Forex Token Add Alternative
Add Forex Tokens via Master Token Page
In addition to creating Forex tokens directly from the Forex page, you can also create and manage them through the Master Token page.
This method is especially useful when you’re already managing your main trading tokens and want to link them to your MetaTrader Expert Advisor (EA) quickly.
Step 1: Go to the Master Token Page
- Log in to your ChartsConnect account.
- Navigate to the Master Token section from your dashboard.
- You will see a list of all your existing Master Tokens (used for TradingView and other integrations).
Step 2: Click + “Send To” Against a Master Token
Each Master Token entry has a Send To column.
- Locate the token you want to connect with Forex.
- Click the + under Send To column.
- A popup will open showing available platform options.
Step 3: Select “Forex”
In the popup, choose Forex as the platform you want to connect this Master Token to.
This action links your TradingView signals (or other sources using this token) with your MetaTrader Forex connection.
Step 4: Choose or Create a Forex Token
After selecting Forex, a new popup will appear listing your existing Forex Tokens.
You’ll see:
- A list of all previously created Forex tokens
- A Create EA button to generate a new token if needed
Options available:
- Select an existing Forex Token to use it for this Master Token.
- Click “Create EA” to generate a new token for your Forex connection.
- The new token will automatically appear in your list once created.
- You can then assign it to your Master Token directly from this popup.
Step 5: Confirm and Link
Once you’ve selected or created a Forex token:
- Click OK in the popup.
- The selected Forex Token will now be linked to the chosen Master Token.
