What is the Connection Editor?

The Connection Editor is a visual tool that allows you to create connections between webhooks and MT5 accounts through mappings. A mapping acts as an intermediary that defines which symbol will be used in each account.

                💡 Key concept: A webhook can send signals to multiple accounts, and each connection can use a different symbol. For example, you can trade EURUSD on one account and EURUSD.r on another, both from the same webhook.
              

Create a Connection

1

Open the Connection Editor

In the sidebar, click on Connection Editor. You will see an empty canvas in the center and lists of webhooks and accounts on the left.

2

Drag a Webhook

From the left list, drag a webhook to the canvas. It will appear as a visual node in the editor.

3

Drag an Account

Drag an MT5 account from the list to the canvas. Make sure the account has "Connected" status to be able to configure the symbol.

4

Connect Webhook with Account

Click on the webhook's connection point and drag to the account's connection point. An intermediate mapping will be automatically created that will connect both nodes. The mapping will appear as a new node between the webhook and the account.

5

Configure the Symbol

Double-click on the mapping node that was automatically created, or hover over it and click the "Edit" button that appears. Select the symbol that will be used in this specific account. The system will only show tradeable symbols available in that account. In the same dialog you can optionally set divide lot by, lot multiplier, and enable "Adjust lots to MT5" (explained below).

6

Save the Connection

Click "Save" at the top. The connection will be active and webhook signals will execute on the account with the symbol configured in the mapping.

Use Cases

Multiple Accounts, Same Webhook

Connect a single webhook to multiple accounts. Each mapping can use a different symbol, allowing you to trade the same strategy on different brokers or instruments.

Symbol Mapping

If your broker uses "EURUSD.r" instead of "EURUSD", the mapping allows you to configure the correct symbol for each account, automatically translating signals.

Flexible Management

You can disconnect a mapping from an account without affecting the webhook or other mappings. This allows you to easily reorganize your connections.

Divide lot by

TradingView sends volume in contract units (not MT5 lots). MT5 shows lots; one lot = a fixed contract size for that symbol. Divide lot by converts those TradingView units into MT5 lots. Use a whole number only (no decimals).

                  Practical example
                  Forex (EURUSD, etc.): contract size is often 100000. If your alert sends “100000” for what you consider one full lot, put 100000 in the divisor so MT5 opens 1.00 lot.
Gold XAUUSD: on many brokers one lot = 100 ounces. If your signal uses that same scale, put 100 in the divisor so, for example, “100” from the webhook becomes 1.00 lot in MT5.

                

The editor shows Lot size for the symbol you pick—usually the same number you need. Use Copy to fill the divisor. Leave 1 only if TradingView already sends size as MT5 lots.

Lot multiplier

Multiplies volume only on this account (this mapping). Same webhook, same alert, but you can use ×1 on one account and ×2 on another—handy when balances or risk differ.

Whole numbers only: 1 = same size, 2 = double, 3 = triple. Example: after the divisor, if the trade would be 0.01 lots, ×2 makes it 0.02 on that account only.

Adjust lots to MT5

In each mapping you can enable the option "Adjust lots to MT5". When active, the lot size sent to MT5 is limited to the number of decimals each symbol accepts (for example, 2 decimals for minimum lots of 0.01, or 0 decimals for whole lots). Extra decimals are simply removed, not rounded. Useful when your strategy or broker sends more decimals than MT5 accepts.

Rules and Validations

                ⚠️ Important:
                A symbol mapping can only connect to one account
The symbol can only be configured if the mapping is connected to an account
The symbol must exist in the account's list of tradeable symbols
You cannot save connections if there are mappings connected to accounts without a configured symbol
