Overview

This documentation explains how to set up TradingView alerts to work with the MT5 Bridge. The system allows you to execute trades directly from TradingView alerts to your MetaTrader 5 platform.

You need an active API key to use the webhook service. Generate one from your client portal.

How It Works

  1. Create a strategy or indicator in TradingView
  2. Set up alerts with webhook URLs
  3. TradingView sends HTTP POST requests to our webhook
  4. The bridge processes the request and sends commands to MT5
  5. MT5 executes the trades based on your strategy

Key Features

Fast Execution

Execute trades directly from TradingView alerts to your MT5 platform in milliseconds.

Secure Connection

API key authentication ensures only authorized signals are processed by your account.

Multiple Order Types

Support for market, limit, stop orders with stop loss and take profit parameters.

Magic Number Filtering

Use magic numbers to identify and manage specific groups of orders efficiently.

Webhook Setup in TradingView

1

Get Your Webhook URL

Your webhook URL is available in the client portal. It looks like this:

https://www.connect-tradingview/tradingview-webhook.php?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY
2

Create an Alert in TradingView

  1. Go to your TradingView chart
  2. Create an alert on your indicator or strategy
    TradingView Alert Creation

    Creating an alert in TradingView

  3. In the alert settings, select "Webhook URL"
  4. Paste your webhook URL

    Configuring webhook URL in TradingView

Make sure to select "Once Per Bar Close" if you're using close prices to avoid duplicate orders.
3

Test Your Alert

You can test your webhook connection using the test tool in the client portal or by manually sending a request:

curl -X POST https://yourdomain.com/tradingview-webhook.php?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"action":"buy","symbol":"EURUSD","price":1.0850,"volume":0.1}'

JSON Message Format

TradingView alerts should send JSON-formatted messages. Below are the supported fields and formats.

volume No* Trade volume (default: 0.1) 0.1
sl No Stop loss price 1.0800
tp No Take profit price 1.0900
comment No Order comment "EMA crossover"
magic No Magic number for order identification 12345

* Volume is required for buy/sell actions, not for close actions. Default is 0.1 if not specified.

TradingView Pine Script Syntax

Below is an example Pine Script strategy that can be used with the webhook bridge.

//@version=5
strategy("MT5 Webhook Strategy", overlay=true, margin_long=100, margin_short=100)

// Input parameters
webhook_id = input.string("your_api_key", title="Webhook ID")
fast_length = input(title="Fast MA Length", defval=20)
slow_length = input(title="Slow MA Length", defval=60)

// Calculate indicators
fast_ma = ta.sma(close, fast_length)
slow_ma = ta.sma(close, slow_length)

// Trading logic
long_condition = ta.crossover(fast_ma, slow_ma)
short_condition = ta.crossunder(fast_ma, slow_ma)

if (long_condition)
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
    alert_message = '{ "webhook_id": "' + your_api_key + '", "action": "buy", "symbol": "' + syminfo.ticker + '", "price": "' + str.tostring(close) + '", "volume": 0.1, "magic": 12345 }'
    alert(alert_message, alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)

if (short_condition)
    strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short)
    alert_message = '{ "webhook_id": "' + your_api_key + '", "action": "sell", "symbol": "' + syminfo.ticker + '", "price": "' + str.tostring(close) + '", "volume": 0.1, "magic": 12345 }'
    alert(alert_message, alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)

// Plot indicators

Secure authentication using your unique API key to prevent unauthorized access to your trading account.

Magic Number Filtering

Use magic numbers to identify and manage specific groups of orders, making position handling more precise.

Flexible Position Handling

Choose how the EA handles opposite positions: close only if profitable, always close, or manual management.

Auto Symbol Selection

The EA automatically detects symbols from webhook signals, eliminating the need to attach it to every chart.

Pro Tip

Use TradingView's built-in variables like {{ticker}}, {{close}}, and {{interval}} to make your alerts dynamic and responsive to market conditions.
