Part 0 — Before you start

• A TradingView account with access to the invite-only scripts you bought (Profile → Invite-only scripts). Webhook alerts need a paid TradingView plan.
• An access key for each instrument in your order, from the email “Your access key(s)”.
• Futures: a TradersPost account with your broker account connected.
• Forex: a PineConnector account (License ID from the portal) and MT5 logged in to your account.
• Your portfolio and its quantities (tables in Part 5).

Part 1 — One chart per strategy and instrument

Every strategy runs on its own chart. Two strategies on one instrument need two charts.

1. Symbol. Futures: CME_MINI:MNQ1! for MNQ, COMEX_MINI:MGC1! for MGC. Forex: your broker’s symbol whose name contains NAS100 or US100 (Nasdaq) or XAUUSD (gold).
2. Timeframe from the table below. On any other timeframe the script stops with an error.
3. Futures: session ETH, not RTH. Click the session switch in the bottom-right corner of the chart, next to the time zone, and choose ETH. In a multi-chart layout set it on every chart separately. Some strategies trade outside regular hours; on RTH those bars are missing.
4. Add the script: Indicators → Invite-only scripts → the PVE strategy.
5. Inputs (gear icon next to the strategy name):
   • Instrument — the same as the chart symbol (MNQ on an MNQ chart, XAU on a gold chart). The script takes its parameters from this field, not from the symbol.
   • Access Key - MNQ / - MGC / - NAS / - XAU — paste the key into the field of the instrument you selected. Only that field is checked.
   • Account Preset — your account size (e.g. “50k Futures”, “100k Forex”), or Custom when your portfolio uses a different quantity (Part 5).
   • Custom Quantity (contracts / lots) — only with Account Preset = Custom.
   • Enable EOD Guard - Futures: ON for futures. Enable EOD Guard - Forex: leave the default. Zone has one switch, “Enable EOD Guard (close all + cancel)”.
   • Forex only: PineConnector License ID — your License ID; MT5 Symbol — AUTO, or the exact symbol name from MT5 Market Watch if your broker names it differently.
6. Properties: leave the defaults.

Part 2 — Check the chart before going further

Open the Strategy Tester and look at the last 12 months. The number of trades and the win rate must match the strategy page. The amount can differ when your quantity differs from the preset.

Part 3 — Futures: TradersPost strategies

1. Create one TradersPost strategy for every combination of strategy × instrument × quantity.
2. A TradersPost strategy sends each signal to every account subscribed to it. Two accounts with the same quantity can share one strategy. Two accounts with different quantities need two strategies (two webhooks).
3. Name it strategy + instrument + portfolio, e.g. OPEN MNQ 4X.

Part 4 — Futures: TradersPost subscription settings

Edit each subscription and set the fields in this order:

“DEPRECATED” next to Max strategy positions in the broker settings: leave the field empty and ignore the label.

Part 4X — Forex: PineConnector and MT5

1. In the PineConnector portal, copy your License ID.
2. Download the MT5 EA from the portal: two files, PineConnector-MT5-EA and PineConnector-MT5-DLL.
3. In MT5: File → Open Data Folder → MQL5 → Experts, paste both files, restart MT5.
4. MT5: Tools → Options → Expert Advisors → tick Allow DLL imports.
5. Make sure the Algo Trading button in the MT5 toolbar is green.
6. Navigator → right-click the PineConnector EA → Attach to Chart. Common tab: Allow Algo Trading ✓. Dependencies tab: Allow DLL imports ✓. Inputs tab: paste your License ID.
7. Run no other EAs on the same MT5 terminal.
8. In the PineConnector portal, check that your MT5 account shows as connected.

In the PineConnector EA settings set Pyramiding: On and Max Open Positions per Symbol: 0 (no limit). A portfolio runs several strategies on the same symbol, and Hook, Open, Pivot and Reject can add to an open position; with Pyramiding Off the EA keeps only one position per symbol.

Part 5 — Portfolio wiring

For each component of your portfolio: one chart → quantity → one alert → one TradersPost strategy (futures) or one License ID (forex) → account.

• Each portfolio runs on one account: all its components send to the same account.
• MNQ and MGC (or NAS and XAU) run on one account.

Two accounts, same portfolio

Futures: one TradersPost strategy per component, two subscriptions (one per account), one alert. Forex: both MT5 accounts on the same License ID, one alert.

Two portfolios with different quantities of the same strategy

Futures: two charts, two TradersPost strategies, two alerts. Forex: two charts with different quantities, two License IDs.

Manual execution (no automation)

Use this if you place orders yourself. Parts 1 and 2 apply; Parts 3, 4 and 4X do not.

1. Alarm clock icon → Create Alert. Condition: the PVE strategy on this chart, then Order fills only. Expiration: Open-ended.
2. Message: {{strategy.order.alert_message}}. The alert text then shows action, instrument, price, stop loss, take profit and quantity.
3. Notifications: pick at least two channels (app, pop-up, sound, email) so you don’t miss a signal.
4. When an alert fires, place at your broker a market entry with the stop loss and take profit from the alert as working orders.
5. Trade the quantity in the alert. Round fractional sizes down, never up. If your broker’s minimum lot is larger than the alert size, skip the trade.

Part 6 — Alerts (automation)

1. Scroll the chart all the way to the left before creating the alert, so the full history loads.
2. Alarm clock icon → Create Alert. Condition: the PVE strategy on this chart, then Order fills only.
3. Message: {{strategy.order.alert_message}} — nothing else.
4. Notifications → Webhook URL: futures: the webhook URL of the TradersPost strategy for this chart and this quantity. Forex: https://webhook.pineconnector.com.
5. Expiration: Open-ended.
6. One alert per TradersPost strategy (futures) or per chart (forex). Fewer means an account without signals; more means double orders.
7. Name the alert the same as the TradersPost strategy.

Part 7 — After every strategy update

1. The chart does not update on its own. Refresh TradingView, click the update icon next to the strategy name on the chart, then Update to latest version. Settings and keys stay.
2. Delete and recreate every alert of that strategy. An alert keeps a copy of the script from the moment it was created.
3. Check: hover over the alert in the alert list. Its “Created” date must be later than the update date.

Part 8 — Troubleshooting

Part 9 — Final checklist before going live

• every chart: right symbol, timeframe, ETH session (futures)
• Instrument = chart symbol, key in that instrument’s field
• Account Preset or Custom Quantity matches the portfolio
• tester: number of trades and win rate match the strategy page
• number of alerts = number of TradersPost strategies (futures) / charts (forex)
• every alert: Order fills only, the right Message, the right webhook
• every subscription: the settings from Part 4
• forex: EA attached, Algo Trading green, account connected in the PineConnector portal
• after every update: scripts updated, alerts recreated
