Routing TradingView Alerts to Exchange Orders Through a Bot
Summary
The article explains a workflow for turning TradingView Pine strategy alerts into orders placed by a separate trading bot. TradingView sends a webhook request to an extended API, which forwards the request body as an interactive message to a running bot. The bot parses a structured signal containing an exchange index, market, contract type, price, action, and amount, then validates fields and dispatches spot or futures operations. The design can address multiple configured exchange accounts, with the signal selecting which one to operate.
The article also describes using Pine alert placeholders to populate fields such as order action, size, price, and strategy order identifiers, and outlines setup prerequisites including an eligible TradingView account, a reachable bot host, and configured exchange credentials. Its evidence is an implementation walkthrough and simulated webhook examples, not a measured trading result. The strategy code is presented as a reference that may need adjustment; correct action names, payload formatting, account configuration, and execution behavior require care before live use.
Key ideas
- TradingView can calculate signals while an external bot handles exchange execution through a webhook and API relay.
- Use a structured message to specify the target exchange, instrument, contract type, action, price, and amount.
- Pine alert placeholders can insert strategy order details into the message body.
- Validate the incoming signal and distinguish spot actions from futures opening and closing actions.
- The implementation is a reference design, so deployment and order handling need platform-specific review.
