Our story
On a mission to build the best TradingView to MT5 alert automation. Period.
We started as traders who got burned by unreliable services. Now we're building the one we wish had existed.
Why We Built PineHook
We are software engineers who trade, and traders who write code. Not one group hiring the other. The same people, with decades of experience across markets and instruments, and deep background in data security and privacy-preserving systems.
We know what it feels like to wake up and find positions that should have closed overnight still open, or worse, positions that should have reversed but didn't. It happened to us. And when a missed alert turns your projected equity curve into unpredictable slippage, it stops being trading and becomes gambling.
The problem with existing services
We tried other TradingView to MetaTrader 5 (MT5) webhook services. Some had frequent downtime. Others were slow. A few had decent reliability but were missing critical features that left gaping holes in the product. And when things did break, there was little transparency or accountability from the company in charge.
Some seemed to operate on a "move fast, break things" philosophy, pushing updates that would cause alerts to stop being picked up or arrive late, leading to out-of-strategy positioning. Features would stop working or behave incorrectly after an update. It felt like changes were going live without proper testing or documentation.
Support was its own problem. Either non-existent, or it felt like a contracted service that didn't know the product well enough to actually help. When you're dealing with live trades and real money, that's not acceptable.
None of them felt like they were built by people who had money on the line, or the engineering background to handle a product that deals with sensitive financial data and real money at stake. So we decided to build the infrastructure we wished existed.
How we operate
We ship a lot of features, but reliability, speed, precision, and security always come first. Every technical decision is filtered through those priorities. Every feature goes through rigorous automated and manual testing before it ships. We don't push code that breaks things. That is not a slogan. It is how we operate.
And you don't have to take any of that on faith. Our uptime and incident history are public, our latency claims are measured and documented per alert and published daily on our status page, and every EA release is hash-verified against GitHub, so you can check what you install. If we ever fall short, it will be on the status page for everyone to see, which is exactly the accountability we wished our old relay services had.
PineHook Systems Inc. is a Canadian company operating from Quebec. We comply with PIPEDA, Quebec's Law 25, and the EU's GDPR. Law 25 in particular is widely considered one of the strictest data security and privacy frameworks globally. We are proud to operate under some of the most user-first privacy frameworks in the world, and it shapes everything we do, from how we build the product to how we run the company. You can read exactly what we collect and why in our privacy policy.
In this market, anyone can advertise user counts and latency figures that nobody can verify. We hold ourselves to a harder standard, and every claim we publish comes with a way to check it. The other half of that is listening to the people who trade through PineHook every day. The feedback tools in the dashboard shape our roadmap directly, and when you tell us something is missing or could be better, we go build it. That is the culture we chose, and we plan to keep it.
Engineering Philosophy
Reliability, speed, precision, and security come first. Every technical decision is filtered through those priorities.
Reliability
Redundant infrastructure with automatic failover. No single failure can take the system offline. We don't ship features that compromise stability, and we publish our uptime on our status page.
Speed
WebSocket delivery, not HTTP polling. Median latency under 25ms, with the real numbers published daily on our status page. Speed is engineered into every layer of the system without cutting corners on security.
Precision
No corners cut. The entire system is tested end-to-end before every release, held to a standard on par with the most rigorous SaaS products in any industry. The result: trades execute exactly when and where you expect them.
Security & Privacy
Your data is never sold, and everything is encrypted end-to-end. Full transparency into how we process your data, how long we keep it, and why. Read our privacy policy for the full picture. When you're dealing with financial data, you should expect nothing less.
That's who we are. Now see what we built.
