Routing TradingView Alerts to Exchange Orders Through a Trading Bot
Summary
The document describes a workflow for turning TradingView strategy alerts into exchange orders through a hosted trading platform. A Pine script sends a webhook request whose body contains a structured signal, including the instrument, contract type, action, price, and amount. A platform API forwards that message to a running bot, which validates fields, selects a configured exchange account, checks market data and precision, and submits the corresponding spot or futures order. The design supports multiple exchange connections and actions for opening or closing long and short positions.
The article walks through testing with a sample Pine strategy and explains alert placeholders that can populate order details dynamically. It demonstrates signal flow and sample execution, but provides no performance evaluation of the trading logic itself. The example is platform-specific and depends on valid API credentials, correct action mappings, compatible contract settings, and reliable webhook delivery. The supplied code is presented as a starting point that may require adaptation and operational testing.
Key ideas
- TradingView alerts can carry structured order fields in the webhook request body.
- A platform API can relay the alert to a running bot, which maps it to an exchange order.
- The message format must distinguish spot actions from futures entries and position closes.
- Pine alert placeholders can supply values such as order price, size, and identifier.
- The article demonstrates integration mechanics rather than evidence of strategy profitability.
