Does SignalForge work with The5ers?

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 The5ers 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

  1. Create your SignalForge account and copy your webhook URL from the dashboard.
  2. Register your The5ers account in the SignalForge dashboard: login + server - use the exact string your terminal shows (FivePercentOnline-Real).
  3. Install the SignalForge EA on your MT5 terminal and drag it onto a chart.
  4. Create the alert in TradingView with this JSON message, using the exact symbol from your Market Watch:
{
  "symbol": "BTCUSD",
  "action": "buy",
  "lots": 0.1
}
  1. Fire a test alert and confirm the order appears in MT5.
  2. Done - every alert now executes automatically.

Common gotchas

  • The5ers usa simbolos limpios, sin sufijos
  • 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.

FAQ

  1. Does it work on a demo The5ers account? Yes - demo and live use the same setup.
  2. Which server do I select in MT5? The one your terminal shows under Tools, Options, Server (FivePercentOnline-Real). Register the same login and server in SignalForge.
  3. Do I need a VPS? No - the EA runs in your own terminal. SFCloud gives you a cloud MT5 (24/7) if needed.
  4. Can I trade BTCUSD through TradingView alerts? Yes - it is an exact symbol on The5ers.
  5. What if my prop firm account runs on The5ers? The setup is identical; Prop Firm Shield adds automatic daily and max-loss enforcement.
