Automating TradingView Strategy Alerts Through OctoBot Email
Summary
This guide explains a workflow for routing TradingView strategy alerts to OctoBot by email so the bot can place trades in response. It outlines adding the TradingView interface in OctoBot, generating a personal alert email address, registering and confirming that address with TradingView, and then starting OctoBot to follow alerts in its supported format. The guide also states that this setup requires the Premium OctoBot Extension and can be used across markets and exchanges.
The document explicitly warns that TradingView has since restricted email-based alert automation, so the described workflow is no longer available as written. It gives setup instructions but provides no trading strategy, performance evidence, or risk controls. Its value is therefore mainly as an explanation of an integration pattern and its dependency on platform features, with current usability limited by the stated restriction.
Key ideas
- TradingView alerts can be connected to OctoBot through a generated personal email address in the described workflow.
- The setup involves configuring the interface, registering and confirming the email address, and starting OctoBot to process alerts.
- The guide says the Premium OctoBot Extension is required for email-based trading.
- TradingView has restricted this automation method, and the document provides no performance or risk-management evidence.

When creating a TradingView alert, you can choose to be notified by email. This service is available with a **free TradingView account** and can be used to automate trades using OctoBot.

The [Premium OctoBot
Extension](../../octobot-configuration/premium-octobot-extension) is required
to trade with OctoBot using TradingView email alerts.

## TradingView email alerts configuration
To automate your trades based on TradingView alerts using emails, simply go to your `Accounts` configuration, select the `Interfaces` tab and add the `TradingView` interface.
In case you didn't authenticate to your OctoBot account or setup your email yet (or did not yet purchase the Premium OctoBot Extension), then just click on `GENERATE EMAIL` to connect to your account and setup your alert email address on TradingView.

## Start trading using your TradingView strategy
Your OctoBot is now ready to trade using your TradingView alerts. You can trade on any market and exchange following the [OctoBot open source alert format](alert-format).
Once configured, your personal TradingView alert email address will be shown next to your TradingView configuration. In case you need to go back to the configuration interface, for example to revalidate your email address, just use the wheel icon.
