If your TradingView sell/buy orders do not reach MT4, you are not the only one. Thousands of traders have the same problem while trading at TradingView with MT4 via a bridge like MetaConnector. The issue is usually caused by a small mistake in the configuration—wrong webhook URL, incorrect MT4 login, disabled algorithmic trading, or blocked signals.
The good news?
These issues are easy to fix once you know where to look.
We here present you with a comprehensive explanation of each scenario along with corresponding solutions so that the various aspects of your TradingView-MT4 relationship, like trading strategies, automatic trading systems, and copy trading setups, work without a hitch.
When you make a buy/sell order on TradingView, it does not simply go to MT4.
The pathway is as follows:
TradingView Alert → Webhook → MetaConnector → MT4 Broker Account
If any of these steps along the chain fail, your trade will not be executed.
Let’s address it one step at a time.
Your bridging software—such as MetaConnector—handles the alert sending from TradingView to MT4.
Webhook URL
MT4 Login Details
Make sure you are logged into MT4 with:
Keep MetaConnector & MT4 Running
If the bridge is not operational, orders will not be executed.
For maximum efficiency, run MetaConnector + MT4 on a VPS for continuous 24/7 automated trading.
For automated trading, MT4 has to be set properly such that it does not block any orders.
Algo Trading Enabled
To get there:
Tools → Options → Expert Advisors
You should click on the following buttons:
If it is red, all automated trades will be turned down by MT4.
In case orders are then working, add MetaConnector and MT4 to the whitelist.
The problem is not always connection; it may be the trading strategy or Pine Script that needs fixing.
Take a look at the following:
Order Type is Correct
Set alerts precisely for:
Enough Money
If your MT4 account has a low balance or free margin, MT4 will not accept any orders.
Instant Order Placement
For Stop Orders:
Switch ON: Instant Order Placement
This eliminates “Invalid Price” errors when the price is very close to the current market.
Lot Size Correct
If your alert sends a wrong lot size (e.g., 10 lots on a small account), MT4 will reject it.
If you use MetaConnector, you get:
MetaConnector ensures your trading strategies, automated trading systems, and TradingView alerts execute without delays.
| Issue | Fix |
Orders not reaching MT4 | Check Webhook URL |
Bridge not working | Restart MetaConnector |
Wrong MT4 credentials | Re-enter account + server |
Algo Trading disabled | Turn ON in MT4 |
Firewall blocks | Whitelist MT4 & MetaConnector |
Invalid order parameters | Correct lot size, price, type |
No funds | Deposit or reduce lot size |
In case the buy/sell orders from TradingView are not reaching MT4, the issue is generally minor—such as a wrong Webhook URL, disabled Algo Trading, firewall blocks, or inaccurate broker account details. By following the aforementioned steps, your TradingView strategies and automated trading systems will operate without any issues with MT4 via MetaConnector.
