Why traders switch

What changes when you move to Lune

Built for futures, not forex

PineConnector connects TradingView to MetaTrader for forex and CFD trading. Lune connects TradingView to Rithmic, ProjectX, NinjaTrader, and Tradovate for futures trading. Different markets, different platforms.

Cloud execution, no EA required

PineConnector requires a MetaTrader Expert Advisor running on a VPS. Lune runs entirely in the cloud with persistent WebSocket connections. Nothing to install or maintain.

Risk management on every order

12+ risk dimensions protect every account automatically. PineConnector routes orders to MetaTrader without risk validation beyond what MT4/MT5 natively provides.

Complete trading platform

Auto Trader, Trade Copier, Trading Journal, Risk Management, and Cockpit monitoring in one place. PineConnector is a TradingView-to-MetaTrader bridge with no additional tools.
