TradingView options automation needs an explicit contract, opening or closing intent, quantity and exit association. A bullish or bearish chart signal does not supply those decisions automatically.

TradeLocker, MatchTrader and cTrader use a similar alert-routing process, but their connection methods, instruments and position handling differ. Start by connecting the correct account, then generate a broker-specific message and test an entry and exit. This is a Tradier automation walkthrough
Yes, you can route alerts from multiple TradingView strategies to one supported trading account. The important condition is that their combined orders, exits and risk must work together. Separate TradingView strategies do not automatically create separate broker positions or reserve a portion of the account for each system. An opening-range strategy and a trend-following strategy
Before connecting a live brokerage account, test the entire TradingView → PickMyTrade → broker workflow in a supported paper or demo environment. PickMyTrade.io supports several broker integrations, and testing options differ by broker. A successful simulated trade confirms your setup, not your future live fills.
