When your EA is reconnecting.

A terminal drops for a few seconds now and then: a broker reconnect, a settings reload, an EA update. This is what each bridge does with an alert that arrives in that gap.

FROM THEIR DOCS

Their CloudConnect docs say the EA "drops off the signal server for a few seconds while it reloads" each time you save settings or update it. Their public error table lists code 7016, "No client connected": the signal was received, but no MT5 terminal was connected for the license. The fix they give is to make sure the EA is running and connected before sending signals.

SignalForge

HOW OURS WORKS

If your EA checked in during the last 15 minutes, the alert is stored and handed over as soon as the EA is back, by push or by polling if the push channel is down. We hold it for 120 seconds; after that it expires without executing, so a late reconnect never fires a stale entry. Silent for longer, but seen in the last 2 hours? We answer TradingView with a retryable error and it resends the alert up to 3 times, 5 seconds apart. Past that, the alert is rejected and the reason goes to your signal log.

Their wording comes from docs.tradesgnl.com (error-codes and CloudConnect pages), checked on October 28, 2026. Ours describes production behavior on the same date.

Where SignalForge wins

SIGNALFORGE

Focus and price. One job done well: TradingView alerts into MT5 with prop-firm guards, at $4.99 where TradeSgnl starts at $15.99 without the extras. The trial is real (14 days, no card), the latency figure is measured and published with its method, and everything exists in Spanish too.

Where TradeSgnl wins

HONESTLY

Breadth. If you want cTrader or TradeLocker, crypto exchange execution, a Telegram signal copier, a no-code builder or an AI assistant in the same subscription, TradeSgnl has them under one roof (with annual discounts at the moment). We do not offer those today, and we say so.

Questions about the choice.

Are these prices current?

Checked on tradesgnl.com on October 23, 2026. Their homepage ran a limited-time 50% off code for yearly plans (SGNLYEAR50); monthly figures listed here are the base ones.

What is their entry plan really for?

Bridge ($15.99/mo) covers one MT5 account with the EA and CloudConnect. cTrader, TradeLocker and crypto start on higher tiers, per their plan table.

Do they have a free trial?

Their site says no free trial; every plan is a subscription you can cancel. SignalForge gives 14 days on Starter and Trader without asking for a card.

Which one is faster?

They claim under 500 ms typical; we measured ~180 ms webhook-to-EA and ~0.5 s to the broker-confirmed order and published the method. Both numbers exclude factors neither vendor controls, like your broker's queue.
