes from one workflow Received, Routing, ACK and Delivered status checks Free pre-launch access, no payment card required
alert-payload.json 
{
  "account": "acct_mt5_8841",
  "action":  "buy",
  "symbol":  "EURUSD",
  "volume":  0.10,
  "sl":      1.0820,
  "tp":      1.0910
}
Paste your per-account webhook URL into the TradingView alert, then send this JSON message. Every step (Received, Route, ACK, Delivered) stays visible in the dashboard.

What a TradingView webhook does

The webhook is the transport layer: it sends the alert message to a URL. Execution still depends on the bridge, the terminal, the broker and the account rules.

  • ✓ TradingView fires the alert
  • ✓ TheConnector validates the payload
  • ✓ The terminal receives only its routed instruction

Recommended setup path

Start with one account and one readable JSON message. Add symbol mapping, SL/TP and multi-account routing only after the first route is visible in the dashboard.

  • ✓ Create the account route
  • ✓ Copy the per-account webhook URL
  • ✓ Confirm history before increasing volume

MT4, MT5 and cTrader differences

The webhook format can stay stable, but each platform has its own terminal, permissions, symbols and execution constraints.

  • ✓ MT4: EA permissions, AutoTrading and broker suffixes
  • ✓ MT5: netting or hedging, filling mode and volume step
  • ✓ cTrader: cBot or bridge, Automate permissions and symbol names

When comparing alternatives

Compare tools on the routes they cover, how clearly they show failures, and whether you can test safely before paying or moving a live account.

  • ✓ PineConnector alternative pages should stay factual
  • ✓ cTrader support is a separate decision point
  • ✓ Late trading commands should expire, not replay

FAQ

Can TradingView webhooks execute directly on MT4 or MT5?
No. TradingView sends the alert message. A bridge, terminal robot or cBot is still needed to route the instruction to the trading platform.
Which platform is best for a TradingView webhook?
Use the platform your broker and workflow already support. MT4, MT5 and cTrader have different permissions, symbols and execution constraints.
Is TheConnector a PineConnector alternative?
It can be evaluated as an alternative workflow for TradingView webhooks, especially when cTrader, EU hosting and Basic validation are important. PineConnector is a third-party brand.
Does a webhook guarantee broker execution?
No. A webhook improves routing and traceability, but execution depends on the terminal, broker, account rules, market conditions and risk settings.
Is this financial advice?
No. TheConnector routes webhook signals and shows their statuses. You keep control of the broker, accounts, strategy, volumes and risk; no financial advice or execution guarantee is provided.
