Automated-trading infrastructure, operated by PineConnector.

💡
PineConnector Edge is currently in Early Access.

Running trading automation on your own computer or VPS means keeping the machine, MT5 terminal, and PineConnector EA running and maintaining that setup yourself.

PineConnector Edge takes care of that hosted environment for you. We host and maintain MT5 and the PineConnector EA, so you do not need to keep your own computer or VPS running.

Your strategy and alerts remain on TradingView, and you stay in control of your trading instructions and broker account. Manage your Edge connection directly from the PineConnector Portal, without a separate remote-desktop setup.

PineConnector EA only: Edge does not support custom or other third-party EAs. If your setup requires additional EAs, use PineConnector on your own computer or VPS.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to connect your first MT5 trading account to Edge. Before you begin, have your MT5 account login, password, and broker server name ready.

Your hosted environment is now set up. Before using live automation, send a test alert from TradingView to a demo account and verify that the expected trade appears in your broker account.

After setup, use the Connections, Bridge, and Edge pages in the PineConnector Portal to view account information, test your connection, and manage your hosted MT5 environment.
