Important Trading Rules
Rule #1: Same Broker Setup
If you're using the same broker for both TradingView and MT5, you can perform your analysis on any TradingView chart. The symbol correlation will work automatically since both platforms use the same broker's pricing.
Rule #2: Multi-Broker Setup
If you're sending signals to multiple brokers (prop firms, different live accounts), you MUST perform your TradingView analysis using ICMarkets or Pepperstone charts. This ensures proper price correlation with your MT5 brokers. Without this, signals may fail or execute at incorrect prices.
