PineConnector compatible prop firms
PineConnector routes TradingView alerts to MT4 and MT5, which makes it the bridge for forex prop firms and irrelevant for futures. The compatibility list is short; the rule list at each firm is what decides whether it can be used.

Pricing checked September 2026: $39 Starter, $79 Advanced, $159 Professional per month, roughly $26 effective on annual billing. Cloud hosting retired 31 March 2026, so an MT5 VPS (~$30 per month) is now part of the cost. FTMO's own-logic clause is the one to read twice: running a script you have licensed is fine; subscribing to someone else's signals through the same bridge may not be.
FAQ
Does PineConnector work with FTMO?
Yes, via MT5. FTMO permits EAs under anti-HFT restrictions and an own-logic requirement.

No. It routes to MT4/MT5 only. Futures firms on Tradovate, Rithmic or ProjectX need TradersPost.
Do I need a VPS for PineConnector?
Yes, since the Cloud service retired on 31 March 2026. Budget around $30 per month on top of the license.
