Automating OctoBot Trades with TradingView Pine Script Alerts
Summary
This guide explains how to connect TradingView strategy order events to OctoBot. In Pine Script, users attach an alert message to entry, exit, or close calls; the message carries parameters such as exchange, symbol, volume, and signal. When setting up the TradingView alert, the strategy must be selected as the condition and the alert body configured to forward the strategy order’s message.
The document also suggests defining separate messages for different actions or trade setups, and editing the symbol value when adapting a strategy for multiple assets. It provides no performance evidence, position-sizing framework, or risk controls. The method depends on correctly matching the alert payload to OctoBot’s expected format and configuring the TradingView alert as described; the page points readers to separate guides for those details.
Key ideas
- Pine Script strategy order calls can carry custom alert messages for OctoBot.
- TradingView alerts should use the strategy as their condition and forward the order alert message.
- Separate messages can be prepared for entries, exits, take-profit actions, or cancellations.
- The symbol and other message parameters can be adjusted for different assets.

With OctoBot, you can listen to <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/?aff_id=27595" rel="nofollow">TradingView</a> <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/en/v5/index.html#" rel="nofollow">Pine Script</a> strategies signals
to automate your trades.
## Créer une alerte de strategie
To send alerts from a strategy, use the <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-docs/en/v5/concepts/Alerts.html?highlight=alert_message#order-fill-events" rel="nofollow">`alert_message`</a> parameter from Pine Script strategy functions which can generate order.
1. Define the content of your alert before any `strategy.entry`, `strategy.exit` or `strategy.close` call:
- example: `messageBuy = "EXCHANGE=binance;SYMBOL=SOLUSDT;VOLUME=100a%;SIGNAL=BUY"`
> Note: when defining your alert, remember to add `;` between each parameter.
2. In the strategy section, add `alert_message=messageBuy` to your strategy `entry`, `exit` or `close` calls:
- example: `strategy.entry("Buy", strategy.long, comment="Buy Signal Triggered", alert_message=messageBuy)`
3. When creating a new alert (_right-click on the strategy / add new alert_) make sure that you: - Select the name of your strategy as the condition - Name the alert (the name can be whatever you want) - Replace **ALL** the message content with exactly `{{strategy.order.alert_message}}`
- _Et voilà !_ This alert will automatically notify your OctoBot each time your strategy executes `entry`, `exit` or `close` calls.
Tips:
- For multi-coin, simply edit the strategy and modify the SYMBOL entry in the messageBuy definition. You can thus vary the parameters according to the assets.
- It can be easier to define multiple messages such as `messageBuy`, `messageBuyWithATakeProfit`, `messageSell`or even `messageCancel` and use the appropriate message later on (with the `alert_message` parameter) when calling `entry`, `exit` or `close`.
