How a signal flows: from TradingView to your MT5 charts

Nexum Trader sits between your signal source (TradingView, or any webhook-capable platform) and your MT5 terminals. The dashboard is the router: it validates the incoming alert, sizes the trade against each account, and fans the signal out to every eligible chart that's listening.

The three stages

1. Source: A TradingView alert (or any webhook source) fires a single comma-separated payload at the Nexum webhook URL. The payload carries your dashboardID, the action, the symbol, and risk parameters.
2. Routing: Nexum resolves the dashboardID to your account set, then evaluates each connected MT5 account independently against the eligibility checks below.
3. Execution: The signal is queued for every account that passes. Each account's EA polls Nexum, claims its signal, and opens the position on the matching chart. Accounts that fail any check are silently skipped; they stay online, ready for the next signal.

Eligibility: what makes a chart receive a signal

One MT5 terminal can have many charts open at once (e.g. EURUSD, XAUUSD, US30 side by side). The dashboard does not blast the signal to every chart. It only fires on the chart whose symbol matches. For an account to receive a trade, all four must be true:

• Auto Trade is ON on the account card.
• Inside an active Trading Window for the current day and time.
• The symbol exists in the broker's Market Watch with the exact name from the payload.
• The EA is online on a chart of that symbol (heartbeat within the last 10s).

If any check fails for an account, the signal is skipped silently for that account only; every other eligible account still trades. Exit signals (close, closeall) bypass the Trading Window check so emergency closures always go through.

That's the whole loop: one alert in, many precise executions out. From here, dive into the webhook payload reference for the exact command syntax, or the Trading Windows guide to control when each account is eligible.
