Full Documentation: Setting Up Your Automated Trading Workflow

Welcome to the FlashOrder technical guide. This document is designed to help you bridge the gap between TradingView’s advanced charting and MetaTrader 5’s robust execution. Follow these steps to get your first automated signal live in under 5 minutes.

Introduction: The Power of Webhook Automation

A Webhook is a simple way for one application to provide other applications with real-time information. In this case, TradingView sends a "Message" (Alert) to FlashOrder, which instantly translates that message into a trade on your MT5 terminal.

Step 1: Active the FlashOrder on MT5

Before you can receive signals, you must install the FlashOrder Expert Advisor (EA) on your MetaTrader 5 terminal.

1. Download: Get your FlashOrder file from your User Dashboard.

2. Open File : FlashOrder.exe

3. Open File: FlashOrder Dashboard.html file .

4. Login & Load: Login in your FlashOrder Account and Setting the dashboard.

5. Enable Trading: Ensure "Algo Trading" is turned on (Green) at the top of your MT5 terminal.

Step 2: Configuring the Webhook Connection

To link TradingView to your specific MT5 terminal, you need your unique Webhook URL.

1. Get Your Unique URL

On your FlashOrder Dashboard, copy your Personal Webhook URL. It should look something like: https://bridge-relay-i0kr.onrender.com/webhook/user_39ppOFCLXXXXXXXXX

2. Set Up the Alert on TradingView

• Open your chart on TradingView and create an Alert.

• Under the Notifications tab, check the Webhook URL box.

• Paste your FlashOrder Webhook URL into the field.

Step 3: Sending the JSON Payload

The "Message" field in your TradingView alert is where the magic happens. You need to send a specific JSON format that FlashOrder can understand.

Basic Buy Example:

{
  "action": "buy",
  "symbol": "EURUSD",
  "lot": 0.1,
  "sl": 1.0500,
  "tp": 1.0600
}

Basic Sell Example:

{
  "action": "sell",
  "symbol": "GBPUSD",
  "risk_percent": 1.0,
  "sl_pips": 20
}

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully linked TradingView to MetaTrader 5 using FlashOrder. Your trades will now execute automatically, 24/7, without you needing to lift a finger.
