TradingView Webhook to MT4/MT5: Complete Setup Guide 2026

TradingView is the world's most popular charting platform, used by millions of traders for technical analysis. With webhooks, you can automatically execute your TradingView alerts on MT4, MT5, cTrader, and other platforms.

What is a TradingView Webhook?

A webhook is a way for TradingView to send data to an external service when an alert triggers. Instead of just getting a notification, the webhook can execute trades automatically.

How It Works

1. You create an alert in TradingView (from indicator or Pine Script)
2. When the alert triggers, TradingView sends a JSON message to a webhook URL
3. The webhook receiver (Social Trade Hub) parses the signal
4. The trade is executed on your connected broker account

Benefits of TradingView Webhooks

• Automate any strategy: If you can code it in Pine Script, you can automate it
• No EA required: Don't need MetaTrader EAs - just TradingView alerts
• Multi-platform: Execute on MT4, MT5, cTrader, or crypto exchanges
• Cloud-based: Works 24/7 without VPS or keeping TradingView open

Setting Up TradingView Webhooks with Social Trade Hub

Step 1: Get Your Webhook URL

In Social Trade Hub dashboard:

1. Go to TradingView section
2. Copy your unique webhook URL
3. Keep this URL private - anyone with it can send trades

Step 2: Create Your TradingView Alert

In TradingView:

1. Right-click on chart → Add Alert (or press Alt+A)
2. Set your condition (indicator signal, price level, etc.)
3. In 'Notifications' tab, enable 'Webhook URL'
4. Paste your Social Trade Hub webhook URL
5. Configure the alert message (see format below)

Step 3: Configure Alert Message Format

Social Trade Hub accepts JSON-formatted alert messages:

{
  "action": "buy",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "ticket": "{{strategy.order.id}}",
  "price": {{close}},
  "sl": {{plot("SL")}},
  "tp": {{plot("TP")}}
}

Supported Actions

Required Fields

• action: The type of order (see table above)
• ticket: Unique identifier for the position
• symbol: Trading symbol (for open orders)

Optional Fields

• price: Entry price (for limit/stop orders)
• sl: Stop loss price
• tp: Take profit price (or tp1, tp2, tp3 for multiple)

Pine Script Integration

Example Pine Script strategy with webhook-ready alerts:

// Entry signal
if buyCondition
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long)
    alert('{"action":"buy","symbol":"'+syminfo.ticker+'","ticket":"'+str.tostring(strategy.opentrades)+'"}', alert.freq_once_per_bar)

// Exit signal  
if sellCondition
    strategy.close("Long")
    alert('{"action":"close","symbol":"'+syminfo.ticker+'","ticket":"'+str.tostring(strategy.opentrades)+'"}', alert.freq_once_per_bar)

TradingView Variables

• {{ticker}}: Symbol name (EURUSD, BTCUSD, etc.)
• {{close}}: Current close price
• {{open}}, {{high}}, {{low}}: Candle prices
• {{time}}: Alert timestamp
• {{strategy.order.id}}: Strategy order ID
• {{plot("Name")}}: Value of a named plot

Symbol Mapping

TradingView symbols may differ from your broker. Configure mapping in Social Trade Hub:

• BTCUSD → BTCUSDT (for crypto)
• XAUUSD → GOLD (for some brokers)
• US30 → DJ30 or US30.cash

Troubleshooting

Alert Not Triggering Trades

• Verify webhook URL is correct
• Check JSON format is valid
• Ensure symbol exists on your broker
• Verify account has sufficient margin

Wrong Symbol

• Configure symbol mapping in dashboard
• Check broker's exact symbol naming

Delayed Execution

• TradingView webhooks have slight delay (1-3 seconds)
• For time-critical strategies, consider direct API integration

TradingView Plan Requirements

Webhooks require TradingView Pro, Pro+, or Premium subscription. The free plan does not support webhooks.

Conclusion

TradingView webhooks open up powerful automation possibilities. Combined with Social Trade Hub, you can execute your Pine Script strategies on any supported broker - MT4, MT5, cTrader, or crypto exchanges - without needing a VPS or keeping TradingView open.
