How to Create Automated Forex Signals with PineConnector

In the fast-moving world of forex trading, automated forex signals can give you a serious edge. Thanks to PineConnector, traders can now convert TradingView indicators into real-time, automated forex signals that execute directly in MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) — with no complex coding required.

Whether you want to automate your own strategy or send signals to clients, this step-by-step guide will show you how to create automated forex signals using PineConnector.

🔧 What You’ll Need
To get started, you’ll need:
✅ A TradingView Pro (or higher) account

✅ A PineConnector subscription

✅ A MetaTrader 4 or 5 account (connected to your broker)

✅ PineConnector Expert Advisor (EA) installed in MT4/MT5

✅ Basic knowledge of Pine Script (we’ll keep it beginner-friendly)

Step 1: Choose or Create a Forex Strategy in TradingView

You can either use a built-in indicator, a custom Pine Script, or write your own signal logic.
✅ Example: Simple RSI-Based Signal
pinescript


//@version=5

indicator("RSI Forex Signal", overlay=true)
rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)

longCondition = ta.crossover(rsi, 30)
shortCondition = ta.crossunder(rsi, 70)

if (longCondition)
    alert("buy EURUSD 0.1 sl=30 tp=60", alert.freq_once_per_bar)

if (shortCondition)
    alert("sell EURUSD 0.1 sl=30 tp=60", alert.freq_once_per_bar)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This script sends a buy signal when RSI crosses above 30 and a sell signal when it crosses below 70.
✅ Tip: Replace EURUSD with any pair you're trading. You can also make this dynamic by using syminfo.ticker for multi-symbol alerts.

Step 2: Set Up the Alert in TradingView

Click the 🔔 Alert button or right-click the chart and choose “Add Alert.”

Set Condition to: Any alert() function call.

Check Webhook URL and paste your PineConnector endpoint:

https://pineconnector.com/endpoint
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Leave the message box blank (PineConnector reads from the alert() function in your script).

Create the alert.

Step 3: Configure PineConnector in MT4 or MT5

  1. Open your MetaTrader platform (MT4/MT5).
  2. Attach the PineConnector EA to the chart(s) you want to trade.
  3. In the EA settings:
  • Enter your PineConnector API key.
  • Enable Allow live trading.
  • Make sure AutoTrading is turned on.

🔁 PineConnector receives the webhook from TradingView and instantly places trades in your MT4/MT5 platform.

Step 4: Test Your Automated Signal

Once your setup is complete, do a test run:

  • Change chart settings to trigger a signal condition.
  • Watch for a webhook being fired in TradingView.
  • Confirm the trade opens in MT4/MT5 via PineConnector.

💡 Use a demo account first to test everything before going live.

Bonus: Send Signals to Multiple Clients

Want to run a signal service?
With PineConnector:
You can send signals to multiple MT4/MT5 accounts by running the EA on each terminal.

  • You control the logic centrally via one TradingView script.
  • Perfect for signal providers or managed account traders.

Now, you’ve turned TradingView alerts into fully automated forex signals in MetaTrader — without writing a full Expert Advisor.
