We adapted a popular PineScript on TradingView, created by KivancOzbilgic, to be compatible with PineConnector. The strategy can be used to trade forex, stocks, futures, crypto and other instruments.

We recommend that paper trading should be done first, before running on your live trading accounts. With this script, an alert will be automatically trigger and will execute a trade on your MT4/5 terminal when your terminal is connected to our server – ideal if you are day trading or swing trading.

1. Create a new script

At the bottom of your TradingView tab, click "Pine Editor".

At the bottom panel, click "Open" and then click "New blank indicator".
