Automations
Automations connect Stratmill to tools outside it. Today that means TradingView: send your alerts to a paper-trading strategy, or import an open-source strategy script for the research pipeline to rebuild and test. Each automation asks for your informed consent first, and you can revoke it at any time.
Needs a Stratmill account; signed-in members go straight to the Automations page.

One page in your workspace holds your consents, your TradingView webhook and your script imports.
Some automations act with your accounts on other platforms, or may go against a platform's terms. Each one shows its risk statement and needs your consent. The Automations page lists every consent with its version, and revoking one stops the automation at its next step.
Create a private webhook address, paste it into a TradingView alert together with the message template Stratmill provides, and every alert that arrives is checked and recorded as accepted or refused, with the reason.
Paste the source of an open-source TradingView strategy script with its address and author. The Research Lead restates its rules, the Strategy Developer writes a new implementation, and the author is credited.
Alerts reach a paper account, never real money, until you sign off on live trading yourself.
Read the TradingView alerts terms and accept them.
Create your webhook address; it is shown only once.
Paste the address and the message template into your TradingView alert.
Choose a market and symbol; the paper account follows your latest alert.
The alert decides the direction and the size; the paper account follows the most recent one.
A buy or long alert opens a long position, a sell or short alert opens a short one, and a close, flat or exit alert closes it. On a spot market a sell alert only exits. Each position uses the share of the account set in the alert and opens when the next bar closes.
Choose Binance USD-M futures, Binance spot, Hyperliquid perpetuals, Bybit linear perpetuals or OKX perpetual swaps, and a leverage of up to 5x on perpetuals and 1x on spot. Going live needs your sign-off on the Live Trading page, like any strategy.
Alerts are signals you send; an imported script becomes a hypothesis that is tested like any other.

| Automation | What Stratmill does | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| TradingView alerts | Receives alerts at your private webhook address and records each one as accepted or refused, with the reason. | The address is shown once; creating a new one turns the old one off at once. Alerts are refused while your consent is missing or out of date. |
| Alerts in paper trading | Trades the alerts for one symbol in a paper account on the market you choose. | Alerts skip Stratmill's backtest, optimisation and review. A delayed, duplicated or mistyped alert can open or close a position you did not intend. |
| Script import | Creates a hypothesis in your workspace from the Pine source you paste, credited to its author. | Only strategy scripts that place orders can be imported; indicators cannot. Each import needs credits, and the tested result can differ from the result shown on TradingView. |
TradingView's terms of use forbid automated trading on its data, alerts or webhooks, and third-party services that rely on its webhooks. Sending your alerts to Stratmill may breach those terms and TradingView may restrict your account, which is why Stratmill asks for your consent first. You remain responsible for your TradingView account.
No. Alerts are signals, not verified strategies: they skip backtesting, optimisation and review. A script you import is different: it becomes a hypothesis that runs through the full pipeline.
Alerts trade in paper first. Moving a TradingView paper strategy to live trading needs your sign-off on the Live Trading page, like any other strategy.
No. You paste the source yourself; Stratmill never fetches scripts from TradingView. The Research Lead restates the rules in its own words, the developer writes a new implementation, and the author is credited with a link to the script. Import only scripts published as open source whose licence allows reuse.
Revoke its consent on the Automations page: the automation stops at its next step and new alerts are refused. You can also turn off your webhook address, so that alerts sent to it are refused from then on.
Yes. The Automations page lists your recent alerts with the time, action, symbol and size, whether each was accepted or refused, and the reason.
Trade your alerts in paper with a record of every one, or let the research pipeline rebuild and test an open-source script.
Stratmill is an AI trading strategy platform, not financial advice or a broker. Backtest and paper results are hypothetical. Trading involves risk of loss.
