How TradingView to TradeLocker automation works with PickMyTrade
PickMyTrade sits between TradingView and TradeLocker and does the translating for you. There are four links in the chain:
| Step | What happens |
| 1. TradingView alert | Your strategy, indicator, or manual chart alert fires. |
| 2. Webhook | TradingView sends a small JSON message to your PickMyTrade webhook URL. |
| 3. PickMyTrade | Reads the symbol, side, size, stop-loss and take-profit, and processes the order in under 200ms on our side. |
| 4. TradeLocker execution | PickMyTrade places the order on your connected TradeLocker account, even while your computer is switched off. |
TradingView alert → Webhook (JSON) → PickMyTrade (under 200ms, our side) → TradeLocker order
Because the whole path runs in the cloud, you do not need a VPS or a desktop bot. Your total fill time depends on your broker's execution, network latency, and how quickly TradingView sends the alert, but the PickMyTrade step is consistently fast.

How to connect TradeLocker to TradingView step by step
The full setup takes about five minutes and there is nothing to code. Here are the four steps.
Step 1: Create your PickMyTrade account and get your webhook URL
Sign up for PickMyTrade and start your 5-day free trial (no credit card needed). Inside the dashboard, generate your alert and PickMyTrade gives you a unique webhook URL. This URL is the address TradingView will send your signals to, so keep it handy for step 3.
Step 2: Add your TradeLocker credentials (email, password, server/environment, demo vs live)
Open the TradeLocker connection screen in PickMyTrade and enter the login you use for TradeLocker: your email, your password, and your server or broker environment. Choose whether the account is demo or live. Because TradeLocker is offered through many different brokers, the server value tells PickMyTrade which broker environment your account lives on. Save the connection and PickMyTrade links to your TradeLocker account. TradeLocker setup doc.
Step 3: Build the TradingView alert with the PMT JSON message (entry, SL, TP, quantity)
In PickMyTrade, generate the alert message for your buy and sell signals. It is a small JSON block that carries the symbol, order side, quantity, and any stop-loss or take-profit you want. In TradingView, create an alert on your strategy or indicator, delete the default alert text, and paste the PickMyTrade message into the message box. Then open the alert's Notifications tab and paste your PickMyTrade webhook URL into the Webhook URL field. Webhook alerts require a paid TradingView plan (Pro, Pro+, or Premium); free TradingView accounts cannot send webhooks.
Step 4: Fire a test alert and confirm the order in TradeLocker
Before you trust it with a live strategy, send one test alert. Put the alert on a fast timeframe or trigger it manually, then check the PickMyTrade alert log to see the signal arrive, and check TradeLocker to confirm the order landed. Once you see the trade appear in TradeLocker, your connection is working and you can enable your real strategy. video tutorial.
Where to find your TradeLocker server name and environment
The server name is the single most common thing people get stuck on, because TradeLocker is white-labelled by many brokers and each one has its own environment. You will find the server value on the same screen where you log in to TradeLocker: it appears as the environment or server field on the TradeLocker web or mobile login, right next to your email and password. If you are unsure, open your broker's TradeLocker login page and note the exact server or environment name shown there, or ask your broker's support which TradeLocker environment your account uses. Enter that value in PickMyTrade exactly as it appears, and pick demo or live to match the account type you logged into.
TradeLocker trade copier: copy one TradingView signal to multiple TradeLocker accounts
PickMyTrade is also a TradeLocker trade copier. One TradingView signal can place the same trade across several TradeLocker accounts at once, so you are not repeating the same order by hand on account after account. Each account can carry its own quantity multiplier, so you might run a smaller account at 0.5x, a standard account at 1x, and a larger one at 2x, all from the same alert. Entry, stop-loss, and take-profit stay consistent across the accounts, while the size scales to each account's multiplier. This is how multi-account and funded traders scale a single strategy without watching every account manually.
Supported order types and features
On the webhook path PickMyTrade supports market and limit orders, with stop-loss and take-profit attached to the entry. You also get symbol mapping (trade a different symbol than the one in your alert), a quantity multiplier and risk-percentage sizing, the ability to reverse or flip a position, and a close-all command to flatten a position across your accounts. These settings live in PickMyTrade, so you configure them once and every alert follows the same rules.

Which assets you can trade (forex, crypto CFDs, indices, commodities)
TradeLocker is used mainly for forex and CFD trading, and PickMyTrade works with whatever your TradeLocker broker offers. That typically means forex pairs, crypto CFDs, indices, and commodities, depending on the instruments your specific broker lists. Because you are trading through your own broker's TradeLocker environment, your available symbols, spreads, and trading hours are set by that broker, and PickMyTrade simply routes the orders your TradingView alerts create.
Using PickMyTrade with prop firms on TradeLocker (verify each firm's rules first)
Some proprietary trading firms run their evaluations and funded accounts on TradeLocker, and PickMyTrade can connect to a TradeLocker account whether it is personal, demo, or funded. Copy trading and automation rules vary by prop firm and change over time, so always confirm your firm's current policy before you automate. Firms differ on whether they allow webhook automation, how many accounts you may copy across, and how identical fills can be. PickMyTrade copies your own TradingView alerts across your own accounts, which keeps you in control, but the responsibility for staying inside each firm's rules is yours. Check your firm's current automation and copy-trading policy first. supported prop firms.
Pricing and free trial
PickMyTrade is $50 per month or $500 per year, and every plan starts with a 5-day free trial that needs no credit card. One subscription covers your TradeLocker automation and the trade copier, and there is 24/7 live support if you get stuck. You can test the full setup during the trial and only pay once you are happy it works for your strategy. pricing page.
Troubleshooting common connection and order-rejection issues
Most connection problems come down to a handful of causes. If your account will not connect, check that your email and password are exactly right and that the server or environment matches the one on your TradeLocker login, and confirm you picked demo or live to match. If an order is rejected, the usual reasons are: the symbol in your alert does not match a symbol your broker lists (use symbol mapping to line them up), the position size is larger than your account or the broker allows, the market is closed for that instrument, or you do not have enough margin. If a trade never appears at all, confirm your TradingView plan is Pro or higher (free plans cannot send webhooks), check that the webhook URL and JSON message are pasted correctly, and look at the PickMyTrade alert log to see exactly what arrived. The alert log is the fastest way to tell whether the problem is the TradingView alert, the PickMyTrade settings, or the broker.
PickMyTrade vs other TradingView-to-TradeLocker tools
A few tools promise to connect TradingView to TradeLocker, and the honest way to compare them is on setup, reliability, and support rather than hype. PickMyTrade runs entirely in the cloud, so there is no VPS to rent and no desktop app to keep open, and it handles both single-account automation and multi-account copying in one subscription. It processes your order in under 200ms on our side, supports symbol mapping, multipliers, and risk-percentage sizing, and connects to many brokers beyond TradeLocker if you expand later.
