How it works

The idea in one minute

On TradingView you can set up an alert- a rule that watches the market and notifies you when something happens (for example “price crossed the moving average”).

Normally that alert just pings your phone. With a webhook, the alert can instead send a message to a web address. Think of the webhook URL as a private mailbox: whenever TradingView drops a note in it, we read the note and act on it immediately.

When a note arrives, we place the matching order on your exchange. No screens to watch, no buttons to press.

Setting it up - three steps

1. 1

   Connect your broker

   Create an API key on your exchange (Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken or KuCoin) and paste it into the Brokers page. We test the key right away and store it encrypted - we never see it in plain text.

2. 2

   Create a webhook

   A webhook is just a private web address we generate for you. Pick which broker account it should trade on, and optionally set a default symbol and order size.

3. 3

   Paste the URL into TradingView

   Open any TradingView alert, tick the "Webhook URL" box, and paste the address we gave you. That's the whole setup - no coding required.

What happens when a signal fires

1. TradingView sends the alert to your webhook URL.
2. We check the message and read what to do - buy or sell, which symbol, how much.
3. We record the order so you have a full history.
4. We place the order on your connected exchange straight away.
5. We save the result - filled or rejected - so you can see exactly what happened.

Every order shows up on your Orders page within seconds.

Is my exchange account safe?

• API keys are stored encrypted. They are only decrypted for the instant it takes to place an order.
• When you create the key on your exchange, enable trading only - never withdrawals. That way the key can place orders but can never move money out.
• Each webhook URL contains a long secret token. Keep it private - anyone with the URL could trigger orders.
• You can disable or delete a webhook at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You connect an exchange, create a webhook, and paste the URL into a TradingView alert. There is no code to write.

Which exchanges are supported?

Binance, Bybit, OKX, Coinbase, Kraken and KuCoin.

Is my exchange account safe?

API keys are stored encrypted and only decrypted for the instant it takes to place an order. Create the key with trading permission only - never withdrawals - so it can place orders but can never move money out.

How fast are orders placed?

When TradingView sends the alert, the matching order is placed on your exchange immediately and the result is recorded within seconds.

Can I stop a webhook?

Yes. You can disable or delete any webhook at any time, and each webhook is billed separately so you only pay for the ones you use.
