TradingView is where many traders build their setups — but TradingView can't place trades on MetaTrader. A webhook bridges the gap: your alert fires, TradingView POSTs it to TradeJournal Pro, and we execute it on MT4, MT5, or cTrader in milliseconds.
How it works
- You create an alert (manual or from a Pine strategy) in TradingView.
- In the alert, you set a webhook URL that points to TradeJournal Pro.
- When the alert triggers, TradingView sends the message to us.
- We parse it and place the trade on your connected broker account.
Step 1 — Get your webhook URL
Open the TradingView webhook wizard in the app. It generates a unique, secured URL for your account and shows you the exact message format to paste into the alert.
Step 2 — Format the alert message
You can send plain text ("BUY XAUUSD SL 30 TP 60") and let the AI parse it, or send structured JSON for precise control:
{
"action": "buy",
"symbol": "XAUUSD",
"sl_pips": 30,
"tp_pips": 60,
"risk_percent": 1
}
Step 3 — Set risk and execution
- Choose execution: your own MT4/MT5 (EA) or cloud (no PC/VPS).
- Auto position sizing, circuit breakers, spread/news filters.
- Symbol mapping so your broker's exact symbol is used.
Step 4 — Test with dry-run
Fire a test alert and watch it parse in preview/dry-run mode before going live. Once it looks right, enable live execution.
Security
The webhook URL is unique and signed — only your alerts can trigger your account. You can rotate it any time.
Common use cases
- Execute a Pine Script strategy live, hands-free
- Bridge a manual chart alert to MetaTrader
- Combine TradingView entries with prop-firm risk guards
FAQ
Does it work with free TradingView? Webhooks require a paid TradingView plan (their limitation, not ours).
