The Symbol Mapping feature enables you to effortlessly convert incoming symbol names from TradingView to those used by your broker. This means that when you receive a trading signal with a symbol from TradingView, it is automatically converted to the corresponding symbol your broker uses. This is especially useful when switching between brokers with different symbol configurations, as it eliminates the need to delete and recreate your TradingView alerts.

How Symbol Mapping Works

Symbol Mapping allows you to specify how symbols from TradingView are translated into broker-specific symbols. For example, TradingView may send a signal for EURUSD, but your broker might require the symbol to be i.EURUSD.micro. Symbol Mapping automatically converts the symbol so the signal is processed correctly by MetaTrader.

Setting Up Symbol Mapping

  1. Go to the Signals Tab on PineConnector Portal: Visit the Signals tab in your PineConnector Portal.
  2. Click on Signal Modifier Tab: Select the "Signal Modifier" tab located at the top left.
  3. Turn Symbol Mapping On: Ensure that Symbol Mapping is enabled in the Signals section.
  4. Add a New Symbol Mapping: Click "Add Symbol" to create a new mapping row. This will allow you to specify how TradingView symbols should be translated.
  5. Enter the "From" and "To" Fields: In the "From" field, enter the symbol as it appears in TradingView (e.g., EURUSD). In the "To" field, enter the corresponding symbol used by your broker (e.g., i.EURUSD.micro).
  6. Save the Configuration: Once you've set up your desired symbol mappings, click "Save" to apply the configuration.

Example: Mapping EURUSD to i.EURUSD.micro

  1. Enable Symbol Mapping in the PineConnector Portal.
  2. Click "Add Symbol" to create a new mapping row.
  3. In the "From" field, enter EURUSD, and in the "To" field, enter i.EURUSD.micro.
  4. Click "Save" to finalize the configuration.
  5. Now, when an incoming signal for EURUSD is received from TradingView, it will automatically be converted to i.EURUSD.micro and sent to your MetaTrader terminal. This converted symbol will also be displayed in your Signal Log.

Best Practices for Using Symbol Mapping

  • Ensure you are using the correct symbol format by referring to your MetaTrader Symbols List. Use CTRL+U in MetaTrader to access this list.

Troubleshooting

If your signals are not processed correctly:

  • Ensure that Symbol Mapping is turned on in the PineConnector Portal.
  • Verify that the symbols in both the "From" and "To" fields are correctly entered and match the symbols used by TradingView and your broker, respectively.
  • Review the Signal Log to check if there are any mismatches or errors related to symbol conversion.
