In simple English
This tool copies your trades from TradingView directly into MetaTrader 5 automatically. A browser extension reads your strategy tester results on TradingView. It sends the buy or sell signal to a local program running on your computer. That program talks to MetaTrader 5 to open the trade on your broker account. You do not need a paid TradingView plan or expensive webhooks to make it work. It costs nothing to run and stays entirely on your local machine.
What it is
An open-source trading automation bridge consisting of a Python server, a Chrome extension, and a MetaTrader Expert Advisor. It detects signals from your browser and executes them on your desktop trading platform in under half a second.
What it is good for
Solo traders and builders who want to automate their TradingView strategies on MetaTrader 5 without paying for cloud servers or premium subscription tiers.
- Runs entirely on your local machine with no cloud dependency or subscription fees.
- Delivers fast execution with under 500 milliseconds of end-to-end latency.
- Supports dynamic stop-loss, take-profit, and lot size parameters directly from your strategy code.
- Requires Windows OS because MetaTrader 5 desktop is built for Windows.
- Demands that your TradingView tab remains open and visible in Chrome for the extension to work.
- Carries substantial financial risk if automated strategies fail or misbehave on live broker accounts.
