Signal Authentication is a security mechanism that ensures the secure transmission of trading signals from TradingView to MetaTrader by validating each signal with your secret key. Only alerts containing the correct key are executed.

Symbol Mapping enables you to effortlessly convert incoming symbol names from TradingView to those used by your broker — for example, mapping BTCUSD to BTCUSD.x or any broker-specific naming convention.

TradingView has a limit of 15 alert triggers per 3 minutes. If your alert exceeds this frequency, TradingView will automatically disable it to prevent overloading.

Yes — your trading accounts can be on separate computers or VPS instances.

No — only your MetaTrader has to be running. TradingView alerts are processed via webhook on PineConnector's cloud infrastructure (built on Microsoft Azure).

Yes. PineConnector EAs work with VPS environments running:

• Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022
• Windows 10 or 11

Make sure your VPS provider allows DLL imports.

Looking for a guaranteed-compatible VPS? Consider the PineConnector VPS (from $30/month). To find the optimal VPS location for your broker, use the VPS Location Checker.

This usually means you're on an unsupported OS. Use Windows Server 2016/2019/2022 or Windows 10/11.

Older versions including Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 are not compatible. If you need a compatible VPS, see the PineConnector VPS.

Either works. PineConnector is compatible with both the default MetaTrader and broker-supplied versions.

No. You only need 1 instance on any timeframe and any symbol — this lets your MetaTrader terminal connect to our server. With 1 license and 1 instance, you can trade all symbols in your symbol list.

Use the Pyramiding EA feature. See the EA Guide for configuration details.

PineConnector processes your trade volume in two stages:

1. Determine the target lot size

Based on the Volume Type setting in the EA inputs:

• Fixed Lot size sent in your TradingView alert, OR
• A lot size we calculate based on your setting (Dollar Amount, % of Balance, % of Equity Loss, etc.)

2. Validate and adjust

1. Min/Max check: If the target is below the broker's Minimum Lot or above the Maximum Lot for that symbol, the order is rejected (reason logged in MetaTrader's Experts log).
2. Lot Step rounding: If within limits, the volume is rounded to match the broker's required Lot Step. Example: with Lot Step 0.01, a target of 0.029 becomes 0.03.

The Signals Log provides a detailed record of every trading signal received, with exact timestamps showing when each signal arrives at your MetaTrader terminal — giving complete transparency to track, verify, and review all signals.

You can find the Signal ID in the order's comments section, provided you haven't replaced the default comment with your own using comment=. A Signal ID may include both letters and numbers, for example 006AF or 6623.

The Alerts log is at the bottom right corner of your TradingView terminal, with Alerts selected in the right vertical column.

Multi-instance signals is when you have multiple trading accounts connected to a single License ID. Sending an alert to that License ID replicates the trade instructions to all connected trading accounts simultaneously — perfect for traders managing multiple accounts or running prop firm challenges.

Yes. We take data privacy and security seriously. PineConnector only collects what's necessary to convert TradingView alerts into MetaTrader trades:

• Your TradingView alert message sent to our server
• Your trading account number
• Your trading account name

We do NOT collect your broker login details, account balance, historical positions, or currently open positions.

Our infrastructure is built on Microsoft Azure, ensuring enterprise-grade security and reliability.

PineConnector processes over 200,000 signals daily with typical end-to-end latency under 1 second.

Based on data from 300,000+ signals (MT5 EA v3.42), here's the latency breakdown:

1. Server processing: ~16ms (median)
2. Network transit to MetaTrader: ~131ms (median)
3. EA processing: 100-200ms (depends on your computer specs and EA configuration)
4. Broker order execution: 1-100ms (depends on broker infrastructure)

For consistent latency under 10ms, use a VPS located near your broker's servers.

While external webhook delivery times (e.g. from TradingView) are beyond our control, our infrastructure is engineered to be fast, reliable, and scalable on Microsoft Azure.

Several reasons can cause price or quote differences between TradingView and MetaTrader:

• Data feed differences: TradingView and MetaTrader may use different data feeds with slight variations.
• Spreads: Brokers have different spreads, leading to slight quote differences.
• Execution delay: A delay on one platform can make prices appear different.
• Market volatility: Prices fluctuate rapidly — values may not be identical at the same moment even with the same data feed.

Slight differences are normal and not cause for alarm.

Repainting refers to the difference in script behavior when running in real-time compared to historical prices. It's widespread and stems from many factors. More than 95% of indicators repaint, including commonly used ones like MACD and RSI — they show different values on historical and real-time bars.
