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 webhook as the following screenshot.

    set-webhook-url

    You will find OctoBot's alert webhook URL on your OctoBot's configuration page or in OctoBot's starting logs. It should be an url like https://webhook.octobot.cloud/tradingview/xxxx 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)
