TradingView automation
TradingView connects to some brokers, but that link is for placing orders by hand. It will not execute a Pine strategy for you. Automation runs through alerts instead. Your strategy or indicator fires an alert, the alert sends a webhook, and PineHook turns the message into an order on MT5 or cTrader.
The alert message is a short command, such as buy EURUSD with a stop and a target. The docs list every command. The posts here cover the platform side, starting with the choice between MT5 and cTrader, and what to check when an alert does not fire or its webhook fails.
