TradingView
TradingView provides browser and app-based charting, alerts and Pine Script. It supports strategy simulation and testing; account trading requires a supported broker integration. Data and feature access depend on the plan and market feed. A Pine strategy does not automatically mean real orders are executed.
Illustrative example
How does it work in practice?
Assume a Pine strategy generates a hypothetical buy at 100 USD. Its chart trade marker represents the simulator's result; checking a real order requires looking at the connected broker account's actual trading history.
A case to work through
An alert without broker confirmation
Hypothetically, an alert triggers at 10:00 but the account shows no confirmed order.
- The alert documents its condition rather than an executed trade.
- Check connection, order history and execution status through the supported integration.
What follows? Do not record the alert as a live trade without confirmation.
Example boundary: Integration and data availability depend on the account and market source.
A useful distinction
TradingView / MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
TradingView combines analysis with supported integrations; MT5 uses a broker account and server within its terminal.
Check your understanding
Recognize that an alert alone does not prove execution.
Show the answer and explanation
Confirmed execution status on the broker account
That is separate evidence from a chart signal.
