ALERTS · TRADINGVIEW

TradingView alerts

Connect a TradingView strategy to VibeTrade in three parts: a live seat with a webhook token, an instrumented Pine Script that emits signed alert JSON, and a TradingView alert pointing at your webhook URL.

Security essentials

seat_code + webhook_token go in the Pine alert() JSON (alert message).
The URL ?secret= goes in TradingView's webhook URL field only.
Never share instrumented Pine scripts or alert JSON publicly.
Rotate your webhook token from the Seats tab if a script may have leaked.
Pause a seat from the Seats tab to stop accepting alerts without deleting it.

1. Confirm your TradingView plan supports webhooks

TradingView webhooks require a paid plan that includes webhook notifications (Essential / Pro or higher, depending on your region and plan name).

Open TradingView and confirm webhook alerts are available on your account.
Free plans cannot send alerts to VibeTrade.

2. Prepare your VibeTrade seat

Each strategy routes through a seat. The seat must be live before webhooks are accepted.

In VibeTrade, open the dashboard and go to the Seats tab.
Confirm your destination seat status is Live (paused seats reject incoming alerts).
Copy your seat code and webhook token from the seat card — you will need both in your Pine Script alert JSON.
If you ever share a script by mistake, use Rotate webhook token on the seat card and re-instrument.

The webhook token authenticates your alerts. The seat code routes them to the correct account. Both travel inside the JSON emitted by Pine alert() — not in the webhook URL.

3. Add VibeTrader tracking to your strategy

Do not hand-write webhook JSON into your Pine Script. Use the dashboard tool to inject seat-routed tracking for you.

In VibeTrade, open the Strategy tab in the left sidebar.
Find Add VibeTrader tracking to your strategy.
Choose the destination seat for this strategy (must be Live).
Confirm the seat code and webhook token shown in the credentials panel.
Paste your existing Pine Script into the source box.
Click Generate webhook-enabled script.
Copy or download the updated script — it keeps your strategy logic and adds alert() calls that include seat_code and webhook_token.

4. Update the strategy on your TradingView chart

Open TradingView and load the chart/symbol you want to automate.
Open Pine Editor and replace your old script with the instrumented version from VibeTrade.
Save and add the updated script to the chart so the new alert() calls are active.

5. Create a TradingView alert

Click the Alert button (clock icon) or press Alt+A / Option+A.
Under Condition, select your updated strategy.
For alert message, choose Any alert() function call so TradingView sends the JSON your Pine script emits.
For strategy alerts, Order fills only is usually the right choice — alerts fire when the strategy fills orders, not on every bar.
Set expiration as needed, then continue to Notifications.

6. Paste the VibeTrade webhook URL

Open the Notifications tab in the alert dialog.
Enable Webhook URL.
Paste the webhook URL from the Strategy tool or Seats tab. It includes a ?secret= query parameter for drive-by protection:

https://vibetrader.live/api/webhooks/tradingview?secret=…

Put the URL secret only in the TradingView webhook URL field — never inside Pine Script. The webhook_token and seat_code belong in the alert JSON from Pine, not the URL.

Click Create to save the alert.

7. Connect MetaTrader (optional)

Webhook alerts queue trades in VibeTrade. To execute them on your broker account, install and connect the MT4 bridge:

Generate an MT4 connector key from your seat card.
Follow the MT4 install guide to load the Expert Advisor and allow WebRequest.
Complete the dashboard onboarding flow to validate the connection.
