Executing TradingView Webhook Signals Through an HTTP Service
Summary
This document describes a service that receives TradingView webhook messages and turns validated signals into exchange orders. A signal specifies an exchange index, market, contract type, price, action, and amount. Optional IP allowlisting and passphrase checks provide basic request filtering, while the handler forwards accepted messages to a main-thread task queue.
The trading loop checks signal fields, selects spot or futures behavior, reads order-book data to infer price and amount precision, and maps actions such as buying, selling, opening futures positions, or closing them to exchange calls. A test signal and a rolling status table support basic operational checks. The document provides implementation logic, not evidence of trading performance. It does not describe robust order-state reconciliation, retry behavior, or comprehensive security controls; the shown validation and runtime error handling have limitations that matter in live use.
Key ideas
- Webhook messages carry market, contract, action, price, and quantity fields for order execution.
- The HTTP handler can restrict incoming requests by source IP and passphrase.
- The main loop validates signals and maps spot and futures actions to exchange operations.
- Order-book data is used to set price and amount precision before submitting orders.
- The document gives no performance results and leaves important live-trading safeguards unspecified.
