what's up Traders I'm Kevin Hart and in today's video I'm going to be showing you how to install Pine connector into metatrader 4 so that we can automate our trading view scripts now I've already done a video on metatrader 5 that is the platform I will be using personally to go through the rest of this series but for those of you who have a broker that does not offer metat trator 5 or you prefer metat trator 4 I'm going to quickly show you how to set up Pine connector for this platform now if you want to know more information about Pine connector go and watch the metatrader 5 version even though it shows you how to install Pine connector on metatrader 5 I also go into a lot of information about what Pine connector is and how it functions and I'm going to skip all of that for this video to keep it really brief I don't want to repeat myself unnecessarily so if you're new to Pine connector and you have no idea what it is go and check that out uh the metat trator 5 version of this instructional video now before we continue I need to mention that this is not trading advice I'm not a financial adviser this is risky stuff if you don't know what you're doing if you're not a competent Trader I recommend you stay away from Pine connector or at least spend a lot of time on the demo account before you even consider uh live trading using this expert advisor there is a lot that can go wrong you can lose money very quickly if you don't know what you're doing but in this video series on Pine connector I will walk you through each step of the way and for those of you who are comfortable with the risks involved in automated trading we will automate a script by the end of this series I can't promise it'll be profitable cuz it's an example script but I will show you guys how to set up a fully automated script through trading View and pine connector so that you can execute trades on your broker while you sleep anyway with that out of the way let's continue with the instructions let's download the windows version of metatrader 4 and let's install this onto my system next and then click finish we can close this tab I need to select server 01 next existing trade account paste in my um metatrader account number I'm going to change these account numbers these are demo accounts anyway way um but if you're doing this yourself don't give this number out uh because people can try to screw around with your account so click finish to log in hopefully this works there we go incoming mail there we go we have logged in and once again we need to turn off these obnoxious sound effects so I'm going to go to tools options events and stop that click okay there we go all right so let's jump over to the Pine connector instructions and download the metatrader 4 expert advisor for Pine connector so here I am on my members portal the first thing I need to do is change my account number because I've already set this up on metatrader 5 so if I go to file uh login copy this number and paste it in here now my license will work with this new metatrader account number now you need to use your own metatrader account number number this will not work with my number it needs to be the one you've logged into your platform with so now that I've done that I need to download the metatrader 4 expert advisor so I can open this folder up right click this EX4 file cut open up metatrader go to file open data folder then we need to go into mql4 experts and paste this file into here now I can open up my expert advisors tab down here right click on this and click refresh and here is our Pine connector expert advisor but before we use this we need to change a few settings so we need to come up to tools options um expert advisors we need to click to allow automated trading and we also need to allow these dll Imports now this allows expert advisers to do things like access the internet outside of the platform which is required for uh Pine connector if you're not comfortable with this make sure to reach out to the Pine connector support team to discuss any apprehensions you have but personally I trust these guys I've used them for a couple of years now so I'm going to allow that click okay and the final thing we need to do is make sure this is turned on make sure this is green um now let's go through the instructions here if I click EA guide let's make sure I haven't missed anything we click on metatrader 4 I've downloaded the EA I've installed it into my data folder into mql4 I have allowed dll Imports I have enabled auto trading the final thing to do is attach the pine connector EA to my chart so I can right click this and click attach to chart now I need to come to commment make sure allow live trading is turned on and allow dll Imports is turned on as long as these two options are on the expert advisor should be able to execute trades through our broker through the metatrader platform now we need to come to inputs this is where we put in our license ID now there'll be a link in the video description if you haven't used Pine connector before it's an affiliate link so if you do sign up I do get get a small cut of your payment at no extra cost to you so if you want to support the channel that's one way to do it but if you don't want to support the channel for whatever reason uh that's fine to just go to the Pine connector website and sign up for a free trial you get a 7-Day free trial um get your license ID from your uh the main site dashboard so if I go to members portal scroll down and copy this number I can paste that into here and click okay and now assuming I've done everything correctly this should enable Pine connector there we go we have successfully connected to Pine connector's server everything is good to go so let's jump back over to the instructions here I've allowed live trading and dll imports on the expert advisor settings tab I've inputed my license ID we have successfully connected to the server so our connection is good um the final thing to do is send a test alert to make sure this is working correctly so first we need to find a symbol so if we go back to to metatrader and I go file uh or view where is it here symbols you can press control U on a Windows computer or just click symbols here uh we go to FX Majors we need to make sure that the symbol we want to trade is enabled so if we double click on these you can see they turn gray that means that trading is not enabled on these symbols and the expert advisor Pine connector uh will not be able to execute trades on these symbols if we send alerts to these symbols so we need to enable all the markets we want to trade once these are enabled we can click close now notice in my symbols list we're going to send a test command to open a long trade on euro dollar and my euro dollar symbol in this list has a suffix so depending on the broker you are using you may have a prefix or a suffix on the market you want to trade in my case I have a suffix which is a full stop a I need to send this entire string to Pine connector in my alert if I want to open a trade on euro dollar so let's do that now let's scroll down through the instructions we have enabled euro dollar we have gone over the suffix here so the final thing to do is um copy this line here go to trading view let me delete the metatrader 5 test alert click ADD alert make sure that euro dollar is selected um I went over this in the metat trader 5 version of this video but it is IDE to use the same broker feed you can see here this says pepperstone that is the same broker I'm using on my metatrader platform this is not necessary you don't have to use the same um data feed as long as you send the correct symbol the correct symbol oh my goodness Euro doll. a as long as I send this to the correct link with the correct license ID it doesn't matter what Market I trigger this alert on the trade will go through to Pine connector here but obviously does help to be using a data feed that is as close as possible to whatever your uh metatrader platform is using so in this case I'm using euro dollar on metatrader and uh trading view through pepperstone um and the data feed is pretty close so we shouldn't have too many issues with trades being executed at um different prices on both platforms so now I can paste in what I copied from the pine connector website and now I need to replace my license ID and my symbol with the corresponding parameters to trigger an alert on euro dollar so to do that I can come back to this page copy my license ID I paste that in here now this license ID again corresponds to your metatrader account number so you can't use my license ID don't even bother trying you need to create your own um but there is a one week free trial for those of you who aren't ready to commit any money to this and you just want to play around make sure to sign up to the free trial um go to your member dashboard copy your license ID in here buy means we are going to buy at Market risk equals 1 means with the default um expert advisor settings with the default settings here uh we will go over these settings in detail in future videos but for now using the default settings sending a risk equals one command will open one standard lot on the symbol we specify and for the symbol remember we need to type out the um the market we want to trade and then the suffix so a now I need to change my condition to greater than zero and now this alert will trigger as soon as I create it and price moves because obviously price will always be greater than zero unless the world has imploded and the euro is no more uh but hopefully by the time you watch this video that hasn't happened anyway the next thing we need to do is come to Notifications make sure web hook URL is turned on and this link is pasted in you can get this link from the uh instructions here so you need to copy this URL paste it into the web hook turn the web hook on all of these other settings do not matter they're optional if you want to be notified when your script executes a trade then you might want to set these up when you create your alerts but for today's test we don't need to worry about that um and it looks like we're good to go I'll just change this to Pine connector test mt4 now when I click create this should trigger immediately and we should either get an error in the experts tab or trade should be executed there we go it looks like our trade executed just fine there we go we have a trade opened we have opened one standard lot on euro dollar at Market um using an alert sent from Trading view amazing stuff now if you get an error in this experts tab uh when you try to trigger this alert if there's an error code here like a number then you need to come to pinec connector.com error and then if you you search for your error code um there should be a description on what the error means and Rec and recommendations on how to rectify that error but we didn't get an error luckily uh this works straight out of the box with the default settings so I can wrap this video up here and in future videos we will go into more detail about the settings of this expert advisor I'll be doing most of my um personal examples on metatrader 5 but you guys should be able to follow along on metatrader 4 if you're using metatrader for because these settings are pretty much identical on both platforms with all that said I'll wrap this video up here I'll speak with you in the next one take care and good luck with your training
