TradingView Automation

Automate your TradingView alerts into real orders on your broker accounts. Turn any indicator, strategy or price alert into a live order — on one account or many — without writing any code. TradingView sends the signal; AutoTrader Web places the order you set up.

TradingView is part of our wider Alert Automation feature, which explains the full alert format, option structures and risk limits. This page covers the TradingView-specific setup.

What you can do

• Turn a TradingView alert into a single order the moment it fires.
• Trade options without typing the full symbol — just give the strike and expiry, or pick a ready-made structure such as a straddle or an iron condor that you configure.
• Send one alert to one account or a whole group of accounts.
• Attach a target and a stop-loss to the order, or place a full bracket or cover order with variety=AT_BO — on every broker we support, with a stop that can trail the price.
• Add your own risk limits, like a maximum loss or an auto-exit time.

You bring the strategy and the signal. The tool only places the orders you set up, and you can stop it at any time.

How to set it up

1. Get your private webhook link. In AutoTrader Web, open your Alert Automation settings and create a webhook token. You get a private link — you do not put your API key into TradingView.
2. Create an alert in TradingView (press Alt + A), turn on Webhook URL, and paste your private link.
3. Write your order in the alert Message box, one setting per line. For example, buy one lot at market:

account=MY_ACCOUNT
symbol=NIFTY
exchange=NFO
producttype=NORMAL
optiontype=CE
strike=ATM
expiry=weekly
tradetype=BUY
ordertype=MARKET
lots=1

Not sure your alert is right? Check it here before you put it in TradingView — the same checks that run when your alert reaches us:

The full alert format — every field, option settings, ready-made structures and risk limits — is in the Alert Automation guide.

Trading a stock or future? You can paste TradingView’s own symbol (like {{ticker}}, NIFTY1! or NIFTYU2026) instead of typing ours — see Using your TradingView symbol.

Coding in Pine? You can skip writing the alert text — our free, open-source Pine library builds it for you. Add import StocksDeveloper/StocksDeveloperAlerts/1 as atw to your script and call a function like atw.option(...). See the Alert Automation guide for every function, or get the library on TradingView.

Worked examples (with video)

Prefer to follow a complete example? These step-by-step guides build a TradingView strategy, backtest it, and automate it with AutoTrader Web — each with a full video walkthrough (Hindi):

• Moving Average strategy — automated trading — a moving-average crossover strategy, start to finish.
• Supertrend strategy — automated trading — a Supertrend intraday strategy, start to finish.

Both use the plain-text alert format shown above.

Trade options and strategies

You can send a single option order, or ask for a full option structure (straddle, strangle, spreads, iron condor, iron fly) with one line. You choose the structure and set the values; AutoTrader Web builds and places each leg for you. See ready-made option structures.

Trade many accounts at once

Use group=YOUR_GROUP instead of account= to place the same order in every live account in a group. One TradingView subscription can drive many accounts this way. First create a group under Accounts → Group Accounts — see Group Accounts.

Already using the classic JSON setup?

The older setup, which uses a longer JSON message and a Pine Script library, still works and your existing alerts keep running. For new setups we recommend Alert Automation. If you need the old format, see the classic setup.

Your alert fired but no order was placed

Start on the Alert Trail screen in AutoTrader Web (Alert Auto. → Alert Trail). It lists every alert we received, the step it reached, and the reason it stopped. That reason is the answer — you do not have to guess, and you do not need to ask us first.

If your alert is not on that list at all, it never reached us. Open the alert in TradingView and check it is still active, that the Webhook URL box is ticked, and that it holds your private link.

If it is on the list but was refused, the reason is nearly always one of these three, and each is a small edit in TradingView:

What you wrote	What happens	The fix
account: MY_ACCOUNT	Nothing is read. A line with a colon is skipped, so the whole alert is empty to us.	Use an equals sign: account=MY_ACCOUNT. Change every : to =.
TradingView’s default message, like SBIN, 1 Crossing Up	Nothing is read. It is a sentence, not an order.	Clear the Message box and write your own order in it, one setting per line.
A message starting with { that contains "command"	Nothing is read. That is the classic format, and it only works with a classic webhook link.	Rewrite it in the format above, or point the alert back at your classic link.

None of these have anything to do with your wallet, your licence or your broker. The alert stops while we are still reading it, long before any of that is involved.

To be sure before you go live, paste your message into the alert checker — it gives you the same reason we would.

Does your alert look late?

The time shown against an alert on your chart is the time the candle started, not the moment your alert fired. On a one-minute chart the candle marked 09:30 runs until 09:30:59, so an alert on that candle can fire at any second inside that minute — which is why an alert sometimes looks 20 or 30 seconds late when nothing is slow.

Add timenow={{timenow}} to your alert and you can see the exact firing time. See TradingView alert looks delayed or late.

Before you automate

Please read the precautions first. In short: stop your alerts when you are not using them, test with the smallest size first, and avoid changing settings during live market hours (TradingView can repaint a signal). Automation has its own risks — make sure you understand your alerts before you rely on them.
