No-Code Alert Setup

This guide shows you how to automate TradingView strategies without accessing their source code. Make sure your script is a strategy (not an indicator). If it's an indicator, use our TradeSgnl Strategy Builder instead.

Follow these steps to wire your TradingView strategy up to your TradeSgnl EA.

Create an Alert on Your Strategy

Apply your strategy to the desired chart and create an alert (Alt+A on Windows / Option+A on Mac). Select your strategy under Condition.

If you see an "Order fills only" dropdown option, select it. If you don't see this dropdown below the strategy name, skip this step and proceed to the alert message.

If available, select 'Order fills only' to trigger alerts on actual trade signals

Configure the Alert Message

In the alert message field, enter the following format:

LicenseID,{{ticker}},{{strategy.prev_market_position}}>{{strategy.market_position}},risk=0.01

Enter the alert message in the 'Message' field

Important

• Replace "LicenseID" with your actual TradeSgnl license ID
• Enter a custom risk value (e.g., risk=0.01) — TradingView placeholders cannot be used for risk
• {{ticker}} returns the symbol (EURUSD, BTCUSD, etc.)
• The transition pair (e.g. flat>long, long>flat, long>short) lets one alert handle entries, exits, and reversals. TradeSgnl translates it server-side into the right action verb.

Add the Webhook URL

In the Notifications tab, check Webhook URL and paste the following URL:

https://webhook.tradesgnl.com

Add the webhook URL in the Notifications tab

Save the Alert

Click Create to save your alert. Your strategy will now send signals to your TradeSgnl EA.

• Start with Demo Trading

  Test all strategies on demo accounts first to verify alerts, position sizing, and stop loss/take profit functionality before risking real capital

• Configure Alerts Properly

  Use 'Once Per Bar Close' trigger, set appropriate expirations, and name alerts clearly with symbol and timeframe information

• Manage Risk Carefully

  Always use stop losses, start with small position sizes (0.01-0.1 lots), and set daily/weekly loss limits in your EA configuration

• Select Strategies Wisely

  Choose strategies with proven backtest results, favorable profit factors (> 1.5), reasonable drawdowns, and consistent performance across different market conditions
