Install bridge & EA
Run the Windows bridge app and attach TradingView Trade Automation on MT4 or MT5. Both platforms use the same shared Common\Files queue.
TradingView → MetaTrader 4 & 5
Automate your charts.
Own the bridge forever.
TradingView Bridge runs on your Windows PC — alerts flow from TradingView to MT4 or MT5 in milliseconds. One-time payment. No monthly bridge subscription. No TradingView Pro required for webhooks.
- ✓ Pay once, use for life
- ✓ Signals stay on your machine
- ✓ Any MT4 / MT5 broker & prop firm
The problem
Cloud bridges charge forever.
TradingView charges for webhooks.
Services like PineConnector work well — but at $39–$159 per month, every year. That is $468–$1,908 before you count TradingView Pro for alert webhooks.
You want TradingView’s charts and MetaTrader execution — without renting access to your own automation.
The TradingView Bridge way
- Lifetime license — activate once on your PC
- Built-in TradingView window — capture alerts locally, no Pro plan required
- Private by design — no cloud relay of your trade signals
- MT4 & MT5 experts — full risk panel on MT5; core automation on MT4

How it works
Three steps. You stay in control.
Setup takes about 30 minutes. After that, start the bridge before your session — same as leaving MetaTrader open.
Sign in to TradingView
Open the built-in TradingView browser inside the bridge. Create alerts on your chart — paste a simple message like buy,{{ticker}}.
Trade automatically
When your alert fires, the bridge queues the signal and the EA executes on your broker — with optional SL/TP, lot sizing, and symbol mapping.
Features
Everything you need to go live — nothing you do not.
🖥️

📐
Simple alert syntax
buy,EURUSD,vol_lots=0.02,sl_pips=40,tp_pips=80 — or use {{ticker}} from TradingView.

Traders
Built for people who hate subscriptions
“I was paying for a cloud bridge and TradingView Pro. Switching to a lifetime license paid for itself in four months.”
“Setup took one evening. The built-in TradingView window was the selling point — I use the free plan.”
“Symbol mapping fixed my broker’s weird gold symbol. Alerts hit MetaTrader faster than my old webhook setup.”
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need TradingView Pro?
No. The bridge includes a built-in TradingView browser that captures your alerts locally. You do not need TradingView’s webhook URL or a paid TradingView plan for that path.
Is this really a one-time payment?
Yes. Single and Multi are lifetime licenses for the current major version of the software. There is no monthly bridge subscription.
Which brokers work?
Any broker that offers MetaTrader 4 or 5 — including prop firms (FTMO, FundedNext, etc.), ECN, and standard accounts. Use the symbol map if names differ.
Do I need to keep Chrome or TradingView open?
Keep the bridge app running (with its TradingView window available). MetaTrader 4 or 5 must be open with the expert attached and AutoTrading enabled. You do not need a separate browser tab.
Can I run it on a VPS?
Yes — Windows Server 2019/2022 or Windows 10/11 with MT4 and/or MT5 installed. Many traders run bridge + MetaTrader on a VPS near their broker for 24/5 execution.
What is the difference between Single and Multi?
Single allows one active MT4/MT5 account at a time (you choose which terminal in the bridge). Multi lets every MT4 and MT5 instance on that PC execute signals.
Does it work on Mac or Linux?
No. The bridge requires Windows (WebView2). MetaTrader for Mac cannot run these experts — use a Windows PC or VPS.
How do I get my license key?
After purchase, you receive a license key by email. Open the bridge → License tab → paste the key. For Single, send your Activation ID at checkout so the key is bound correctly.
