Configuring FMZ Webhook Orders for FTX Futures

Summary

This document describes a trading setup that connects TradingView alerts to an FMZ robot and routes commands to spot or futures markets. The example distinguishes long, short, and position-closing actions, and uses exchange direction settings to handle futures orders. For limit orders, it submits at the current ask or bid; a configuration switch changes the order calls to market orders. The author reports that FTX executions included many taker fills despite selecting limit execution, and that reversing a position directly did not work as expected, although the same setup reportedly worked on Binance.

The material is primarily an implementation example and troubleshooting prompt, rather than a tested solution. It does not explain why FTX orders were classified as taker trades, establish that the limit orders were resting, or show a corrected implementation. Exchange-specific order rules, price movement, and the behavior of sequential close-and-open orders may affect results, so the sample alone cannot establish reliable execution behavior.

Key ideas

• The example routes TradingView webhook commands through FMZ to spot or futures order functions.
• Futures actions set an exchange direction for opening or closing long and short positions.
• The limit-order branch submits buys at the ask and sells at the bid, while a switch selects market orders.
• The author reports unexpected taker fills and failed direct position reversals on FTX.
• The document raises an exchange-specific execution question but does not provide a verified resolution.
