You add a Bollinger Bands cross and an EMA cross to your chart, set up two alerts, and now your phone buzzes twice for what is really one trade idea. One buzz means “price crossed the band.” The other means “price crossed the EMA.” Neither one alone means “both conditions lined up, take the trade.”
If your TradingView alert fires but PickMyTrade rejects the payload or sends the wrong contract count, the cause is often one mixed-up placeholder. {{strategy.market_position}} and {{strategy.market_position_size}} look almost identical in the alert editor, but they return completely different data types. A third relative, {{strategy.position_size}}, adds a signed-number trap on top. Pick the wrong one for
Trader Workstation has no webhook listener. There’s no URL you can paste into TradingView that TWS will ever answer directly, and that single fact is why more setup guides for this pairing get abandoned halfway through than for almost any other broker. Interactive Brokers built TWS around a local socket API, not an inbound HTTP
Every “no-code trading bot” post shows you a screenshot of a dashboard and tells you to trust it. If you’re the kind of trader who reads r/algotrading before buying a tool, that’s not proof of anything. This blog tells you about tradingview automation for prop firm accounts. So this one shows you the actual alertcondition()
The hard part was never the code. We timed a full no-code TradingView automation bot build with a stopwatch running, and the thing that ate the clock wasn’t wiring or JSON. It was deciding what the bot should do when reality stopped cooperating. Total elapsed: 72 minutes. Forty-one of those were construction. The other thirty-one
Writing the strategy was never the hard part. That’s the thing nobody tells you when you skip TradingView’s webhook and decide to build the whole automation stack in Python yourself. You already know pandas. You’ve written asyncio code that didn’t deadlock. Pine Script feels like a toy, and ccxt is right there, and the whole
Anthropic launched the Model Context Protocol in November 2024. Less than two years later, more than 22,000 community MCP servers are publicly listed, and not one of them is an official TradingView, Tradovate, or Rithmic connector. That gap matters more in futures trading than almost anywhere else in finance, because a bad automated order on
TradingView’s Pine Editor can convert a Pine Script v5 strategy to v6 in one click, and the result compiles clean almost every time. That’s the trap. A script that compiles isn’t the same as a script that trades the way it did yesterday. Pine Script v6 changed how order functions evaluate conditions, how margin gets
TradingView sends every webhook alert, from every account, on every plan, for every strategy, from exactly four IP addresses. Not four thousand. Four. That’s a small enough number that anyone running a self-hosted relay in front of PickMyTrade can lock the door and let only those four through. I run a small VPS-based bridge in
