Automation Overview

Automation depends on the trading platform and bridge used. For most users, TradingView alerts are bridged to prop-firm platforms using TradeLocker, MetaTrader 4/5, or NinjaTrader 8 integrations.

  • TradingView → TradeLocker: Best for instant execution with FunderPro and FXIFY.
  • TradingView → MetaTrader 5: Ideal for firms like Blue Guardian or My Forex Funds.
  • TradingView → NinjaTrader: Used for Apex or futures-based automation setups.
