Routing TradingView Signals to Exchange Orders Through OctoBot
Summary
The document explains how OctoBot can act on buy and sell signals from TradingView indicators or strategies. Alerts sent through a webhook can prompt the bot to create corresponding simulated or live orders on a supported exchange. Signals may also include order details such as order type, take profit, and stop loss, and can generate notifications. The article describes a way to use an existing TradingView strategy as the signal source rather than explaining how to design or evaluate that strategy.
For OctoBot Cloud, webhook setup is handled automatically; users create alerts in TradingView. A self-hosted setup requires making the bot reachable to TradingView through a configured webhook, which may involve paid software. The page provides no performance evidence, risk controls, or detailed setup procedure, and it notes that the French translation is incomplete. Trading outcomes therefore depend on the chosen TradingView logic and the user's configuration.
Key ideas
- TradingView alerts can trigger simulated or live orders through OctoBot.
- Signals can carry order parameters such as order type, take profit, and stop loss.
- OctoBot Cloud configures its webhook automatically, while self-hosted users must configure reachability.
- The document explains signal routing, not the profitability or risk of any TradingView strategy.
