Today, many traders have started using TradingView for its advanced charting features, custom indicators, and alert systems. However, to fully realize the trading experience, TradingView Alerts combined with MetaTrader through MetaConnector can bring it to another level. This article covers how TradingView Alerts work, what types of alerts you could use with them, and how MetaConnector can help bridge the gap between TradingView and MetaTrader so you can trade in a seamless, automatic way.
TradingView Alerts are alerts or notification signals from one or more rather defined market conditions or price movements. Price levels, indicators, or even custom scripts written in Pine Script can form grounds for conditions that can make alerts. Thus, alerts are beneficial to traders since they do not have to monitor the chart always, thus notifying them once there is an opportunity worth trading.
Trigger the price of selected assets to a certain level. The most primary type of alert is very useful to traders in signaling for certain price movements.
Trigger to the condition that a specific indicator—RSI, moving averages, or MACD—meets. These alerts are important because they derive their importance from trading strategies that depend on technical analysis.
Through Pine Script, alerts can be created based on any number of user-defined conditions. This gives flexibility alert by alert, some to be formidably complex and some to be very simple.
These are alerts under the settings of either chart patterns or lines drawn on the chart. For instance, you can set an alert when the price touches a trendline or a support/resistance level.
This is an advanced-type alert interconnected to external applications. With Webhooks, MetaConnector calls alerts from your account directly to perform needed automated trading with the touched condition.
MetaConnector is software that effectively bridges TradingView Alerts to MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5). It listens to TradingView alerts and automatically triggers trades on MetaTrader. In short, MetaConnector takes your TradingView alert and, instead of notifying you, also triggers an order in your MetaTrader account.
So, if you set a TradingView alert for the price of an asset reaching certain levels or for an indicator condition to trigger an event, MetaConnector takes that signal and makes the appropriate order into MetaTrader—all without hassle on your part.
