Syntax Generator

Introduction

The Syntax Generator is a visual form in the TradeSgnl Portal that builds signals for you. Pick your symbol, action, risk, and any optional parameters; the generator emits the exact text TradingView (or any other webhook source) needs to send. It also has a one-click Test Signal button that fires a signal straight into your terminal, so you can verify your EA is wired up correctly before touching TradingView at all.

Verify Your Setup with Test Signal

The fastest way to confirm your EA, license, and terminal are all working is to send a Test Signal from the generator. This skips TradingView entirely, so you can isolate "is my EA receiving signals?" from "is my TradingView alert configured correctly?".

The Interface at a Glance

The page has two top-level tabs that switch what kind of order you're building. Everything below the tabs is one shared form.

Below the tabs, you'll see:

• Two preview boxes (Entry on top with a blue border, Exit on bottom with an orange border). Each shows the live generated signal text and has its own Copy and Test Signal buttons.
• Two output-mode buttons for paste-ready strings: Custom Strategy Message (one alert handles entries, exits, and reversals) and Strategy Builder Preset (JSON for the Strategy Builder UI).
• The configuration card with three grouped sections: shared fields, entry signal, and exit signal.

Configuring a Signal

Shared Fields

These apply to both tabs and to both entry and exit signals.

Market Orders

The Market Orders tab handles immediate entries and reversal-style commands.

Action options:

• Buy / Sell. Open a new position at market price.
• Close Long Then Buy / Sell. Close any existing long positions, then open the chosen direction. Useful for "always be in a position" strategies.
• Close Short Then Buy / Sell. Same idea, but closes shorts first.

Risk / Volume. Number input plus a type selector that determines how the number is interpreted:

Stop Loss & Take Profit. Each has a number and a type selector (Pips, Currency, Price, Percent). The generator emits the correct explicit parameter (sl_pips=, sl_price=, tp_percent=, etc.) so you don't need to remember the naming.

Multi-level take profit with partials. Click the plus icon next to Take Profit to add up to five TP levels. Each level can also have its own partial-close amount, so a single signal can scale out at multiple targets.

Pending Orders

The Pending Orders tab adds a Pending Level field. Everything else (risk, SL, TP, advanced features) works the same way.

Action options: Buy Stop, Buy Limit, Sell Stop, Sell Limit.

Pending Level has its own type selector:

Exit Signal

The Exit section (orange border) builds the closing half of a strategy. The generator auto-suggests an exit action based on your entry action (Buy → Close Buy, Sell → Close Sell, Close Long Then Buy → Close Buy, etc.), but you can override it.

Partial close. Optional — if you want to close only part of the position. The amount can be in lots or percent of the position (0.5 = 50%).

Advanced Features

The Advanced Features section is collapsed by default. Expand it to add trailing stops, breakeven, pyramid, or recovery to any signal.

Trailing Stop

Breakeven

Pyramid

Toggle to include the py flag. The EA opens additional positions in the same direction as the trade moves in your favor, using the rules configured in EA Settings → Pyramid Management.

Recovery

Toggle to include the re flag. The EA opens additional positions in the same direction as the trade moves against you, using the rules configured in EA Settings → Recovery Management.

Exit Controls

Three toggles change how the EA treats opposite-direction positions when the entry fires:

Output Options

The generator produces three different outputs depending on how you want to use it. Pick based on what you're integrating with.

Entry & Exit Signals

The two preview boxes at the top show the individual entry and exit signal text. Use the per-box Copy button to grab one signal at a time.

When to use: you want to create separate TradingView alerts for entries and exits (or you're integrating with something other than TradingView).

LicenseID,EURUSD,buy,risk=0.01,sl_pips=30,tp_pips=60

Custom Strategy Message

Click Custom Strategy Message to copy a single message that handles entries, exits, and reversals. It uses TradingView's {{strategy.prev_market_position}}>{{strategy.market_position}} placeholder, which the TradeSgnl server translates into the right action verb (flat>long → buy, long>flat → closebuy, long>short → closelongsell, etc.).

When to use: you have a Pine Script strategy and want one alert to handle every signal it fires.

LicenseID,{{ticker}},{{strategy.prev_market_position}}>{{strategy.market_position}},risk=0.01,sl_pips=30,tp_pips=60

Strategy Builder Preset

Click Strategy Builder Preset to copy a JSON preset for pasting into the TradeSgnl Strategy Builder. The Builder is a Pine Script that runs on your TradingView chart and reads the preset to generate signals; you only need to configure your alert message as {{strategy.order.alert_message}} and the Builder does the rest.

When to use: you're using the TradeSgnl Strategy Builder to wire any strategy or indicator into automated trading.

Saved Presets

Once a configuration is dialed in, save it for later.

Save a preset. Click Save Preset in the header. The generator auto-suggests a name based on symbol + action + comment. Edit it and confirm.

Load a preset. Click Presets in the header to see your saved configurations grouped by Market vs Pending. Click any preset to load it into the form.

Update or delete. When you edit a loaded preset, the Save button changes to Save Changes. The trash icon next to each preset removes it (with a confirm step).

Where to Use the Output

The Generator produces three different outputs because there are three different ways to automate with TradeSgnl. Pick the card that matches what you're automating — each one links to a full setup guide that covers TradingView alert configuration, webhook URLs, and any strategy-side wiring you need.
