Does SignalForge work with Admirals?
Yes - SignalForge connects to the MT5 terminal you control: your alert fires on TradingView, the webhook lands on SignalForge, and the EA opens the order inside your own terminal. No VPS, no new broker, no API keys.
What you need before starting
- A Admirals MT5 account (login + server, see below)
- A TradingView account with webhook access (paid plan)
- A SignalForge account (14-day free trial, no card)
Step-by-step setup
- Create your SignalForge account and copy your webhook URL from the dashboard.
- Register your Admirals account in the SignalForge dashboard: login + server - use the exact string your terminal shows (
AdmiralsMT5-Live,AdmiralsMT5-Trade). - Install the SignalForge EA on your MT5 terminal and drag it onto a chart.
- Create the alert in TradingView with this JSON message, using the exact symbol from your Market Watch:
{
"symbol": "BTCUSD",
"action": "buy",
"lots": 0.1
}- Fire a test alert and confirm the order appears in MT5.
- Done - every alert now executes automatically.

Common gotchas
- Admirals was formerly Admiral Markets - old accounts keep the original server names, so register the server exactly as your terminal shows it.
- Server string matters: register the server exactly as your terminal shows it - a mismatch means the EA will not match your account.
- Show all symbols: if a symbol is not in your Market Watch, right-click the list, Show All.
