One TradingView alert, reaching every account that follows it

A Pine strategy on a TradingView chart cannot place an order. What it can do is fire an alert, and an alert is an HTTP request to a URL: it carries no broker, no account and no broker login. Tradeus is the hosted receiver for that request. One alert goes to one strategy, and every account subscribed to that strategy gets its own order, sized for that account, at whichever connected broker it sits, unless that account's own settings or checks hold it back. Whether your prop firm permits any of this is for the firm to decide, and the place to read it is your own account's terms.

What one alert does here

Creating a strategy gives you a webhook URL of its own and a passphrase, which is shown once. TradingView posts the alert to that URL, the passphrase is checked first, and the signal is recorded whether or not anything trades. Then every account following the strategy decides for itself: its own size, its own trading window, its own age limit for signals and its own account lock. Automatic subscriptions route the order once those checks pass. Manual subscriptions park it until you submit or discard it. A strategy nobody follows is a working endpoint with nowhere to send anything, and it is the most common reason a first alert appears in the event log and moves no money.

TradingView's limits on the receiving end

TradingView sets four conditions on a webhook. The receiver gets three seconds to answer before the request is cancelled. It must listen on port 80 or 443. IPv6 is not supported. Your own TradingView account needs two-factor authentication switched on, which no receiver can do for you. The first three decide whether a bridge on your own computer can work: it has to be reachable from the internet on one of those ports, over IPv4, answering in time on a home connection while you sleep. The webhook URL here is an https address on a hosted server, so the port and address rules are met without you. The three seconds apply here too: the answer goes back once the orders have been sent to the brokers, and the log shows how that time splits between Tradeus, any wait for the broker's rate limit, and the broker itself.

Each account sized for itself

Size belongs to the subscription, meaning one account following one strategy, not to the strategy. That is what lets one alert put one contract on an evaluation and four on a funded account. There are four methods: the alert's own quantity times a factor, a fixed number of contracts, a fixed amount of risk per trade in the account's own currency, or a percentage of the balance. The two risk methods divide by the stop distance, so the alert has to carry sl, and a wide stop on a small budget rounds to zero contracts, which the log records as a rejection. Symbols are translated per account as well. Where nothing at that broker fits the alert's ticker, that account is skipped and the log names the symbol it lacked.

Which brokers, and which markets

Accounts at Tradovate, Rithmic, TradeLocker, Capital.com, MetaTrader 5 and Alpaca can be connected today, and one strategy can have subscribers at several of them. cTrader and TopstepX appear in the connect screen but cannot be connected yet, and NinjaTrader is not reached at all. A strategy declares one market, and only accounts in that market may follow it: a futures alert reaches Tradovate and Rithmic accounts together, but not a CFD account at TradeLocker. Alpaca has no futures. MetaTrader 5 is the exception to hosted: a small program runs in your own terminal and asks Tradeus what to do, so it stops whenever the terminal does.

What it does not do

It does not make a strategy better. It places a losing trade on every subscribed account as reliably as a winning one. It does not weigh each order against a daily loss limit you have set: a watchdog re-reads each armed account about every five seconds and locks it once a limit has been crossed, so the order that crosses it has already gone through, and a fast market can carry the loss past the figure. It does not catch every repeated alert: an identical one within 60 seconds is ignored, but past that window a repeat trades again, unless the message says where the position should end up. The ready-made message for a Pine strategy carries both an id and the target position. And it does not know your prop firm's rules. The firm decides what your account permits, and the only place to find that is your own account's terms.

What it costs

The plans differ by how much automation you run, never by how many accounts you own. The TradingView webhook is on Algo, with three strategies, and on Unlimited, with no strategy limit. The Manual plan has no webhook and turns an alert away at the endpoint. Broker connections, source accounts, target accounts and copy groups are not counted on any plan, so one funded account or fifteen costs the same. The prices are on the pricing page, read from the checkout rather than typed here. TradingView has its own side of the bill: the alert needs two-factor authentication on your account, and which TradingView plans include webhooks is for TradingView to state. A MetaTrader 5 account also needs a machine that stays on.

Questions people ask first

Can TradingView copy trades to my broker by itself?

No. An alert can post a webhook to a URL you choose, but it carries no broker, no account and no broker login. Something has to receive it, reach each broker account on your behalf and place the order. Here that is a strategy: paste its URL and its ready-made message into the alert, subscribe the accounts that should trade, and each one gets its own order at its own size, subject to that account's own checks.

How many accounts can follow one alert?

As many as you hold. Broker connections, target accounts and copy groups are not counted on any plan, so one funded account or fifteen costs the same. What the plans separate is automation, and for an alert that means the TradingView webhook itself and how many strategies you may run. The accounts do have to trade the strategy's market, so a futures strategy and a CFD strategy are two strategies with two alerts.

Does my prop firm allow alerts on several accounts?

That is the firm's answer to give, not ours, and it can differ between accounts inside one firm. We do not publish a list of what firms permit, because we cannot keep one true and a stale list is worse than none. Read your own account's terms before you subscribe that account to a strategy.

What if TradingView sends the same alert twice?

Within 60 seconds, a repeat is ignored as a duplicate: the same id for the same instrument, action and account or, without an id, the same thing asked of the same account. Further apart, it depends on the message. With position_size and a target position in it (position, or sentiment, which the ready-made Pine strategy message uses), the alert says where the account should end up, so a second copy finds it already there and changes nothing. The ready-made message for a Pine strategy sends position_size and sentiment, and an id built from the alert's time and order id. Without a target position, two identical alerts more than 60 seconds apart are two orders.

Are trades I place by hand copied as well?

That is the copier rather than a strategy. It starts from a leader account instead of an alert, and whether a trade you place by hand on the leader is copied depends on the leader's broker, not on a setting in the group. The copier's readiness panel says which case you are in before you trade, and /docs/copier-basics sets out how the copier and a strategy differ. Orders from an alert go to every account subscribed to the strategy, each through its own checks.
