Algorithmic trading platforms like MetaTrader have become all the rage among traders who desire speed and efficiency. Traders using TradingView and MetaTrader want to link their MT4 or MT5 broker accounts for sending trading signals directly. Auto-execution is a far more advanced way of doing things when it comes to automating one's trades. This article discusses sending alerts from TradingView to MT4/5 using MetaConnector, the bridge for seamless integration. 


Understanding TradingView and MT4/5

Before describing how signals can be sent from TradingView to MT4/5, we should briefly explore both applications:

TradingView is well-known for its powerful charting features, a rich collection of technical indicators, and a user-friendly interface. It enables traders to study market trends, detect patterns, and conduct in-depth technical analysis.


MetaTrader (MT4 and MT5) is the platform of choice for the execution of trades. MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) offer traders an array of order execution tools, real-time market information, and technical analysis. With its powerful infrastructure, MetaTrader is the choice of traders across the globe.

  • Get real-time alerts from TradingView and send them to MT4/MT5.
  • Automate trade executions directly through MetaTrader.
  • Streamline the trading workflow by reducing the need to switch between platforms.
