How the TradingView to MT5 bridge works
AeronPilot is a webhook bridge between TradingView and MetaTrader 5. When your TradingView alert fires, TradingView calls your personal AeronPilot webhook URL. The signal is validated (license, symbol, risk rules), then pushed to the AeronPilot EA running on your MT5 terminal, which places the order at your broker.
- Create your free account and get your webhook URL, route key and secret.
- Install the AeronPilot EA on MetaTrader 5 (Windows installer, or WebRequest mode on Mac).
- Paste the generated alert message into your TradingView alert — done.
Typical end-to-end latency is well under a second, and every step is measured on your Execution Quality dashboard: TradingView to server, server to EA, EA to broker.
What you can automate
- Indicator alerts: RSI, moving average crosses, custom Pine Script indicators.
- Strategy alerts: any Pine strategy with order fill alerts.
- No-code bots: build entry and exit rules in the Bot Builder — SL, TP, trailing stop, break-even, time filters — and get ready-to-paste Pine code with your webhook already wired in.
- Manual trading: fire buy/sell orders from the AeronPilot dashboard.
Why traders pick AeronPilot over a DIY bridge
- Works with any MT5 broker — symbol mapping handles broker suffixes (EURUSDm, XAUUSD.r, BTCUSDr...).
- Risk firewall on every signal: max lot size, daily loss limit, spread and slippage guards, economic news filter, prop firm drawdown protection.
- One license, several accounts: route one strategy to one account, or copy it to many.
- Full audit trail: every signal, block reason and fill is logged with timestamps.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code to connect TradingView to MT5?
No. You paste a ready-made JSON message into your TradingView alert and attach the AeronPilot EA to your MT5 chart. The Bot Builder can even generate complete Pine Script strategies without writing a line of code.
Does it work with any MT5 broker?
Yes. AeronPilot executes through the MetaTrader 5 terminal itself, so any broker that offers MT5 works. Broker-specific symbol suffixes are handled by the built-in symbol mapper.
How fast are orders executed?
The full path — TradingView alert, server validation, EA execution — typically completes in a few hundred milliseconds. Your dashboard shows the measured latency of every leg for every trade.
Can I test on a demo account first?
Yes, and we recommend it. The free trial runs on demo accounts, so you can validate your whole pipeline before going live.
