Welcome to PineHook
Connect TradingView alerts to MetaTrader 5 in milliseconds, with queuing, deduplication, and automatic failover built in.
What is PineHook?#
PineHook is a signal relay that connects TradingView alerts to your MetaTrader 5 terminal via WebSocket. Signals are authenticated, deduplicated, and delivered in a sub-25ms median, with the real last-7-day numbers published daily on the status page.
If your EA disconnects briefly, signals are queued and delivered when it reconnects. If a server goes down, your EA automatically reconnects to a healthy node. Signal delivery is designed to be reliable under real network conditions, not just ideal ones.

99.9% Uptime
Multiple load-balanced servers with automatic failover. If a node goes down, your EA reconnects to a healthy one in seconds with no data loss and no manual intervention.
