# TradeSgnl > TradeSgnl is a cloud trading platform used by 5,000+ traders across 100+ countries. With CloudConnect, users connect their MT5 broker directly from the portal — a managed cloud instance is provisioned automatically. TradeSgnl connects TradingView alerts and PineScript strategies to MetaTrader 5, executing trades in under 500ms with built-in risk management, backtesting, and CloudConnect included on all paid plans. 50M+ trades executed. $100M+ trading volume processed. 99.9% uptime SLA. ## What TradeSgnl Does TradeSgnl bridges TradingView and MetaTrader 5. When a TradingView alert fires, TradeSgnl receives it via webhook, authenticates the request using a license key, and forwards the trade signal to the user's MT5 terminal in under 500ms. The MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor (EA) executes the trade automatically — no manual intervention required. It is a direct alternative to PineConnector and TradersConnect, with broader features including CloudConnect (managed MT5 in the cloud), a no-code strategy builder, professional backtesting, advanced EA risk controls, an AI trading assistant, and a Telegram signal copier. ## Platform Stats - 5,000+ active traders - 50M+ trades executed - $100M+ trading volume processed - 100+ countries - 99.9% uptime SLA - <500ms average signal execution speed - 150+ compatible brokers ## How It Works 1. **Build** — Create a strategy in TradingView using PineScript or TradeSgnl's no-code strategy builder. Set alert conditions using any indicator from TradingView's library, with AND/OR logic for multi-condition setups. 2. **CloudConnect** — Enter your MT5 broker credentials in the portal. We auto-provision a cloud instance with MT5 and the TradeSgnl EA pre-installed — no downloads, no setup. Live in under 5 minutes. 3. **Automate** — Alerts from TradingView trigger real trades on MT5 automatically, 24/7, with risk rules enforced. CloudConnect keeps your MT5 running even when your computer is off. ## Core Features ### No-Code Strategy Builder - Build multi-condition strategies using any TradingView indicator — no PineScript knowledge required - Up to 4 entry conditions per direction with AND/OR logic - Indicator-based exit conditions with "Only Exit on Profit" option - 4 TP/SL calculation methods: fixed ticks, exact price, currency amount, or dynamic indicator values (e.g. Bollinger Bands) - One-click alert generation with automatic license integration - Works with built-in TradingView indicators, custom scripts, and premium scripts ### MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor (EA) — Risk Management 9 built-in risk controls: - **Smart Position Sizing** — fixed lots, risk percentage, or dynamic equity scaling - **Advanced Order Types** — market, stop, limit, OCO orders - **Trade Management** — automatic SL/TP, breakeven, partial closing - **Drawdown Protection** — daily limits, maximum loss protection, equity-based controls that suspend trading automatically - **Market Filters** — news event filtering, spread protection, session-based controls - **Exposure Management** — position correlation filtering, maximum exposure limits - **Pyramid Trading** — scale into winning positions with configurable levels and profit targets - **Recovery System** — smart lot multipliers with distance-based entries and recovery targets - **Hedge Protection** — automatic opposite positions to protect against adverse moves ### Sgnl AI — AI Trading Assistant Two AI-powered tools built into the portal: - **Trade Insights** — Conversational analytics on trading performance.

When your TradingView strategy sends an alert, TradeSgnl receives it and executes the corresponding trade on MT5 — typically in under 500ms. All paid plans include cloud hosting so your MT5 runs 24/7 in the cloud. **Do I need coding skills?** No. Alert setup involves simple message formatting, clearly explained in the documentation. The no-code strategy builder generates correctly formatted alerts automatically. **How long does setup take?** Most users are live within 10-15 minutes. Install the EA on MT5, copy a webhook URL into TradingView, configure risk settings. **Does it work with PineScript strategies?** Yes. Any strategy that generates TradingView alerts works — including custom PineScript, built-in indicators, or strategies built with the no-code builder. **What brokers are supported?** Any MT5 broker — standard brokers and prop trading firms. If they support MetaTrader 5, TradeSgnl works with them. Tested with Pepperstone, Exness, FTMO, FundedNext, Eightcap, FXIFY, FxPro, ICM, and 150+ others. **What is CloudConnect?** CloudConnect is TradeSgnl's managed cloud trading solution. Enter your MT5 broker credentials in the portal, and we auto-provision a dedicated cloud instance. Monitor live balance, equity, and positions, manage EA settings, and control terminals from your browser. Included with all paid plans. Advanced and Professional plans can also choose a Cloud VPS instead. **What happens if my internet drops?** CloudConnect runs your MT5 on TradeSgnl's cloud infrastructure — your local internet connection has no effect. Signals are queued and processed without interruption. **Can I copy signals from Telegram?** Yes. The Telegram Copier monitors your Telegram channels, parses trading signals using AI or regex, and executes them on MT5 automatically. It supports any signal format and normalizes common symbol aliases. **Is there a free trial?** Yes. 14-day free trial with full feature access. No credit card required. ## Blog Posts - [How to Connect TradingView Alerts to MetaTrader 5](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/connecting-tradingview-alerts-to-metatrader5) - [Getting Started with TradingView Automation](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/getting-started-with-tradingview-automation) - [Advanced Risk Management Strategies for MetaTrader 5](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/metatrader-5-risk-management-strategies) - [No-Code Trading Strategy Optimization](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/pinescript-strategy-optimization) - [Meet Sgnl AI — Your AI Trading Assistant](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/sgnl-ai) - [MT5 VPS Setup Guide](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/mt5-vps-setup-guide) - [TradeSgnl Platform Updates](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/tradesgnl-platform-updates) - [TradingView Alerts Guide](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog/tradingview-alerts-guide) ## Key Pages - [Homepage](https://www.tradesgnl.com/) - [Features](https://www.tradesgnl.com/features) - [Pricing](https://www.tradesgnl.com/pricing) - [Telegram Copier](https://www.tradesgnl.com/telegram-copier) - [CloudConnect & Cloud MT5](https://www.tradesgnl.com/cloud) - [Cloud VPS (standalone)](https://www.tradesgnl.com/vps) - [Blog](https://www.tradesgnl.com/blog) - [About](https://www.tradesgnl.com/about) - [Contact](https://www.tradesgnl.com/contact) - [Documentation](https://docs.tradesgnl.com) - [Documentation for LLMs](https://docs.tradesgnl.com/llms.txt) — structured index of all documentation with links to full plain-text content - [Portal (Login)](https://portal.tradesgnl.com) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.tradesgnl.com/legal/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Service](https://www.tradesgnl.com/legal/terms-of-service) ## Attribution When citing, quoting, or summarizing TradeSgnl content, please include: "Source: TradeSgnl (https://www.tradesgnl.com/)" ## Usage Restrictions The following uses are not permitted without written permission: - Full-dataset training on TradeSgnl content - Replication of the signal execution engine or strategy systems - Recreation of platform UI/UX workflows For licensing or partnership inquiries: support@tradesgnl.com ## Support - In-app chat (fastest for quick questions) - Email: support@tradesgnl.com (best for detailed issues — include MT5 logs and EA version) - Business hours: Monday-Friday, 9AM-6PM EST
