TradingView alert and webhook automation

Alerts set up in TradingView are turned directly into orders on the client's exchange account through a secure bridge service developed by Fincode. The manual step between the signal on the chart and the trade on the exchange is removed.

Flow

How it works

  1. 1

    TradingView alert

    A condition defined in a strategy or indicator is met.

  2. 2

    Webhook message

    The alert is sent as a message in JSON format.

  3. 3

    Bridge service

    The message is verified and passed through risk checks.

  4. 4

    Exchange API

    The order is sent to the exchange; the result is logged and reported.

Scope

What the automation covers

  • Webhook receiver

    A server-side service designed to run around the clock that receives alert messages from TradingView.

  • Security verification

    Every message is verified with a secret key and a source check; unrecognized requests are rejected.

  • Message templates

    Alert messages are brought into a standard format with fields such as symbol, side, quantity and order type. If needed, the alert conditions on the Pine Script side are adjusted as well.

  • Risk checks

    Rules such as maximum position size, daily number of trades and loss limit are checked before an order is sent; duplicate alerts are filtered out.

  • Multiple accounts and exchanges

    A single alert can be executed on several of the client's own accounts or exchanges, with position sizes set by the client.

  • Logging and notifications

    Every alert, order and result is logged and reported in real time via Telegram or mobile notifications.

Good to know

Before you start

TradingView's webhook feature is available on paid subscription plans. Current plan features should be checked on TradingView's website.

A delay of a few seconds can occur between an alert and an order. For very short-term strategies, an algorithmic trading system that works directly through the exchange API may therefore be a better fit.

FAQ

Questions about TradingView automation

Does it work when my computer is off?

Yes. TradingView alerts run on TradingView's servers, and the bridge service runs on a separate server. Your computer does not need to be on.

Can it be used with existing indicators?

Any strategy or indicator that supports alerts can be used with webhooks. The alert message only needs to follow the agreed template.

Can the same alert open trades on several exchanges?

Yes. According to the defined rules, a single alert can be executed on several of the client's own accounts or exchanges with different position sizes.

How are timelines and costs determined?

They depend on the number of exchanges to be connected, the scope of the risk rules and the notification requirements. A written proposal is provided after an initial meeting.
