How to Automate TradingView Alerts on RoboForex (MT4 and MT5)

Last updated · By the TradingView Link team
Short answer

RoboForex has no TradingView connection of its own: TradingView's broker pages cover RoboMarkets instead, and RoboForex's web platform can't run EAs. To automate alerts, send each one as a webhook to a bridge, and an EA in your RoboForex MT4 or MT5 terminal places the order. Index names look like .US500Cash.

We make TradingView Link, an EA bridge. We aren't affiliated with RoboForex and earn nothing from the links on this page. Every RoboForex detail below comes from RoboForex's own website, checked November 2026. Terms differ by country, so confirm them in your RoboForex Members Area.

Can you connect a RoboForex MT4 or MT5 account to TradingView?

Not to TradingView's trading panel. RoboForex's platforms are MT4, MT5, R StocksTrader and its own RoboForex Trading Platform, and none of their pages mentions TradingView. Two more details matter here:

A TradingView alert only sends a message, so the account that trades your alerts is a RoboForex MetaTrader account with our EA in it. That's allowed: RoboForex says it doesn't make its own robots, but you can trade "with an Expert Advisor (EA)" from third-party providers. Use magic numbers if several strategies share one account.

Which RoboForex account and platform should you use?

A ProCent, Pro, ECN or Prime account on MT5 or MT4. Here's how RoboForex's platforms fit with TradingView Link:

R StocksTraderRoboForex's own web platform, with a strategy builderNo: it isn't MetaTrader, so our EA can't run

RoboForex's accounts page lists four MetaTrader account types, each from a 10 USD deposit. They differ in pricing and leverage:

ECNFrom 0 pipsUSD 20 per USD 1 million traded, per side1:500
PrimeFrom 0 pipsUSD 10 per USD 1 million traded, per side1:300

Which symbol names does a RoboForex account use?

RoboForex's contract specifications keep forex pairs and gold under their usual names, such as EURUSD and XAUUSD. The index CFDs are where alerts go wrong: each name starts with a dot and ends in Cash, so a TradingView chart of the S&P 500 is SPX, but the order has to name .US500Cash.

How do you size alerts on a ProCent account?

ProCent is the account RoboForex labels "for algo testing", and sizes work differently on it. From its ProCent page:

Test sizes on a ProCent demo account before going live.

How do you write the alert for a RoboForex symbol?

The message is the same as for any broker, with your RoboForex symbol in it. Line 1 is your webhook password, and each line after it is one command:

YourWebhookPassword
long EURUSD q=0.1 sl=300 tp=600

sl and tp are distances in points, your broker's smallest price step. On a 5-digit EURUSD quote, 10 points make one pip, so sl=300 is a 30-pip stop. Gold and indices use a different step, so check the digits in Market Watch before you set a stop on them. To close the position:

YourWebhookPassword
flat EURUSD

The numbers above are only an example, not a recommendation; q=0.1 also clears ProCent's MT4 minimum. For a Pine Script strategy, make the RoboForex symbol an input, so the chart can stay on SPX while the order goes to .US500Cash:

//@version=6
strategy("EMA cross to RoboForex", overlay = true)

// Your RoboForex symbol, copied from Market Watch
brokerSymbol = input.string(".US500Cash", "RoboForex symbol")

fast = ta.ema(close, 9)
slow = ta.ema(close, 21)

if ta.crossover(fast, slow)
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, alert_message = "long " + brokerSymbol + " q=0.1")
if ta.crossunder(fast, slow)
    strategy.close("Long", alert_message = "flat " + brokerSymbol)

Then create one alert on the strategy, with this message:

YourWebhookPassword
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}

How do you connect TradingView to RoboForex, step by step?

  1. Get a TradingView plan with webhooks, which start at Essential, and turn on 2-factor authentication, which TradingView requires for webhook alerts. Our plan comparison has the details.
  2. Register a RoboForex Members Area, then open a trading account, choosing the account type and MT4 or MT5. On MT5, check whether the account uses hedging or netting (see below).
  3. Install the terminal from RoboForex's download page and log in to your account's server, such as RoboForex-ECN or RoboForex-Pro, which RoboForex's server list names.
  4. Create a webhook in TradingView Link, then install the EA, allow WebRequest and DLL imports, and attach it to one chart, as in the MT5 guide or the MT4 guide.
  5. Copy your symbol names from Market Watch into your alerts.
  6. Keep the terminal running on a PC or VPS: our VPS guide explains when you need one.
  7. Test on a demo account of the same type, with the same symbols and sizes, before you go live. Every RoboForex account type offers a demo.

Can RoboForex's free VPS run the EA?

Probably not. RoboForex has two VPS offers, and each has a catch for a bridge EA:

A Windows VPS from a hosting company has neither limit.

What else should you check before automating on RoboForex?

What does it cost?

Trading leveraged products is risky: RoboForex says 75.85% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with it. This page summarizes RoboForex's public website as of 14 November 2026, and it isn't financial advice. TradingView Link isn't affiliated with RoboForex, RoboMarkets, TradingView or MetaQuotes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I connect TradingView to RoboForex?

Not through a RoboForex connection on TradingView: RoboForex's site lists none, and TradingView's broker pages cover RoboMarkets instead. To trade your alerts automatically, send them as webhooks to a bridge, and an EA in your RoboForex MT4 or MT5 terminal places the orders.

Is RoboForex the same as RoboMarkets on TradingView?

No. RoboForex Ltd is regulated by the FSC of Belize, and RoboForex's website sends retail clients in Europe to RoboMarkets Deutschland GmbH, regulated by BaFin. TradingView's RoboMarkets connection is for RoboMarkets accounts, not RoboForex MT4 or MT5 accounts.

Can I run an EA on the RoboForex Trading Platform?

No. RoboForex's help centre says Expert Advisors on its WebTrader and MobileTrader platform are "not available at present". You can log in to MT4 and MT5 accounts there, but run our EA in the MetaTrader 4 or 5 terminal.

What is the S&P 500 called at RoboForex?

.US500Cash, with a leading dot. RoboForex also names the Nasdaq 100 .USTECHCash, the Dow Jones .US30Cash, the DAX .DE40Cash and the Nikkei 225 .JP225Cash, on Pro, ECN and Prime accounts, while gold stays XAUUSD. Copy the name from Market Watch, dot included.

Why didn't my alert open a trade on a ProCent MT4 account?

Check the size first. RoboForex's smallest ProCent order is 0.1 lot on MT4 and 0.01 lot on MT5, so an alert with q=0.01 is too small for MT4. ProCent also counts money in cents: a 10 USD deposit shows as 1,000 US cents.

Can RoboForex's free VPS run the TradingView Link EA?

Probably not. RoboForex says its VPS can reach only RoboForex's own servers and websites, and the EA has to reach our server. Its free MT5 offer is MetaQuotes hosting, which forbids the DLL calls our EA needs.

Does RoboForex allow EAs and hedging?

Yes. RoboForex says you can trade with an Expert Advisor from a third-party provider, though it doesn't make its own. Its MT5 page lists both hedging and netting.

What does RoboForex charge per trade?

Pro and ProCent have no commission, with spreads from 1.3 pips. ECN charges USD 20 per USD 1 million traded, per side, which is USD 4 for a round-turn lot of USDJPY, and Prime charges USD 10 per million. Both have spreads from 0 pips.
