24/7 Trading Bot is a game-changer for traders. The forex market runs 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. The Asian session triggers moves at 1 AM. London open creates breakouts at 7 AM GMT. If you're sleeping — or just not watching — you're missing trades. This guide shows you how to build a 24/7 TradingView to MT5 trading bot that never sleeps, using TradingView Copier Pro.
🌙 The key insight: TradingView's alerts run in the cloud 24/7 regardless of whether your browser is open. You just need something running on your end to receive and execute them. That's where TradingView Copier Pro comes in.
What Makes a "True" 24/7 Trading Bot?
For your setup to trade truly 24/7, three components must be running continuously:
- TradingView alert — runs on TradingView's servers, always on once configured
- TradingView Copier Pro — must be running on a PC or VPS
- MetaTrader 5 — must be open, logged in, and connected to (a) your broker and (b) the TV_Copier EA
If any of these three drop, your bot stops trading. This is why the choice of infrastructure — home PC vs VPS — is critical.
Option A: Home PC Setup (Simple, Free)
Run TradingView Copier Pro and MT5 on your home PC 24/7. Pros: free. Cons: electricity cost, PC wear, internet outage risk, power cut risk.
Best for: Testing, early-stage trading, strategies that only trade during business hours when you're awake anyway.
Setup steps:
- Install TradingView Copier Pro and MT5
- Configure both to start at Windows boot (see our VPS guide for the startup folder method)
- Configure Windows power settings: never sleep, always on
- Consider a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for power outage protection
Option B: VPS Setup (Professional, Recommended)
Run everything on a cloud VPS. Pros: true 24/7 uptime, server-grade reliability, low latency to broker. Cons: monthly cost (~$10–$20/month).
Best for: Any strategy that trades outside your waking hours, weekend traders, multi-account setups.

The Complete 24/7 Bot Checklist
- MT5 installed and logged in to your broker account
- TradingView Copier Pro installed and connected to MT5
- TV_Copier EA visible on chart with "Inputs: connected" status
- Webhook URL copied from TradingView Copier Pro
- TradingView alert created with your strategy condition
- TradingView alert webhook URL set to your Copier Pro URL
- Alert tested — manual webhook fired and MT5 executed correctly
- Both apps set to launch on Windows startup
- Windows power settings: never sleep, high performance mode
- Tested a PC restart — both apps relaunch and reconnect automatically
- (VPS only) RDP tested — can reconnect and check status from any device
Monitoring Your Bot While It Runs
Once your 24/7 bot is live, you still need visibility into what it's doing. Best practices:
- Daily log review: Check TradingView Copier Pro's Logs tab each morning to see overnight activity
- MT5 Journal: Review the MT5 Journal and Trade History for overnight orders
- TradingView alerts history: The Alerts panel in TradingView shows all fired alerts with timestamps
- Mobile notifications: Set MT5 push notifications for new trades, large drawdowns, or errors
⚠️ Risk management reminder: A 24/7 bot that's mis-configured can open many trades by the time you wake up. Always test on a demo account first. Always set strict daily loss limits in MT5 (Investors → Daily Loss Limit). Start with small lot sizes and scale up only after verified performance.
Handling Downtime and Reconnections
Even the best setups experience occasional downtime. Here's what to do:
- If TradingView Copier Pro loses connection: It will auto-reconnect the Cloudflare tunnel on most cases. If not, restarting the app re-establishes the tunnel and a new webhook URL may be generated — update your TradingView alert if the URL changes.
- If MT5 loses connection to broker: MT5 will auto-reconnect on most brokers. The EA resumes listening automatically on reconnect.
- After a power/internet outage: If you've set both apps to launch at startup, they will begin trading again automatically on reconnect — no manual intervention needed.
The Best Strategies for 24/7 Bot Trading
Not all strategies are suited to fully unattended execution. The best 24/7 TradingView bot strategies:
- Have clear, codifiable entry rules (no ambiguity)
- Have defined SL and TP on every trade (no open-ended risk)
- Have reasonable position sizes relative to account equity
- Have been backtested with at least 12 months of data
- Have been forward-tested on demo for at least 4 weeks
