Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the platform.
General
Do I need a paid TradingView plan?
Yes, and No! If you're only using the Confluence King Algo inside the TradingView platform then the free plan with them is enough. However, if you plan on using our webhook service to send trade alerts/signals to your trading platform then you need the entry level paid subscription with them as you can no longer send signals on the free plan.
Do you offer financial advice as well as signals.
No! Confluence King is strictly a provider of software and education that allows you to analyse and study the markets. We do not provide you with instructions on how to trade or financial advice in any form.
What timeframe can I use?
You can use any timeframe that's allowed on the charts, from 1 minute to a month.
Does this work with Prop Firms (FTMO, MFF, etc.)?
Yes. Our system is fully compatible with any broker or Prop Firm that supports MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5. Since the trades are executed locally on your platform by our EA, it looks exactly like a manual trade to the broker.
Note: Always check your specific Prop Firm's rules regarding automated trading news events.

Can I trade Indices (US30, NAS100) and Crypto?
Yes. Our webhook creates orders based on the symbol provided by TradingView.
However, brokers often name symbols differently (e.g., US30 vs DJ30 vs US30.mini). Our EA allows you to map these symbols or add suffixes (like .p or .pro) directly in the Webhook URL to match your specific broker.

Technical
How does Confluence King webhook actually work?
The Confluence King webhook acts as a bridge between TradingView and your trading terminal (MT4/MT5).
You set up an alert on your TradingView chart using our custom Webhook URL.

Do I need to know how to code?
Absolutely not. We have done the hard work for you.
If you can click buttons on TradingView, you can use our system. We provide the exact Webhook URL and a simple Expert Advisor file to drop into your MetaTrader folder. Our dashboard guides you through the setup step-by-step.

Do I need to leave my computer on for trading?
Yes, your MetaTrader 4/5 terminal must be running to receive the signals from our server.
For the best reliability, we highly recommend using a VPS (Virtual Private Server). This ensures your trading platform stays online 24/7, even if your home internet or power goes out.

How fast is the execution (Latency)?
Speed is our priority. Our server processes the incoming signal from TradingView in under 50 milliseconds.
The total time from "Alert" to "Trade Open" typically ranges from 200ms to 1 second, depending on your VPS internet connection speed and your broker's execution speed. This is significantly faster than manual human reaction time.

Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, you can cancel at any time via the Client Dashboard. We use a secure Stripe Customer Portal where you can manage your payment methods, download invoices, or cancel your plan with a single click. Access is revoked immediately upon cancellation or at the end of the paid period.
Are my payment details safe?
Yes! All of your payments, subscriptions and options to cancel are handled by Stripe, we don't handle any of that. The only details we hold about you are the name and email address details that you've provided us with during your registration process.
Strategy
What is the "Confluence King Algo"?
This is our proprietary TradingView indicator designed to filter out market noise. It doesn't just look for one signal; it looks for Confluence—when multiple factors align (Trend, Volume, and Momentum).
It is designed to be "set and forget." When the Algo detects a high-probability setup, it sends the signal to the webhook, including precise Entry, Stop Loss, and Take Profit levels.

Does the Algo repaint signals?
Our signals are confirmed on the Candle Close. Once a "Smart Buy" or "Smart Sell" signal appears and the candle closes, it is permanent. We believe in transparency and honest backtesting results.
