TradingView webhooks

Set up TradingView webhook automation with Hextrade. Send Pine Script alerts to a private webhook URL and execute on Tradovate, ProjectX, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, and more.

TradingView webhook automation lets you keep researching in TradingView while Hextrade places the order. Send a Pine Script strategy alert to your private webhook URL; Hextrade executes on the broker account named in the payload.

Webhook platforms

Set platformType to the lowercase value.

Platform	platformType
ProjectX	`projectx`
Tradovate	`tradovate`
NinjaTrader	`ninjatrader`
Rithmic	`rithmic`
TradeLocker	`tradelocker`
MatchTrader	`matchtrader`
Volumetrica	`volumetrica`
MetaTrader 5	`mt5`
Oanda	`oanda`
Hyperliquid	`hyperliquid`
Plus500	`plus500`

Payload template

Paste this into the TradingView alert message:

{
  "ticker": "NQ",
  "action": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
  "sentiment": "{{strategy.market_position}}",
  "quantity": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}",
  "price": "{{close}}",
  "platformType": "projectx",
  "accountId": "your_account_id",
  "tp": "100",
  "sl": "20"
}

Note

tp and sl are ticks, not dollars. Match the instrument tick size. See Futures, CFDs, and Crypto.

Required fields

Field	Description
`platformType`	Broker slug from the table above
`accountId`	Exact ID from Accounts
`symbol` or `ticker`	Instrument
`quantity`	Contracts or shares
`side` or `action`	`buy` or `sell`

Optional fields

Field	Purpose
`strategyName` / `alertName`	Label in logs
`note` / `tags`	Notes and filters
`dryRun`	Validate only — no order
`maxQty`	Hard cap on size
`cooldown`	Seconds before another fill on the same account + symbol
`session` / `sessionTimezone`	`RTH` = 09:30–16:00, `ETH` = outside that window
`tradeWindow`	Custom days and times (`timezone`, `days`, `start`, `end`)
`allowedSymbols`	Whitelist
`symbolOverride`	Send a different symbol than `ticker`
`maxTradesPerDay`	In-memory cap; resets on process restart
`comment` / `timeInForce` / `slippage`	Passed to the broker when supported
`callbackUrl`	POST after success or failure

cooldown and maxTradesPerDay are in-memory. dryRun: true returns HTTP 200 with the planned trade and does not update those counters.

Set it up in TradingView

1
Copy your webhook URL
On Accounts open Webhooks. It looks like https://api.hextrade.io/webhook/your-unique-token.
2
Add an alert
On the chart with your strategy, click Add Alert.
3
Paste URL and JSON
Condition = your strategy. Webhook URL = the Hextrade URL. Message = the payload. Replace your_account_id.
4
Set platform and ticker
platformType, accountId, ticker, and optional tp / sl.
5
Test small
Start with 1 micro contract before you scale.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Alert fires, no order	`accountId` must match Accounts exactly
`platformType` error	Use lowercase slugs
`tp` / `sl` ignored	Values are ticks
Alert never fires	Alert must be active and the strategy must be on the chart
Broker reject	Balance, limits, or session hours

Warning

TradingView can delay delivery by a few seconds. Watch the first live fills. Keep the webhook URL private — regenerate it on Accounts if it leaks.
