Automating trading from a TradingView indicator

With OctoBot, you can listen to TradingView indicator signals to automate your trades.

Create an indicator alert

  • Go to the right menu and click on the alert button

    alert-menu-button

  • Create a new alert with create-alert-button

  • Choose the condition : an indicator cross, a price drop, whatever you want

  • Add your OctoBot alert email address or webhook as the following screenshot.

    set-webhook-url

    You will find OctoBot’s alert email address or webhook URL on your OctoBot’s configuration page or in OctoBot’s starting logs. It should be an email address or url like https://XXXXXXXX.octobot.cloud/webhook/trading_view or http://XXXXXXXX.ngrok.io/webhook/trading_view.

    WARNING: To improve performances, webhooks are started only when required, this means that you need to activate a webhook related tentacle to get the webhook url (a tentacle such as the trading view signals trading mode)
