Comparison

Trading Router vs TradingConnector

The closest match on price of any pairing in this category — both entry plans sit around $15/month for TradingView-to-MetaTrader routing. What that $15 buys is where they separate.

Short answer

Choose Trading Router if you need more than one account, want NinjaTrader 7 or 8, want a built-in MT4/MT5 trade copier, or expect to spread terminals across more than one machine.

Choose TradingConnector if you copy signals from Telegram channels, or if you need Interactive Brokers TWS alongside MetaTrader. Neither is something Trading Router does.

Scaling

What happens when you add accounts

This is the sharpest difference between the two, and it comes from an architectural choice rather than a pricing one. TradingConnector routes on the same device, so its tiers are shaped by where your terminals physically sit — one PC, or several.

SetupTrading RouterTradingConnector
1 terminal$14.99/mo$14.99/mo
3 terminals, one PC$14.99/mo$49.99/mo
5 terminals, one PC$19.99/mo$49.99/mo
3 terminals across separate VPS$14.99/mo$299/mo — Remote tier
10 terminals across machines$34.99/mo$299/mo — Remote tier
20 terminals across machines$69.99/mo$299/mo — Remote tier

Trading Router's EAs each connect to our server independently, so terminal location is irrelevant — three accounts on one VPS and three across three VPS cost the same. That matters more than it sounds: prop firm evaluations are frequently isolated onto separate machines, and broker terminals get separated for redundancy.

The flip side is that TradingConnector's same-device design keeps routing local, which is a legitimate architectural preference if you would rather your signals not transit a third-party server at all.

Fit

Which one suits your setup

Trading Router if…

  • You run more than one MetaTrader account — three are included from the entry plan.
  • Your terminals live on more than one machine, now or later.
  • You trade futures on NinjaTrader, or still run NinjaTrader 7.
  • You want an MT4/MT5 trade copier without separate copier software.
  • You need portfolio-level Net TP and Net SL limits, or a high-impact news filter.
  • You want several orders placed from a single webhook message.

TradingConnector if…

  • You follow signal providers on Telegram and want those executed automatically.
  • You trade through Interactive Brokers TWS as well as MetaTrader.
  • You want routing that stays on your own machine rather than passing through a vendor server.
  • You run exactly one MetaTrader terminal and expect that to stay true.
  • You prefer the Chrome extension workflow it offers.
Switching

Moving between the two

Both are webhook-driven, so your TradingView strategy is unaffected. Swap the EA on your terminal, paste your Client Token, rewrite the alert() message string in Trading Router syntax, and repoint the webhook URL. Roughly fifteen minutes.

One thing genuinely does not carry over: if part of your flow depends on Telegram channel signals, Trading Router has no equivalent. It is driven by TradingView webhooks and its API, and does not read Telegram channels. Worth checking before you migrate rather than after.

Both offer a 7-day trial, so running them side by side on a demo account costs nothing and settles the question for your own broker and symbols better than any comparison table can.

FAQ

Trading Router vs TradingConnector — Common Questions

What is the main difference?
At about the same entry price, Trading Router gives you three accounts plus NinjaTrader 7 and 8 and a trade copier; TradingConnector gives you one MetaTrader terminal plus Telegram signal copying and Interactive Brokers TWS. Different bundles at a similar price, not better and worse.
Does TradingConnector support NinjaTrader?
No — MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and Interactive Brokers TWS. For NinjaTrader 7 or 8 you need Trading Router.
Which is cheaper for multiple accounts?
Trading Router, and the gap widens with distribution. TradingConnector is $49.99/month for multiple terminals on one PC and $299/month once they are spread across machines. Trading Router is $14.99 for 3 and $69.99 for 20, wherever those terminals run.
Can Trading Router copy Telegram signals?
No. It is driven by TradingView webhook alerts and its API. If Telegram channel copying is part of your workflow, TradingConnector covers it and we do not.
Do both run under 1 second?
Both advertise sub-second execution, reached differently — TradingConnector keeps routing on your device, Trading Router routes through its server. In practice broker execution and TradingView's own alert dispatch usually dominate either. Test with your own broker before assuming.
Which is better for prop firm evaluations?
Trading Router, in most cases — evaluations are usually isolated on separate machines, which puts TradingConnector on its $299/month remote tier while Trading Router's account-based plans price the same regardless of where terminals run.
