How TradeAdapter works
From TradingView alert → validation → routing → execution. This page explains the full pipeline in plain English.
High-level pipeline #
-
Signal
An indicator/strategy triggers in TradingView and fires an alert with your message payload.
-
Receive
TradeAdapter receives the webhook, parses the fields, and checks formatting.
-
Validate & normalize
We validate required fields, normalize symbols, and apply account rules (sizing, allowed sides, etc.).
-
Route
The trade is routed to a direct broker/exchange API or to MetaTrader (MT4/MT5) via the TradeAdapter EA.
-
Execute & log
The order is executed and logged so you can verify the result in the portal and your broker/terminal.
Where orders go #
Routing is either direct API (broker/exchange) or MetaTrader (MT4/MT5). For how to choose and set up each route, see Supported Platforms & Brokers.
