TradingView to IQ Option Signal Copier: 6 Easy Steps
IQ Option doesn't sell a one-minute trade that ends sixty seconds after you click. Its short options end on the minute mark, and it stops selling each one shortly before that mark. An order that sends a plain duration comes back refused: "Time for purchasing options is over". This guide sets up TradingView to IQ Option the way IQ's own trade room works.
TPcopier handles that timing for you. Your TradingView alert goes to a webhook address that belongs to you. TPcopier's servers then open a turbo or binary option on your IQ Option account: a CALL for a buy, a PUT for a sell. Nothing runs on your computer. You'll need a TradingView plan with webhook alerts, an IQ Option account and a TPcopier workspace. The trial costs nothing and needs no card.

Three things IQ Option does its own way
Minute marks. Turbo options settle on whole minutes. One bought at 14:32:10 for a minute settles at 14:33:00. IQ Option also refuses purchases in the last stretch before a mark.
Numbered instruments. On its trading connection, IQ Option knows every pair by a number, not a name. TPcopier learns those numbers from IQ Option's own instrument list each time the account connects. A guessed number could book the trade on the wrong instrument, with a normal-looking confirmation.
Refusals that look like fills. A refused order comes back under the same name as a filled one. Only a status code tells them apart. TPcopier reads that code, so a refusal never counts as a trade.
TradingView to IQ Option in 6 steps
1. Open a workspace with the bridge
Create your account on the sign-up page. Then open Bridge, press Make a bridge, pick TradingView as the sender and IQ Option as the receiver, and press Open the bridge. The bridge's window keeps a Set-up checklist of what's left.
Make a bridge: TradingView picked under 1 Sender, IQ Option under 2 Receiver, then Open the bridge.
2. Connect IQ Option
On the Binary brokers page, press Add account. In Add a broker account, pick IQ Option, leave the account type on Demo (practice money), name the account and press Add and connect.
IQ Option picked and Demo (practice money) as the account type; the note under it says one login covers both balances.
A Connect dialog opens with iqoption.com's sign-in page inside it, and you sign in yourself. TPcopier stores the session cookie, encrypted, but never your password. Suppose an older saved login has expired: the window then stays open until you sign in afresh. One login covers both balances here. So Switch to real money under More on the card later needs no new sign-in.
The card turns connected only after IQ Option sends a balance for your account type. If none arrives, it says "Signed in, but IQ Option sent no balance for this account type." Stakes and results then stay in that balance's own currency. Set the amount in the account's Settings, under Stake per trade, using a stake you already trade by hand.
3. Make the feed
On the TradingView page, press New feed. Name it and set Binary expiry when the alert names none. Then copy the Webhook URL from the feed card.
The TradingView page: the feed with its Webhook URL and Copy, the connected IQ Option account, and The alert message with Action, Expiry, the message to paste and What each field means (example workspace).
4. Copy the message
Under The alert message, set the Action: Buy (CALL), Sell (PUT) or From a strategy. Pick an Expiry, then press Copy. For example, a buy meant to run to the second minute mark reads:
{"symbol":"{{ticker}}","type":"buy","expiry":"2m"}
5. Create the alert in TradingView
In TradingView's alert dialog, paste the message into the Message box. Next, tick Webhook URL under Notifications and paste the feed's address. TradingView explains that part in its guide to configuring webhook alerts.
6. Link the feed to IQ Option
Finally, back in the bridge's window, link the feed to your IQ Option account (the Link the feed to your account step). You can switch each link off later without deleting it.
The TradingView → Binary brokers window: the feed on the left, the IQ Option demo account on the right, the link between them Live, and the Set-up list below (example workspace).
How TradingView to IQ Option expiries land on the minute
TPcopier starts from the alert's expiry, or the feed's. It then picks the first minute mark at least 30 seconds away. Longer expiries add whole minutes after that mark. Under five minutes, the order goes out as a turbo option. At five minutes and over, it goes out as a binary option.
| Alert says | Sent as | Ends |
|---|---|---|
30s or 1m |
Turbo | The first mark at least 30 s ahead: 30 to 90 s later |
2m |
Turbo | One mark further on: 90 to 150 s later |
5m |
Binary | Four marks after the first: 4.5 to 5.5 minutes later |
So a 30s alert never makes a 30-second trade on IQ Option. A strategy built on exact seconds suits a broker that takes seconds, such as Pocket Option. To see how long each trade really ran, open History on the IQ Option card. It reads straight from IQ Option.
The alert message
{{ticker}} arrives as something like FX:EURUSD, and TPcopier keeps only the part after the colon. Use sell for a PUT. You can also let a strategy decide with {{strategy.order.action}}. But remember that a strategy's exit reports the opposite side, so it would open a new option. Close alerts get a note and nothing else, since TPcopier lets every binary trade run to its expiry. The TradingView to Quotex walkthrough explains every field.
IQ Option lists real-market pairs and OTC twins, such as EUR/USD OTC. TPcopier matches your chart to the real market. It only trades the OTC twin when the symbol itself says OTC.
One login, two balances, a 30-day limit
IQ Option keeps demo and real under one login, and each order names its balance. That makes switching easy. However, the login has a hard end: IQ Option closes every login 30 days after sign-in, with no renewal. The Login line on the card counts the days down and turns red in the final week. You also get a notice a week, three days and a day before the end. Then press Connect and sign in once, and trading carries on.
Meanwhile TPcopier checks the saved login every day. If IQ Option has issued a new one, TPcopier tests it with IQ Option before saving it.
Binary brokers: each IQ Option card shows Connected, DEMO, balance, stake, Speed, Broker reply and its Login line (example workspace).
When IQ Option refuses the order
Some alerts stop before any order. Their note on the TradingView page names the reason: a pair your brokers don't list, a pair offered only as OTC, a closed market, an expiry outside your range, or a low payout. The payout comes from IQ Option's own list, as 100 minus its commission. An account's own Payout filter adds a minimum of its own once you switch it on.
After an order goes out, IQ Option's answer shows under Why not placed when you open the trade in History:
- "Time for purchasing options is over, please try again later." That's IQ Option's own wording for a purchase too close to the mark. The 30-second rule exists to avoid it.
- "IQ Option refused the order (status ...)" appears when a refusal carries only a code.
- A missing pair shows as "IQ Option has no instrument id for ... on this account".
- After 10 seconds without an answer, you see "IQ Option did not acknowledge the order".
An account can also skip an alert by itself. That happens after the same pair, direction and expiry within 60 seconds, a daily stop, or a pause after four losses in a row.
Speed and results
TradingView gets its "ok" before TPcopier builds the order. With several linked accounts, each order leaves once its own checks pass. On IQ Option, TPcopier warms a pair by subscribing to its candles. That needs the instrument list first, so TPcopier waits for the list before warming. As a result, a warmed pair's first order doesn't pay for the subscription. Add the real-market pairs your alerts trade to Pre-warmed list in the bridge's settings.
Results come from IQ Option too. A result arrives when IQ Option pushes the position's close. After a restart, TPcopier asks IQ Option for the week's positions instead of guessing. One default deserves a look: Martingale in the account's Settings starts on By message. A gale then goes only when the message itself gives one, so an alert that gives none is one trade.
FAQ
Why did my TradingView to IQ Option trade close early?
Because IQ Option's short options end on the minute mark. TPcopier took the first mark at least 30 seconds away, just as IQ Option's trade room does.
Do I have to sign in to IQ Option every month?
Yes, once a month. IQ Option ends every login 30 days after sign-in and allows no renewal. TPcopier shows the days left and reminds you ahead of time.
Can I switch between demo and real without signing in again?
Yes. One IQ Option login covers both balances, and each order names its balance. The switch itself is under More on the account's card.
Does it trade IQ Option OTC pairs from TradingView?
Only when the alert's symbol names OTC, for example EURUSD-OTC. Otherwise TPcopier places the real-market pair your chart shows.
Where do the results come from?
They come from IQ Option itself: the close it pushes for each position. After a restart, TPcopier reads IQ Option's position history instead.
