01
First

Download & activate TradeBridge

Download the TradeBridge app and enter your license key to activate it on your machine.

1.
Go to tradebridge.top/dashboard and log in with your account.
2.
Download Tradebridge.exe and place it in a folder of your choice (e.g. C:\TradeBridge\).
3.
Launch Tradebridge.exe — a license dialog will appear. Enter your license key and click Activate.
Your license is tied to one machine. If you move to a new PC or VPS, contact support via Telegram to reset it.
02
Second

Connect cTrader

TradeBridge uses cTrader as a secure bridge between TradingView and MT5. You only need to authorize it once.

1.
Click Authorize cTrader in the app. Your browser will open automatically.
2.
Log in with your cTrader account and click Allow to authorize TradeBridge.
3.
Select the trading account you want to mirror from and confirm. The button turns green — cTrader Connected.
TradeBridge only reads your positions — it never places trades on your cTrader account.
03
Third

Connect MT5

Open your MT5 terminal and let TradeBridge connect to it locally. Your broker credentials never leave your machine.

1.
Open your MetaTrader 5 terminal and log in to your broker account as normal.
2.
In TradeBridge, click Connect MT5. It will detect your running MT5 terminal automatically.
3.
The button turns green — MT5 LIVE. Your account balance and broker name will appear.
4.
Click Load Symbols — TradeBridge maps all available symbols automatically.
5.
If a symbol is not mapped automatically, you can map it manually: search for the symbol in MT5 (right-click Market Watch → Symbols), then enter the correct MT5 symbol name in the mapping field inside TradeBridge and click Save Mapping.
Make sure MT5 is already running and logged in before clicking Connect MT5 in TradeBridge.
04
Optional

Set up Telegram notifications

Get instant Telegram alerts for every trade — opens, closes and connection events.

1.
Enable the Telegram Notifications checkbox in the app.
2.
Open Telegram and search for @TradeBridgeAlertsBot.
3.
Send /start to the bot. Within seconds the app shows Connected.
From now on you'll get a Telegram message for every trade execution — even when your PC is off (if running on VPS).
05
Final step

Start the Bridge & trade

That's it. Start the bridge and trade on TradingView exactly as you always have.

1.
Click Start Bridge. The status at the top shows ● RUNNING.
2.
Open a trade on TradingView. Within seconds it will appear in your MT5 terminal automatically.
3.
Enable Start with Windows in the app so TradeBridge starts automatically on every reboot.
Every open, close, partial close and modification on TradingView is mirrored to MT5 in real time. You never need to touch MT5 again.

🖥️ Run it on a VPS for best results

A Windows VPS located near your broker's server gives you the lowest latency and keeps the bridge running 24/7 — even when your PC is off. We recommend providers like Beeks, AccuStrike or any Windows VPS in London (LD4/LD5) or New York (NY4).

Enable Start with Windows in TradeBridge so it launches automatically after every VPS reboot.
