MetaTrader 5 setup
TradingView Webhook to MT5: Step-by-Step Setup.
Use Synnectra to receive TradingView webhook alerts, validate the signal, apply MT5 account rules, and execute orders through your connected MetaTrader 5 terminal.
Setup sequence
Four checks before your first MT5 execution.
Add the webhook URL
TradingView alerts should point to https://synnectra.com/webhook with a supported Synnectra message body.
Map symbols and size
Translate TradingView symbols into broker-specific MT5 symbols and define lot sizing rules before live trading.
Enable risk controls
Use daily loss limits, max trades, cooldowns, and news windows to control automated MT5 execution.
Watch notifications
Send signal errors, connection loss, and trade activity to email, Telegram, or Discord.
Review analytics
Use the dashboard to review execution history, equity curve, win rate, and risk exposure.
MT5 alert example
Keep the message explicit.
Use fixed keys so the bridge can parse the alert reliably and reject anything that does not match your rules.

- Test on a demo or low-risk account before routing to a live MT5 account.
- Use symbol mapping if your broker uses suffixes such as .a, .raw, or .cash.
- Use risk sizing only when the stop-loss distance is present and correct.
- Check dashboard errors before editing strategy logic.
Connect TradingView webhooks to MT5 with guardrails.
Start with a controlled test, then add copier groups, prop firm limits, and news filters.
