Webhook / API bridge

Trading webhook API — connect any platform or bot to MT5 and cTrader

Anything that can send an HTTP request can trade through AeronPilot: TradingView, a Python script, a scanner, a signal service or your own app — all routed to MT5 and cTrader with risk checks on every order.

Key facts about AeronPilot

  • AeronPilot connects TradingView, custom scripts and external bots to MetaTrader 5 and cTrader through a webhook bridge.
  • cTrader runs cloud-to-cloud through the official Open API — no cBot and no VPS required.
  • In internal testing, a webhook reached a filled broker order in under 0.5 seconds (webhook-to-fill), separate from TradingView's own alert-dispatch time.
  • One license covers multiple trading accounts (from 1 to 12 depending on the plan), with per-symbol broker mapping.
  • Every order passes a server-side risk firewall — lot caps, daily-loss limits, trade pacing and pause-after-losses — enforced before it reaches the broker.
  • Built-in protections include a prop firm guard (drawdown and daily-loss tracking), an economic news guard and spread/slippage guards.
  • The no-code Bot Builder assembles strategies from 26+ indicators and patterns and generates ready-to-use Pine Script.
  • A 15-day demo trial validates the full pipeline before paying, and legacy comma-separated alert syntax is accepted so most existing bridge alerts only need their webhook URL changed.

One webhook endpoint, any signal source

AeronPilot exposes a personal webhook URL per account route. Post a small JSON payload — action, symbol, volume, optional SL/TP — and the platform validates it, applies your protections, and executes on MetaTrader 5 or cTrader.

The payload format is deliberately simple and PineConnector-style syntax is also accepted, so migrating an existing setup usually means changing one URL.

  • TradingView: paste the generated message into any alert.
  • Custom code: send the JSON from Python, Node.js, Google Sheets scripts, Zapier-style tools — anything with HTTP.
  • Signal services: give each strategy its own route key and track it separately.

Built for real money, not just demos

  • Authentication: every request carries your license key, route key and secret; HMAC signatures are supported.
  • Idempotent delivery: duplicated or replayed alerts are deduplicated, and stale orders (delivered after a connection cut) are expired instead of executed late.
  • Risk firewall: lot caps, daily loss and drawdown limits, news filter, spread and slippage guards run before any order reaches your broker.
  • Full diagnostics: each signal shows its parse result, every guard decision and the broker fill, with per-leg latency.

Multi-account routing

A route can target one account or several: send one signal and execute it on N accounts (copy-trading style), or keep strategies isolated per account. Symbol mapping translates your canonical symbols to each broker's naming (see why broker suffixes break alerts).

Frequently asked questions

What does the webhook payload look like?

A minimal JSON object with action (buy, sell, close), symbol, volume and your identifiers, plus optional SL/TP in ticks. A legacy comma-separated format compatible with PineConnector-style messages is also accepted.

Can I send orders from my own script or app?

Yes. Any language or tool that can make an HTTPS POST request can trade through your webhook: Python, Node.js, cURL, no-code automation tools, and so on.

How are my webhooks secured?

Each route has its own key and secret, requests can be HMAC-signed, and routes only execute on the accounts you explicitly assign. Every request is logged.

What happens if the same alert is delivered twice?

Signals carry an idempotency ID and the execution layer deduplicates by command, so a retried webhook does not open a duplicate position.
