Getting Started
Follow this guide to connect your first signal source and broker — and place your first automated trade.
Create account
Connect a signal source
Connect a broker
Step 1 — Create your account
Register
Go to pipsync.io/register and create a free account using your email address.
Verify your email
Check your inbox for a verification email from PipSync and click the confirmation link.
Complete onboarding
Follow the onboarding wizard — it takes about 2 minutes. You'll choose your trading style and configure default risk settings.
Step 2 — Connect a signal source
PipSync can receive signals from multiple sources. Pick the one you use most:
Telegram
Forward signals from Telegram channels
TradingView
Trigger trades from TV alert webhooks
Discord
Copy signals from Discord servers
Each signal source has a dedicated setup guide. Click any source above to see the full walkthrough.
Step 3 — Connect a broker
Open the Brokers page
In your dashboard, navigate to Settings → Brokers and click Add Broker.
Choose your broker
PipSync currently supports MetaTrader 5 (cTrader coming soon). Select your broker from the list.
Enter your MT5 credentials
Provide your MT5 account number, password, and server name. These are only used to place trades on your behalf — PipSync never withdraws funds.
Use a read-only investor password if you only want to monitor trades without auto-execution. For automated trading, you need the full password.
Test the connection
Click Test Connection. If successful, you'll see your account balance and open positions appear in PipSync.
Step 4 — Configure risk management
Before going live, configure your risk rules to protect your capital. Navigate to Settings → Risk Management.
Max lot size
The maximum position size PipSync will ever open, regardless of the signal. A good starting point is 0.01–0.05 lots while you validate the setup.
Daily drawdown limit
PipSync pauses all trading for the day if your account drops by this percentage. Recommended: 2–5% for conservative traders.
Max open trades
Cap the number of simultaneously open trades to limit exposure during high-volatility periods.
Manual approval mode
Enable this to review each trade before it executes. Great for testing — you approve or reject signals one by one.
Your first trade
Once everything is connected, trigger a signal from your source. PipSync will:
- Parse the signal (instrument, direction, SL/TP)
- Apply your risk rules to calculate position size
- Send the order to your broker
- Log the trade and notify you via the dashboard
We recommend starting with Manual Approval Mode enabled so you can validate the signal parsing before going fully automated.
