The Trading Connector is an Expert Advisor plugin script designed to establish a seamless connection between TradingView and MetaTrader. It enables traders to auto-execute TradingView alerts on MT4/5. This integration eliminates the need to switch between platforms, streamlining the trading process and providing traders with a cohesive and efficient workspace.

5. Supports Multiple Accounts From Different Brokers
Trading Connector offers the ability to connect and trade on multiple trading accounts from different brokers simultaneously. This feature is particularly beneficial for traders who have accounts with multiple brokers or trade different strategies across various accounts.
