**Last Updated:** August 27, 2026  |  **Published:** December 19, 2025

Want to automate your TradingView strategy alerts using **Match-Trader**?  
This guide walks you through connecting your Match-Trader account to PickMyTrade, generating alerts, and configuring Stop Loss / Take Profit automation for CFD and Forex markets.

---

---

## 1. Connect Your Match-Trader Account to PickMyTrade {#0-toc-title}

Before creating alerts, you must connect your Match-Trader broker account to PickMyTrade.

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-30-1024x303.avif)

**Steps:**

- Choose **Broker: Match-Trader**
- Click **Connections** in the top-right of PickMyTrade
- Select **Add New Connection**
- Enter your credentials:

| Field | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Username | Your Match-Trader login | user@email.com |
| Password / API Key | Broker credentials (as required) | ******** |

Click **Save** and confirm the connection status shows **Active**.

---

## 2. Generate the Alert in PickMyTrade {#1-toc-title}

Once Match-Trader is connected:

- Go to **Generate Alert** from the sidebar
- Fill in the required configuration fields
- Click **Generate Alert**

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-19-1024x345.avif)

You’ll receive:

- A **Webhook URL**
- A **JSON alert payload**

These will be used in TradingView.

---

## 3. Select Match-Trader as Your Broker {#2-toc-title}

- Broker: **Match-Trader**
- Choose Match-Trader from the broker dropdown

---

## 4. Choose Your Alert Type {#3-toc-title}

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-61-1024x276.avif)

Two alert types are supported:

- **INDICATOR** — For TradingView indicator-based or manual alerts
- **STRATEGY** — For Pine Script strategies with automated execution

**Example:**

- Alert Type: **STRATEGY**

---

## 5. Select Instrument Type {#4-toc-title}

Before entering the symbol, choose the correct **Instrument Type** to ensure PickMyTrade applies the right execution and pricing logic.

Available options:

- **CFD** — Use for indices, metals, energies, and CFDs (e.g., NAS100, US30, XAUUSD).
- **FOREX** — Use for spot Forex pairs with standard FX contract specifications (e.g., EURUSD, GBPJPY).
- **FOREXCFD** — Use when your broker offers Forex pairs as CFDs instead of spot FX (common with prop firms).

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-62-1024x282.avif)

⚠️ Selecting the wrong instrument type may lead to incorrect lot sizing, SL/TP calculation, or order rejection.

---

## 6. Enter the TradingView Symbol {#5-toc-title}

Enter the TradingView symbol, and select symbol from dropdown.

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-63-1024x443.avif)

This field is **mandatory** when using:

- Ticks-based SL/TP
- Risk-percentage sizing

---

## 7. Confirm Exit Handling {#9-toc-title}

Determine how exits will be managed for your strategy:

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-64-1024x435.avif)

### Option 1: No SL/TP (Strategy Controlled Exits) {#3-toc-title}

- Select this if your TradingView strategy fully manages entries and exits
- PickMyTrade will NOT place any Stop Loss or Take Profit orders
- All exits will be executed only when TradingView sends exit alerts

**Use this when:**  
Your strategy already includes complete exit logic

---

### Option 2: Attach SL/TP to Orders {#4-toc-title}

- Select this if your strategy does NOT handle exits
- PickMyTrade will place Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) with each entry

**Features:**

- Choose SL/TP type (percentage, price, Total Profit/Loss, etc.)
- Only **one SL and one TP per order** is supported

**Use this when:**  
You want simple, fixed risk management handled by PickMyTrade

---

### Option 3: Multiple Exits (TP1, TP2, etc.) {#5-toc-title}

- Select this if your TradingView strategy uses multiple take-profit levels
- PickMyTrade will NOT require SL/TP configuration
- All exits will be executed based on TradingView alerts

**Note:**  
When using multiple exits, SL/TP cannot be attached to the entry order.

---

## 8. Stop Loss & Take Profit Configuration {#14-toc-title}

If you would like to place Stop Loss and Take Profit orders in PickMyTrade with each order from your strategy.

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-65-1024x506.avif)

> Match-Trader supports **one active SL and TP per symbol**. Any new alert in the same direction will overwrite existing SL/TP values.

### Available SL/TP Types {#15-toc-title}

- Dollar (from Entry)
- Percentage
- Price (From TradingView)
- Ticks
- Total Profit / Loss (USD)

---

### When configuring Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) in automated trading, you can choose different methods to define exit levels. Each method manages risk and profits in a distinct way, depending on whether you prefer fixed values, percentages, or price-based logic. {#16-toc-title}

---

### 1. Dollar (from Entry) {#17-toc-title}

Sets SL/TP using a fixed dollar amount from the entry price. This is useful when you want precise control over monetary risk.

**Example:**  
Entry at $21,000

- Stop Loss: $500 → exits at $20,500
- Take Profit: $1,000 → exits at $22,000

---

### 2. Percentage {#18-toc-title}

Calculates SL/TP as a percentage of the entry price, keeping risk proportional to market value.

**Example:**  
Entry at $21,000

- Stop Loss: 2% → exits at $20,580
- Take Profit: 5% → exits at $22,050

---

### 3. Price (From TradingView) {#19-toc-title}

Defines SL/TP at exact price levels, often based on technical analysis like support and resistance.

Reference Document: [TradingView Plot Placeholder Integration](https://docs.pickmytrade.trade/docs/tradingview-plot-placeholder/)

**Example:**  
Entry at $21,000

- Stop Loss: $20,800
- Take Profit: $22,200

---

### 4. Ticks {#20-toc-title}

Uses a fixed number of ticks from the entry price. Commonly used in futures markets.

**Example (NQ futures):**

- 1 tick = 0.25 points = $5
- Stop Loss: 20 ticks → $100 risk
- Take Profit: 40 ticks → $200 reward

---

### 5. Total Profit / Loss {#21-toc-title}

Closes the position once a predefined total profit or loss is reached, regardless of price.

**Example:**

Target Profit: $1,000  
The trade closes as soon as either limit is hit.

Max Loss: $500

---

---

## 11. Match-Trader Account Management in PickMyTrade {#22-toc-title}

### 10.1 Add Match-Trader Account (Same PickMyTrade Account) {#23-toc-title}

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-66.avif)

| Field | Example | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PickMyTrade Conn. Name | MATCHTRADER1 | Select your Match-Trader connection |
| Match-Trader Acc. Name | MT-ACC-001 | Choose broker account |
| Option | QUANTITYMULTIPLIER | Position sizing method |
| Qty Multiplier | 1 | 1 = same size, 2 = double |

Click **Save** to apply changes.

---

### 10.2 Add Match-Trader Account (Different PickMyTrade Account) {#24-toc-title}

Used when routing trades across multiple PickMyTrade accounts.

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/image-67.avif)

| Field | Example | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PickMyTrade Token | target_account_token | Token from destination account |
| PickMyTrade Conn. Name | MATCHTRADER1 | Must exist in target account |
| Match-Trader Acc. Name | MT-ACC-002 | Exact broker account name |
| Option | QUANTITYMULTIPLIER | Same sizing logic |
| Qty Multiplier | 1 | Trade size multiplier |

> Execution will fail if the token or account mapping is incorrect.
