- Webhook URL used
- First, cross-check your TradingView's alerts log and the PineConnector Signals Log
- Once the logs above match, evaluate the Experts output which prints more information on how your signal is being processed by the EA.
It's important to note that the comparison should not be made solely between your TradingView chart and MetaTrader trade log as there is possibility of errors in your entry coding, misconfiguration of your alerts, or a combination of both factors.
If the expiration date is visible on your MetaTrader terminal but signals are not being received, the issue is most likely related to your TradingView configuration.
