Trading View vs MT5

Missing a trade by just a few pips is painful, but platform price discrepancies between TradingView and MetaTrader 5 are actually very common! Different charting platforms source their price feeds from different liquidity providers and data aggregators. TradingView often shows an aggregated feed, while your MT5 terminal displays the exact broker feed you are trading on.

When trading on a prop firm account, this difference matters immensely. Executing trades based on TradingView charts while managing risk on an MT5 broker terminal can lead to missed entries or unexpected slippage. Always execute directly off your broker's feed to ensure your entry price, stop loss, and take profit align with your platform's actual fills. This is especially vital when respecting tight daily loss limits and drawdown parameters, where every pip counts.
