Automating trading from TradingView
With OctoBot, you can listen to TradingView alerts and automate trades based on your TradingView indicators or strategies.
This way, when a TradingView alert is fired, you can instantly create orders on the exchange of your choice.
This works with any kind of alert, whether it is from:
- A price threshold you defined yourself
- A threshold value from an indicator
- A trading strategy you are using on TradingView
The following guides cover using TradingView with OctoBot trading bots.
Please use the TradingView automated trading investor guide if you are automating TradingView strategies using a TradingView OctoBot from app.octobot.cloud.
