In this comprehensive guide, we'll show you exactly how to automate TradingView alerts and connect them to major Indian brokers using webhook automation. Whether you're a day trader, swing trader, or options trader, this step-by-step tutorial will help you set up algo trading automation in under 30 minutes.
🤖 What is TradingView Alert Automation?
TradingView alert automation is the process of connecting your TradingView chart signals (like RSI crossovers, MACD signals, or price breakouts) to your broker's trading platform via webhooks. When an alert is triggered on TradingView, a JSON payload is sent to a webhook URL, which then places a buy/sell order on your broker's platform.
How It Works (Simple Explanation):
TradingView Chart → Alert Triggers → Webhook Fires →
FindNex/Bot Receives Signal → Sends API Request →
Broker (Zerodha/Angel One) Executes Trade → Order Filled
Execution Speed: Typically 0.5-2 seconds from alert to order placement.
