If you’ve ever wished you could run true algo trading inside TradingView, you know the struggle: TradingView is great for charting, testing, and alerts… but when it comes to actually executing automated trades, you hit a wall. That’s where Ultra Mega Trader (UMT) Extension comes in.
UMT bridges the gap between TradingView and your broker, letting you take the exact trades your strategy generates—automatically, in real time—without leaving the TradingView platform.
Why TradingView Alone Isn’t Enough
TradingView’s strategy tester is fantastic for backtesting, and alerts can push signals to email or webhooks. But there’s no built-in way to:
- Place trades directly on your broker’s account.
- Execute instantly on entries/exits without lag.
- Manage advanced order logic (like reversals, instant exits, or limit order presets).
That’s why most traders end up either manually clicking buttons or paying for external bridges that are clunky and unreliable.
What the UMT Extension Does
The Ultra Mega Trader Chrome Extension is built to solve this exact problem. It runs right inside your browser and watches your TradingView strategy in real-time. Here’s what it does:
- Reads your strategy trades from the TradingView strategy tester.
- Executes those trades automatically using your selected broker.
- Lets you choose between market orders and limit orders with presets.
- Handles tricky scenarios like reversals, flattening, or partial exits.
- Keeps your workflow inside TradingView—you don’t have to switch platforms.
In other words: if your TradingView strategy can generate it, UMT can trade it.

Real-World Example
Imagine you’re scalping an asset using a simple MACD crossover strategy. With TradingView alone, you’d need to watch the chart and click the Buy/Sell button every time. With UMT:
- Your strategy generates the signal.
- UMT instantly executes the trade based on your strategy.
- A matching order is sent to your broker.
- If you’ve enabled reversals, UMT will close your open position and flip to the new side automatically.
No missed trades. No second-guessing. No emotional trading. Just clean algo execution.
Why Traders Love UMT
- No extra servers or third-party bridges: It’s all handled in your browser.
- Full control: You decide how orders are placed and what brokers you connect.
- Forward testing made real: You can see how your strategy performs with live execution—latency, slippage, and commissions included. Just turn on Paper Trading and let UMT go and see your results.
TradingView is the best charting platform out there—but with UMT, it becomes the algo trading hub you always wanted it to be. Whether you’re testing new strategies or running a live system, Ultra Mega Trader gives you the automation edge that manual clicking never will.
If you’re serious about taking your TradingView strategies live, it’s time to bring algo trading to TradingView with UMT.
