PineConnector Edge

Managed MT5 Hosting, Included in Current PineConnector Plans

PineConnector Edge is managed MT5 hosting included in current Core, Plus and Pro plans. Edge is available now, in early access. PineConnector runs the MetaTrader 5 terminal on its own infrastructure, so traders do not need a VPS or a computer left on. You bring your own broker account and your own strategy, and PineConnector runs the machine underneath them. That distinction is worth stating plainly: Edge is managed infrastructure, not managed execution.

Why Edge exists

Your strategy stops when your laptop does

A trading setup that lives on your own machine inherits every one of that machine's bad days. The lid closes. Windows restarts for an update at three in the morning. The power flickers, or home internet drops for ninety seconds. The alert fires into nothing, and you find out hours later.

A VPS is a second product to learn

Plenty of traders discover partway through setup that MetaTrader wants a Windows machine. What began as connecting TradingView to a broker turns into choosing a virtual private server, comparing providers, sizing one, learning remote desktop, patching it, and restarting a terminal that died overnight while you were asleep. None of that is trading. It also means coordinating a connector service and a hosting service. Check which installation, maintenance and recovery tasks your VPS provider includes.

Mac users have been stuck with workarounds

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 do not run natively on macOS. Mac traders have had three options: a compatibility layer, a Windows partition to reboot into, or renting a Windows machine in the cloud. All three are workarounds, and each one adds something else to maintain.

Most people have a job during market hours

The traders who most need automation are usually the ones who cannot sit in front of a chart. A setup that only runs while you are awake and at your desk is not really automation. And for a lot of traders the point was never the technology in the first place: it was executing their own rules the same way every time, without talking themselves out of one.

What PineConnector Edge is

PineConnector Edge is managed MT5 hosting included in current Core, Plus and Pro plans. Instead of running MetaTrader 5 on your own computer or on a VPS you rent, PineConnector runs it on its own infrastructure, and you control it from the PineConnector portal.

  • You bring your own broker account. PineConnector does not select trades, manage money or hold funds.
  • You bring your own strategy. Your rules, your entries, your risk.
  • You control the instance from the portal. Manage the supported instance and inspect its status and logs there. There is no remote desktop to log into and nothing to install for the hosted path.
  • You can change the EA settings. The EA Settings tab shows the settings your hosted terminal runs, lets you change them, and tells you whether the saved settings are the ones it is actually running. Applying a change restarts the terminal, so signals pause for about a minute.
  • You can copy exact symbol names. The Symbols tab lists every symbol your broker offers, searchable, with the specification for each one, so the exact symbol name goes straight into your alert instead of being retyped from the terminal.
  • Mac is a first-class path. The hosted path does not care what computer you own.
  • Hosted instances run in London, UK or Virginia, US. Both regions are available on every current plan.

Edge is managed infrastructure, not managed execution. PineConnector is responsible for the machine your terminal runs on. You remain responsible for what that terminal is told to do. Your broker relationship, your funds and every trading decision stay entirely yours.

There is a limitation worth putting up front rather than burying. Only PineConnector's own execution component runs on Edge, so a third-party Expert Advisor cannot run on a hosted instance. Edge is also MetaTrader 5 only. If you trade on MetaTrader 4, or you depend on someone else's EA, you keep running your own terminal, which PineConnector supports the way it always has.

Edge combines PineConnector's alert routing and its supported hosted MT5 environment in one plan. A Windows VPS gives you broader software freedom, with support and management according to the provider's service. If PineConnector's MT5 workflow covers the whole job, Edge can remove a separate VPS bill and Windows desktop to administer.

How it works

  1. Choose a plan

    Current Core, Plus and Pro plans include 1, 3 and 5 hosted MT5 instances respectively, within their 3, 10 and 25 total connections. Eligible members can try Core for 7 days for $7, then $59/month unless they cancel.

  2. Connect your broker account

    You add the MetaTrader 5 login for the account you want to trade, from the PineConnector portal. The account is opened by you, in your own name, at the broker you chose.

  3. Check your symbols and settings

    Copy the exact symbol names for your alerts from the Symbols tab, and review the EA settings your terminal runs in the EA Settings tab before your first test alert.

  4. Your strategy runs on PineConnector's infrastructure

    Your TradingView alerts reach your hosted terminal, and that terminal places the orders at your broker. It keeps running when your own computer is off.

What each plan includes

Current Core, Plus and Pro plans include the hosted allowance shown below. Each hosted MT5 instance uses one of the plan's total connections.

Plan Price Total connections / hosted MT5 included Location
Core $59 / month 3 total / 1 hosted London, UK or Virginia, US
Plus $129 / month 10 total / 3 hosted London, UK or Virginia, US
Pro $199 / month 25 total / 5 hosted London, UK or Virginia, US

Prices in US dollars, billed monthly.

  • Hosted instances count towards your connection limit. Plus includes 10 connections, including 3 hosted MT5 instances. Run the other 7 on your own PC or VPS.
  • The hosted allowance is included. There is no separate server fee for those included MT5 instances. Other trading services and any self-hosted environment costs are separate.
  • You can try Core for 7 days for $7. After 7 days, Core renews at $59/month unless you cancel. One trial per member, for members without an Edge plan. While it runs, your plan shows as Edge Core (Trial) with the date the trial ends.
  • Your price is locked while you stay subscribed. If PineConnector raises prices later, active subscribers keep the price they signed up at, indefinitely. This applies company-wide, not just to Edge.

Have a legacy subscription? Check its Edge access and hosted allowance in Portal before changing your setup. The table above describes current Core, Plus and Pro plans.

About your broker credentials

This is the question traders ask first about any hosted setup, so here is a direct answer rather than a badge.

To run MetaTrader 5 for you, Edge needs the MetaTrader 5 login for the account you choose to connect. There is no way around that: a terminal that cannot log in cannot place your orders. So the useful questions are what happens to those details, and what you can do about it.

What is stored
The MetaTrader 5 login for each account you choose to connect.
How it is protected
Credentials are encrypted in transit and at rest, and your instance is isolated to you rather than shared with other traders.
What it is used for
Logging your terminal into your broker so it can act on the signals you send. That is the entire purpose.
What PineConnector does not do
PineConnector does not hold your funds. Your money stays in your own brokerage account, in your own name, at the broker you chose. PineConnector does not pick your trades and does not trade on your behalf.
How you stay in control
Use the instance controls in Portal to manage the hosted terminal. You can change the account password at your broker to revoke that login.

If that is a trade you would rather not make, PineConnector still works the way it always has, with the terminal on your own machine. Edge is included, not required.

What Edge is not

  • Not a broker. You keep your own broker relationship and your funds stay with them.
  • Not a signal service. PineConnector does not tell you what to trade.
  • Not managed money. Nobody at PineConnector makes trading decisions for you.
  • Not a strategy. Edge runs your rules. It does not supply any.
  • Not a host for third-party Expert Advisors. Only PineConnector's own execution component runs on hosted instances.
  • Not a MetaTrader 4 product. Hosted instances run MetaTrader 5.

Frequently asked questions

Is PineConnector Edge available now?

Yes. PineConnector Edge is available now in early access in London, UK and Virginia, US. Current Core, Plus and Pro plans include hosted MT5 instances. Each hosted instance uses one of the plan's total connections.

Can I try Edge before paying the monthly price?

Yes. Members without an Edge plan can try Core, with 1 hosted MT5 instance and 3 connections, for 7 days for $7. After 7 days it renews at $59/month unless you cancel. The trial is available once per member and only on Core. While it runs, your plan shows as Edge Core (Trial) with the date the trial ends.

What is PineConnector Edge?

PineConnector Edge is managed MT5 hosting included in current Core, Plus and Pro plans. PineConnector runs MT5 with its own EA on its infrastructure, so you do not need a separate VPS or a computer left on for the supported hosted workflow. You bring your own broker account and your own strategy.

Do I still need a VPS with PineConnector?

Not for MT5 instances covered by your plan's included Edge hosting. Connections beyond that hosted allowance run on your own PC or VPS. Use a suitable self-hosted environment if you need MT4, additional EAs or other Windows software. On a legacy subscription, check Edge access in Portal before changing your setup.

Can I run MetaTrader 5 on a Mac?

Yes. With PineConnector Edge, MetaTrader 5 runs on PineConnector's infrastructure instead of on your computer, so macOS users do not need Parallels, Boot Camp or a rented Windows machine. Mac is a fully supported path with Edge.

Does Edge cost extra?

There is no separate server fee for the hosted MT5 instances included in current Core, Plus and Pro plans. Core includes 3 total connections and 1 hosted MT5, Plus 10 and 3, and Pro 25 and 5. Each hosted instance uses one connection. TradingView subscriptions, broker charges and any separate self-hosted setup costs are not included.

What happens if I turn off my computer?

Your hosted MT5 instance runs independently of your computer. It does not stop because your computer sleeps or loses power or internet. The hosted terminal, alerts and broker connection still need to work correctly; hosting does not guarantee that every instruction produces a trade.

Do I have to give PineConnector my broker login?

Yes. To run MetaTrader 5 for you, PineConnector Edge needs the MetaTrader 5 login for the account you choose to connect, because a terminal that cannot log in cannot place your orders. Those credentials are encrypted in transit and at rest, and your instance is isolated to you. PineConnector never holds your funds. Use the instance controls in Portal to manage the hosted terminal. Because the broker account is yours, you can also change its password at the broker to revoke that login.

Which regions can I run in?

Hosted PineConnector Edge instances are available in London, UK and Virginia, US on every current plan.

Can I change the EA settings on a hosted instance?

Yes. The EA Settings tab for your instance in the PineConnector portal shows the settings your hosted terminal runs and lets you change them. Applying a change restarts the terminal, so signals pause for about a minute, and the tab tells you whether the saved settings are the ones the terminal is actually running.

How do I find the exact symbol name my broker uses?

Open the Symbols tab for your instance in the PineConnector portal. It lists every symbol your broker offers, searchable, with the specification for each one, and lets you copy the exact symbol name straight into your TradingView alert instead of retyping it from the terminal. Symbol names are case-sensitive and can differ between account types at the same broker.

Can I run my own EA on Edge?

No. Only PineConnector's own execution component runs on hosted Edge instances, so third-party Expert Advisors are not supported there. If your strategy depends on a third-party EA, run PineConnector on your own machine or your own VPS instead.

Can I switch between hosted and self-hosted?

Yes. Current Core, Plus and Pro plans allow supported hosted and self-hosted connections within the total connection limit. Check your hosted allowance and any legacy-plan access in Portal, then plan a handover that avoids duplicate active receivers.

What happens to my price if PineConnector raises prices?

Active subscribers keep the price they signed up at. If PineConnector raises prices later, existing subscriptions stay at their original price for as long as they remain active. This grandfathering policy applies company-wide.

Is PineConnector trading on my behalf?

No. PineConnector Edge is managed infrastructure, not managed execution. PineConnector runs the machine your MetaTrader 5 terminal sits on. Your strategy, your broker, your account and every trading decision remain yours.

Which brokers are supported?

Edge supports MetaTrader 5 accounts on supported broker servers. Check the supported brokers and servers in the Edge guide, and match your exact server in the PineConnector portal, before subscribing. You open the brokerage account yourself, in your own name, and connect it to your hosted instance.

Does Edge work with MetaTrader 4?

No. Hosted PineConnector Edge instances run MetaTrader 5. MetaTrader 4 traders continue to run their own terminal on their own machine or VPS, which PineConnector supports as it always has.

Current Core, Plus and Pro plans include hosted MT5 within their respective allowances. Try Core for 7 days for $7, connect a demo account to your hosted instance, and move up when you need more connections. After 7 days, Core is $59/month unless you cancel.
