In the world of algorithmic trading, speed, precision, and automation are critical. As more traders embrace smart tools and automated systems, platforms like TrendSpider and TradeSignal are gaining popularity. TrendSpider is well-known for its advanced charting and alerting features, while TradeSignal allows traders to automate their strategies on platforms like MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5).
While these platforms are not natively integrated, many traders want to bridge the gap between signal generation and order execution. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to connect TrendSpider with TradeSignal using a custom integration and how this setup can help you achieve low latency trading and efficient automation.
What is TrendSpider?
TrendSpider is a next-generation charting platform built for traders who rely heavily on technical analysis. It uses machine learning and automation to help identify:
- TrendlinesChart
- patterns
- Support and resistance levels
- Technical indicator signals (e.g., RSI, MACD, moving averages)
You can create custom alerts using these signals, which can be triggered based on multiple conditions. Alerts can be sent via email or webhook, making TrendSpider a valuable signal-generation tool.
What is TradeSignal?
TradeSignal is a powerful automation platform designed to help traders execute signals without writing code. It integrates with popular trading platforms like MT4 and MT5, enabling traders to:
- Automatically enter and exit trades
- Use trailing stops, fixed stop-loss, and take-profit targets
- Define custom risk management rules
- Automate portfolio-level strategies
TradeSignal also supports low latency trading, ensuring that your signals are executed in real-time with minimal delay. It's especially beneficial for day traders and scalpers who need fast execution.
Why Integrate TrendSpider with TradeSignal?
Although TrendSpider does not currently offer a direct plug-and-play integration with TradeSignal, this setup can still be achieved through a custom solution. Here are some benefits of combining these tools:
1. Smarter Signal Execution
TrendSpider offers some of the best signal generation capabilities in the market. But without automation, you have to manually act on alerts. By connecting those signals to TradeSignal, you can automatically execute trades on MT4/MT5.
2. Time-Saving Automation
Executing trades manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. Automation ensures that your trade orders are placed instantly and accurately, freeing you to focus on strategy development.
3. Reduced Slippage
TradeSignal enables low latency trading, which helps you enter trades at the price intended by your signal—an essential feature for short-term and high-frequency trading strategies.
4. Risk Management Built-In
With TradeSignal, you can define your trade size, stop loss, take profit, and trailing stop rules in advance. This ensures consistent risk management across all trades.
Setting Up the Integration (Step-by-Step)
Because this setup requires custom integration, we at TradeSignal offer support for TrendSpider users who want to automate their trading. Here's how it typically works:
Step 1: Create Custom Alerts in TrendSpider
Log in to your TrendSpider account and open the chart for the asset you want to trade. Use its tools to set up conditions for your alerts, such as:
- RSI crossing below 30 (oversold)
- MACD crossover
- Price breakout above resistance
Once your conditions are defined, configure the alert to be delivered via email or webhook.
Step 2: Request Custom Integration from TradeSignal
Since this isn’t a built-in feature, our team can assist you with:
- Creating a webhook or email listener that parses TrendSpider alert messages
- Mapping those messages to trade commands (e.g., Buy/Sell, Stop Loss, Take Profit)
- Configuring TradeSignal to execute those trades on your MT4 or MT5 broker account
Note: This is a paid, custom service. Please contact us directly to get started.
Step 3: Configure TradeSignal for Your Strategy
Once connected, you can set specific parameters for each alert type, such as:
- Trade size (e.g., 1 lot, 0.5 lot)
- Risk per trade (e.g., 2% of account)
- Exit conditions (e.g., SL/TP or trailing stop)
This allows you to tailor the automation logic to your trading style and risk appetite.
Step 4: Test in Demo Mode
Before you go live, it's strongly recommended to test your setup in a demo trading environment. This allows you to:
- Validate that alerts are received and parsed correctly
- Ensure trades are executed as intended
- Make adjustments without risking real capital
Step 5: Go Live and Monitor Performance
Once everything is working correctly, switch to your live account. Use the TradeSignal dashboard to:
- Track live trades
- Monitor system health
- Analyze trade history
How TradeSignals Work in Algo Trading?
In algorithmic trading, a signal is any condition that triggers a buy or sell decision. With TradeSignal, your signal can come from any supported platform like TradingView, TrendSpider, or even custom scripts. The goal is to:
- Receive a signal in real-time
- Translate that signal into an order
- Execute the order with precision
Whether you’re trading Forex, indices, or crypto, the logic remains the same. TradeSignal acts as your automation bridge.
Can I Set Up Signal Trading with TradingView Too?
Yes! TradeSignal also supports TradingView alerts. You can connect your TradingView webhooks or email alerts to TradeSignal using our standard integration tools.
This makes it possible to:
- Run multiple strategies from both TrendSpider and TradingView
- Manage all automated trades from one dashboard
- Diversify your signal sources for better performance
If you're already using TradingView and want to try TrendSpider signals too, we can help you manage both in parallel.
Advanced Trading on MT4/MT5
MT4 and MT5 remain the gold standards for retail algorithmic trading. TradeSignal helps you unlock the full potential of these platforms by:
- Automating entries and exits
- Applying multi-timeframe strategies
- Running multiple Expert Advisors (EAs) in parallel
- Using VPS or cloud servers for better uptime and speed
With our TrendSpider integration, you can bring external signals into this environment for a powerful, automated setup.
