Step-by-Step Setup Guide
1) Confirm Automation Policy with E8
Verify with support that automated trading via TradeLocker bridges is allowed, and ask about any instrument/session restrictions.
2) Prepare Your TradeLocker Account
Once your E8 evaluation or funded account is live, log into TradeLocker to access your credentials.
3) Connect TradeLocker to PickMyTrade
- Sign up on PickMyTrade.
- Go to Connections → Add TradeLocker. Authenticate with your credentials.
4) Create TradingView Alert Template
In PickMyTrade, use the “Generate Alert” tool to get a webhook URL and JSON payload.
5) Configure Alerts in TradingView
Paste the alert JSON and webhook URL into TradingView’s alert box—ensure it includes action, symbol, qty, SL, TP.
6) Demo-Test Thoroughly
Run 20+ test alerts in TradeLocker demo mode to validate exact mapping and no duplicate executions.
7) Go Live Carefully
Begin with minimum trade sizes during regular hours. Monitor for at least a full session before scaling.
Pro Tips for Automation Success
- Bracket Orders as Standard: Entry + SL + TP in one package ensures risk is controlled from fill.
- Time-Limited Trade Windows: Enable trades only in high liquidity periods to minimize slippage.
- Risk Overlays: Set daily and per-trade caps in PickMyTrade to avoid big surprises.
- Cooldown Timers: Prevent repeated signals by applying minimum intervals between alerts.
- Log Every Signal: For debugging and compliance, keep logs of trades and alerts.
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Assuming Automation is Allowed: Always confirm with E8 support first.
- Broken JSON Alerts: Even a small typo breaks the system—use generated templates.
- Skipping Testing: Live-trading without test runs can backfire when markets spike.
- Ignoring Platform Limits: Know any TradeLocker/E8 restrictions on symbols or position sizes.
