<![CDATA[best way to get tradingview alerts to actually execute on mt5]]>i do all my analysis on tradingview because the charting is miles ahead, but i trade through mt5. right now i get a tv alert on my phone, then manually place the order in mt5 which is slow and i fat-finger it half the time.

whats the cleanest setup people use to bridge tv signals into mt5 execution without paying for some sketchy 50 dollar a month connector?
