How to align TradingView and MetaTrader symbol to trade

If the symbol which you want to trade on MetaTrader is different from the one you use in TradingView, you can use two options:

Option 1. Configure TradingView symbol in MetaTrader Expert Advisor

Metatrader 4:

MetaTrader 5:

in above cases, MetaTrader will be waiting signals to be send from XXX from TradingView and will execute it on the Price Chart on which is was activated.

Option 2 (Advanced). You can change the symbol in the Alert Message itself manually

{
  "mt_trading_account": "100100100",
  "order_type": "Market",
  "platform": "metatrader",
  "time": "{{timenow}}",
  "ticker": "{{ticker}}",
  "order_contracts": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}",
  "order_action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
  "order_price": "{{strategy.order.price}}"
}

Change to “ticker”: “{{ticker}}” to “ticker”: “XXX” where XXX is the symbol for which you activated Expert Advisor on MetaTrader.

{
  "mt_trading_account": "100100100",
  "order_type": "Market",
  "platform": "metatrader",
  "time": "{{timenow}}",
  "ticker": "XXX",
  "order_contracts": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}",
  "order_action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
  "order_price": "{{strategy.order.price}}"
}
