Getting started
Pair MetaTrader 5, paste your webhook, and route your first TradingView alert in under ten minutes.
Overview
TransisTrade sits between TradingView and MetaTrader 5. You paste a webhook URL into TradingView; every alert is validated, mapped to your broker symbols, sized per your lot settings, and executed by the EA — typically in under 200 ms.
This guide uses TradingView as the signal source and MetaTrader 5 as the execution destination.
- A MetaTrader 5 account (demo or live) with algorithmic trading enabled.
- A TradingView plan that supports webhook alerts (Pro or higher).
- A TransisTrade account — sign in with email OTP at the login page.
1. Pair an MT5 terminal
Open the setup wizard or go to Connections and add a terminal. Download the EA from Downloads, install it in MT5, and enter the pairing code shown in the dashboard.
Once the EA sends a heartbeat, the terminal shows as online. Plan limits apply: Starter 1 terminal, Pro 25, Scale unlimited.
2. Get your webhook URL
In the dashboard sidebar footer, copy your Webhook URL and 7-digit Account ID. The ingest endpoint looks like:
POST https://hooks.transistrade.com/v1/ingest/{your_token}We never print your personal URL in these docs — it contains a secret token. Only copy it while signed in.
3. Wire up TradingView
In your TradingView alert, paste the webhook URL and use this JSON message (map strategy actions to buy, sell, or flat):
{
"symbol": "{{ticker}}",
"side": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
"comment": "{{strategy.order.comment}}",
"secret": "1234567"
}Lot size is not sent on the webhook — configure it per symbol under Connections → your terminal → symbol row.
4. Send a test alert
Trigger the alert. Open Bridge → Logs or your terminal's activity feed. You should see the signal within seconds. If MT5 was offline, the signal is rejected (not queued) with reason no_terminal — resend after the EA reconnects.
