The MT4 → Indian broker gap
MetaTrader excels at FX and global CFD workflows; Indian equity and F&O execution happens on SEBI-registered brokers with different APIs. Many traders keep MT4 for signals but execute manually on Kite or Dhan — that breaks down under speed and discipline.
A webhook bridge lets MT4 (via EA alert, HTTP POST, or intermediary script) push structured signals to AlgoCrab Bridge, which routes orders to your connected Indian broker.
Typical architecture
MT4 fires alert or custom HTTP call with JSON payload.
AlgoCrab Bridge validates the payload and maps to broker order parameters.
Orders hit your broker API through the session you connected on AlgoCrab.
Logs in AlgoCrab show accepts, rejects, and fills for audit.
What to validate before going live
Latency: MT4 machine and Bridge host must stay online in session hours.
Symbol mapping between MT4 symbol names and NSE/BSE broker symbols.
Duplicate alerts: debounce or idempotency keys if the EA fires twice per bar.
Risk: hard caps on quantity and daily loss on the Bridge strategy card.
TradingView vs MT4 vs native AlgoCrab
Use Bridge when signals originate off-platform. Use a built-in AlgoCrab strategy when one fits your rules and you would rather not maintain MT4 infrastructure.
