TradingView: How to send "close" correctly

Quick answer

To close, send an explicit close action:

{"action":"close","ticker":"EURUSD"}

Symptoms

• Entries work, but closes don’t
• TradingView placeholder {{strategy.order.action}} sends only buy/sell (not close)

Most common causes

• Using {{strategy.order.action}} expecting it to output "close"
• Webhook messages don’t differentiate entry vs exit

Fix steps

1) Use an explicit close message

In your alert message:

{"action":"close","ticker":"{{ticker}}"}

2) If using a Pine strategy, use alert_message=

Build the JSON yourself in Pine (recommended for exits), and set TradingView alert message to:

• {{strategy.order.alert_message}}

Verify it worked

1. Open a small test position
2. Trigger a close alert
3. Confirm receiver closes and Logs show close events
