What does it mean to automate TradingView alerts

TradingView alerts are signals generated by:

  • your indicators,
  • your strategies,
  • or simple price conditions.

By default, alerts only notify you (popup, email, SMS, push). You still have to:

  • look at the chart,
  • decide whether to enter a trade,
  • manually open an order with your broker.

To automate TradingView alerts means:

“When my condition is met in TradingView, send a webhook with structured data to a service that immediately converts this alert into real orders at my broker or exchange — without my manual intervention.”

In practice, the chain looks like this:
Strategy/indicator in TradingView → Alert with Webhook → AlgoWay → Orders at the broker / on the exchange

Main ways to automate TradingView alerts

There are three typical approaches.

1. Your own bot / server

You can:

  • rent/use your own server (VPS or dedicated),
  • write a script that receives webhooks from TradingView,
  • implement integrations with each required broker’s/exchange’s API,
  • maintain logs, retries, and security yourself.

Pros:

  • full control over logic and infrastructure,
  • unlimited customization.

Cons:

  • you must handle code, deployment, monitoring, and security yourself,
  • every new broker or exchange is a new integration,
  • if the script or server goes down, trading stops.

This option is for those who want to be both a trader and a full-time developer/devops.

2. Single-broker connector

Some solutions connect TradingView alerts directly to one specific broker or exchange.

Pros:

  • easy to start,
  • decent documentation for that one specific platform.

Cons:

  • you are tied to a single counterparty,
  • no unified logic for multiple accounts and platforms,
  • harder to centralize logs and risk management.

This option is suitable if you only need a single destination and have no plans to expand.

3. Multiplatform TradingView alert connector (AlgoWay)

AlgoWay is a multiplatform TradingView alert connector that:

  • receives webhooks from TradingView once,
  • processes and logs alerts centrally,
  • converts signals into orders on different platforms:
    • MetaTrader 5 (MT5),
    • TradeLocker, Match-Trader, DxTrade, cTrader,
    • Binance, OKX, Bybit, BitMEX, Bitget and others,
    • Alpaca, Tradovate, ProjectX,
  • supports different modes (reverse, hedge, opposite),
  • uses unified risk and money-management rules across accounts.

Instead of building and maintaining your own infrastructure for each broker, you use AlgoWay as a single automation layer for all your TradingView alerts.

How AlgoWay automates TradingView alerts — high-level flow

At the top level, the workflow is as follows:

  1. TradingView generates an alert
    Your strategy or indicator produces a signal according to your conditions.
  2. The alert sends a Webhook to AlgoWay
    You add the Webhook URL in the alert settings and send a JSON payload that includes:
    • symbol,
    • direction (long/short),
    • task (buy/sell/flat),
    • platform name (metatrader5 / bybit / binance / alpaca / ctrader),
    • size or risk in percent (MT5 only),
    • optional SL/TP, trailing, and comments/IDs.
  3. AlgoWay validates and logs the signal
    AlgoWay:
    • checks the webhook UUID and subscription status,
    • parses and validates the JSON,
    • logs everything: time, payload, routing, execution status.
  4. AlgoWay routes and executes orders
    According to the webhook settings, AlgoWay:
    • selects connected brokers/exchanges,
    • converts the generic signal into platform-specific orders,
    • sends them through the corresponding APIs (MT5, crypto exchanges, etc.).
  5. You control execution and history
    In the AlgoWay panel you can:
    • see which alerts were received,
    • check whether orders were sent and whether they were executed,
    • review errors and, if necessary, retry.

Step-by-step: how to automate TradingView alerts with AlgoWay

This section describes the general process. Details for each platform (MT5, Binance, etc.) are covered in separate guides.

Step 2 — Create an AlgoWay account and webhook

  1. Register and log in to your AlgoWay dashboard.
  2. Create a new webhook:
    • select the webhook type on the dashboard — trial or main webhook; the only difference is that the trial can be used free of charge for 14 days, otherwise they are absolutely identical,
    • select the source of your alerts: TradingView, MetaTrader, cTrader,
    • select the platform where you have an account with a deposit,
    • fill in all required fields for account access, if needed,
    • select the working mode (Hedge / Reverse / Opposite). For MetaTrader these settings are located inside your Expert Advisor, which you need to download and install in MT5,
    • the fields for each platform are described in more detail in the manuals and in the blog on our website.

After creation you will receive:

  • the Webhook URL (the endpoint that will be inserted into TradingView),
  • the webhook UUID (an identifier that is used in JSON / the EA where required).

This webhook is the logical “pipe” from TradingView to AlgoWay.

Step 1 — Connect your broker(s) or exchange(s)

Next, you connect the venues where AlgoWay will send trades triggered by alerts.

Typical options:

  • MT5 accounts via a dedicated EA or integration scenario (downloaded from our website),
  • crypto exchanges (Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.) via API keys,
  • CFD/prop platforms such as TradeLocker, Match-Trader, DxTrade, cTrader.

For each connection you usually specify:

  • the account or API key,
  • allowed instruments / markets,
  • leverage/margin parameters (on the broker side),
  • optional per-account risk parameters.

After that, these connections can be assigned to a specific webhook and will start receiving trades.

Step 3 — Configure the alert in TradingView

In TradingView:

  1. Open the chart with the required indicator or strategy.
  2. Click “Add alert”.
  3. Set the condition (strategy alert, indicator signal, or price condition).
  4. In the alert settings:
    • enable “Webhook URL”,
    • paste the AlgoWay Webhook URL that was issued for this webhook,
    • in the message field insert the JSON template defined in the AlgoWay documentation:
      • platform,
      • symbol,
      • side (long/short),
      • task (buy/sell/flat),
      • size or risk %,
      • SL/TP and trailing parameters,
      • optional tv_order_id or comment tags.

From this moment, every triggered alert will send a request with this JSON to AlgoWay.

Step 4 — AlgoWay takes over execution and risk

When an alert arrives:

  • AlgoWay parses the JSON payload,
  • checks symbol mapping and subscription status,
  • applies the configured logic for:
    • direction,
    • position sizing (fixed lot or % of balance/equity),
    • stop-loss and take-profit handling,
    • partial or full position closure.

AlgoWay then sends orders to all enabled accounts and platforms assigned to this webhook and logs the result.

You no longer need to manually log into the terminal or exchange every time TradingView shows a signal — the entire pipeline works automatically.

Typical use cases for automating TradingView alerts with AlgoWay

Below are several practical cases where AlgoWay acts as a “hub of automation” for TradingView alerts.

1. Automating TradingView alerts to MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

  • Strategy logic and backtesting live in TradingView,
  • Alerts from this strategy are sent to AlgoWay,
  • Trades are executed on one or multiple MT5 accounts (prop accounts, personal accounts, etc.).

AlgoWay handles:

  • converting the TradingView signal into an MT5 order,
  • risk management for each account,
  • reverse / hedge / opposite modes and other logic.

2. Automating TradingView alerts to crypto exchanges

  • You connect Binance, OKX, Bybit, BitMEX, Bitget and others via API,
  • You generate alerts in TradingView for spot/margin/futures instruments,
  • You allow AlgoWay to route signals to one or multiple exchanges at the same time.

Typical goals:

  • run the same strategy on different exchanges,
  • separate “main” and “hedging” accounts,
  • use unified risk rules across all crypto accounts.

3. Copying a single TradingView strategy to multiple platforms

You can:

  • keep all logic and testing inside a single TradingView strategy,
  • use one webhook per strategy or per risk profile,
  • distribute trades to:
    • MT5,
    • one or several CFD/prop platforms,
    • one or several crypto exchanges.

AlgoWay’s job is to convert the same TradingView signal into correct orders everywhere, preserving your risk and direction logic.
