What Is WebhookTrade?
WebhookTrade is a cloud-based connector that links TradingView alerts to MetaTrader for automated trade execution. It supports MT4, MT5, and Capital.com. The platform handles the webhook relay without requiring you to set up a dedicated server - TradingView sends the alert, WebhookTrade forwards it to your broker.
WebhookTrade includes useful features like breakeven functionality (automatically moves your stop-loss to entry after reaching a profit target), trailing stops, and Telegram mobile notifications for trade status updates. The platform works with free or Pro TradingView accounts and offers a 3-day free trial.
What Is TradeSgnl?
TradeSgnl is a fully cloud-based TradingView automation platform that goes beyond signal relay, trading on MT5, cTrader, TradeLocker, and the Binance, Bybit and OKX crypto exchanges (spot). For MT5, you connect your broker in the dashboard and a CloudConnect is provisioned automatically - running 24/7 in the cloud, accessible from any browser. A dedicated Cloud VPS with full RDP access is available as a paid add-on.
The platform includes a no-code strategy builder, professional backtesting suite, real-time analytics with 50+ metrics, an AI-powered Telegram signal copier, Sgnl AI for conversational analytics and strategy generation, and 15+ risk management features built into the MT5 EA.
Both platforms take a cloud-based approach to TradingView automation, but with very different levels of depth. Here's a quick look at when each makes the most sense.

The nuance between 'cloud signal relay' and 'cloud trading platform' is important. Here's a deeper look at how that difference plays out in practice.
Signal Relay vs Full Cloud Platform
Both platforms are cloud-based, but there's an important distinction. WebhookTrade is a cloud relay - it forwards signals from TradingView to your MetaTrader terminal. But your MT5 still needs to be running somewhere, whether on your computer or a separate VPS you manage yourself.
TradeSgnl hosts your MT5 in the cloud for you. When you connect your broker in the dashboard, a CloudConnect is set up automatically. You get both the signal relay and a 24/7 MT5 environment in one subscription - no separate VPS cost or management required.
Feature Depth
WebhookTrade focuses on clean, reliable webhook relay with some in-trade management features (breakeven, trailing stops). TradeSgnl provides a much deeper feature set: no-code strategy builder, professional backtesting with Monte Carlo analysis, real-time analytics dashboard, AI tools, Telegram signal copier, and 15+ risk management features.
For traders who want more than just webhook forwarding, here's where TradeSgnl's complete platform approach provides the most value over WebhookTrade.
