Setting up TradersPost

If you're automating trades through a broker with TradersPost, the alert setup is genuinely different from a plain TradingView alert: it needs a specific JSON message plus your TradersPost webhook URL, not just the App/Email/Sound toggles.

  1. 1

    Connect a broker in TradersPost

    In TradersPost, go to Brokers and connect a live or paper broker account. This is a one-time setup.

  2. 2

    Get your TradersPost Webhook URL

    Create a strategy in TradersPost and copy its Webhook URL — you'll paste this into TradingView's alert.

  3. 3

    Create the alert on your chart

    On your strategy's "⋯" menu, click "Add alert on…". Under Options, choose "Once Per Bar Close".

  4. 4

    Paste the Webhook URL and JSON message

    Paste your TradersPost Webhook URL into the alert's "Webhook URL" field, and the JSON message (below) into the "Message" field, then click Create.

The JSON message

TradersPost only requires two fields — ticker and action. For a strategy alert (any LetAlgo strategy), use this — TradingView fills in the {{...}} placeholders automatically:

{
  "ticker": "{{ticker}}",
  "action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
  "sentiment": "{{strategy.market_position}}",
  "quantity": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}",
  "price": "{{close}}"
}

action can also be sent as a fixed value — buy, sell, or exit — if you're setting up a separate alert per direction instead of one alert() call.
