MetaTrader 5 Recommended For the best user experience, we recommend using MT5 instead of MT4 if your broker or prop firm supports it. MT5’s more modern architecture offers enhanced performance and improved EA connection stability.

💡
What’s the difference between WebRequest and Webhook URL?
  • WebRequest URL: Used only in the MT4/MT5 setup to allow MetaTrader to communicate with PineConnector. Add this URL in MetaTrader’s settings.
  • Webhook URL: This is the URL to send alerts from TradingView to PineConnector, triggering trades on your MetaTrader terminal.

In Short: Use WebRequest for MT4/MT5 setup and Webhook to send alerts.
