PineConnector Echo

PineConnector Echo is a Google Chrome extension designed to elevate your trading experience by seamlessly linking your TradingView platform with your MetaTrader 4/5 account. This powerful tool allows you to perform manual trading actions directly from TradingView, providing a robust alternative to relying solely on automated signals.

With Echo's intuitive and user-friendly interface (UI), you gain the flexibility to execute buy or sell trades manually, ensuring that you maintain precise control over your trading strategies and decisions.

Background

Over the years, we've talked to countless retail traders and learned about the frustrations they face every day—switching between platforms, managing multiple accounts, and dealing with unreliable alerts. These insights motivated us to create PineConnector Echo, a solution designed to streamline trading, save time, and make the entire process more reliable and efficient.

Problems We Are Trying to Solve:

1. Inefficient Manual Trading Workflow: Many traders use TradingView for chart analysis, but their brokers are on MetaTrader. This means traders must constantly switch between TradingView for analysis and MetaTrader for execution, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and inefficient—especially for those managing multiple accounts and trading short timeframes.
2. Position Management Challenges: Monitoring and managing positions is inconvenient, as traders need to frequently switch to MetaTrader to check their account status. Having all relevant account information directly accessible within TradingView would make the process far more efficient.
3. Intermittent Alert Issues: Traders often face reliability issues with TradingView's alert webhooks, leading to delayed or missed signals. These inconsistencies can significantly impact trading outcomes, reducing overall effectiveness.

PineConnector Echo Features

In response to these challenges, we designed Echo with the following core features:

1. Execute Trades Directly from TradingView: Place trades without switching platforms. On TradingView, determine your desired risk (or volume), stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels, and hit buy or sell — and your corresponding position will appear on MetaTrader accounts.
2. Manage Trades in Real Time: Monitor and manage all trades from a centralized dashboard on TradingView. Add or adjust SL/TP levels or close positions directly from the Echo UI, simplifying position management and eliminating the need to switch to MetaTrader.
3. Recover Missed TradingView Signals*: Monitor alert logs to ensure no signals are missed, automatically generating missed actions to tackle alert reliability issues.

*This feature is not available in the current Echo Preview v1.0.2.

Using Echo

Before You Trade

Keep the following key points in mind before placing trades with Echo:

1. Trade Execution Across All Instances: In the current preview (v1.0.2), any trade triggered through Echo will be sent to all instances associated with your License ID.

Example: If you have 2 instances connected, the trade will execute on all 2 accounts simultaneously.



2. Active Chart Symbol: The trade symbol is determined by the active chart in your browser. Check the name of the tab in Chrome to confirm the active chart. If you have multiple charts open, make sure to click on the chart corresponding to the symbol you intend to trade.

Example: If you are viewing the EURUSD chart and press Buy, Echo will trigger a buy order for EURUSD across all connected accounts, based on your specified SL, TP, and risk settings.

Triggering Entries (Buy/Sell)

To place a trade using PineConnector Echo, follow these steps:

1. Select the Active Chart

Ensure that the chart for the symbol you wish to trade is active. The active chart is displayed by the symbol shown in the TradingView tab.

2. Set Risk, SL, and TP Values

• Risk: Enter a risk value greater than 0 (e.g., 0.01, 1.23). This field is required.
• Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP): Set these levels if desired (optional).

3. Place the Trade

Once the chart and parameters are set, click Buy or Sell in the Echo UI to trigger the order for the active symbol across all your connected accounts.

4. Confirm the Trade

After placing the order, the trade will be displayed in:

• The Echo interface.

• The signal log in your PineConnector Portal.

• The Trade tab in your MetaTrader terminal.

• The Experts tab in your MetaTrader terminal.

Trade Confirmation: Once a trade is initiated through Echo, it will appear in the Echo interface, your signal log in the PineConnector Portal, and in the Experts tab of your MetaTrader terminal.

Modifying SL and TP

1. Access the Modification Tool

To modify your position’s Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP), click on the edit icon under the Action column next to the position you wish to modify.

2. Specify New SL and TP Values

A pop-up window will appear, allowing you to adjust either the Stop Loss (SL) only, the Take Profit (TP) only, or both. After configuring the new values, click Modify to apply the changes.

Note: The SL and TP values will be updated based on your EA's Target Type setting (pips, percentage, or price), using the latest market price.

Closing Trades

1. Close a Position

To close a specific position, click the X button under the Action column next to the trade you wish to close. This will send a close command to your connected MetaTrader account.

Once the position is closed, it will be removed from the list of active trades in Echo and reflected in your MetaTrader terminal.

Multi-Instance/Account

In this section, we’ll showcase how PineConnector Echo seamlessly supports multi-instance setups, allowing traders to manage multiple MetaTrader accounts simultaneously from a single TradingView chart.

Whether you're running multiple strategies or managing different accounts, PineConnector Echo simplifies the process, ensuring fast and accurate trade execution across all instances.

Limitations (& Roadmap)

The current preview of PineConnector Echo has several features still in development or under consideration for future updates. Below are some known limitations and features that are in our development roadmap:

• Selective Instance Execution: At present, Echo sends trades to all instances associated with your License ID, and you cannot choose specific instances or licenses. The ability to select which instances to send trades to is on our development roadmap.
• SL and TP Modification: Currently, modifying SL and TP is limited to the target type set in MetaTrader. Future updates will include an enhancement allowing adjustments directly within Echo’s modification pop-up, providing more control and flexibility.
• Trade Comments: The ability to customize trade comments is not yet available, with comments currently restricted to the signal ID and account number. We plan to introduce customizable comments in a future update.
• Pending Orders: Echo currently supports only market orders. Support for pending orders will be included in upcoming releases, simplifying the testing and order setup process.
• Symbol Mapping: Echo does not currently offer a symbol mapping feature or a template for mapping broker-specific symbol changes. We are working to implement this functionality in a future release.

If you have any suggestions or experience any issues, please share your thoughts with us so we can prioritize and enhance the features that matter most to you.
