TradingView: Common alert mistakes

Quick answer

If TradingView signals aren’t working, check these first:

1. You pasted the current webhook URL
2. Alert message is valid JSON
3. Required fields exist (action, ticker)
4. Your plan supports webhooks

Common mistakes

Wrong webhook URL

• The app restart can change the URL.
• Fix: copy the new URL from Accounts and update alerts.

Invalid JSON

• Missing quotes, trailing commas, or using plain text.
• Fix: validate your JSON and keep it minimal.

Wrong placeholders

• {{strategy.order.action}} outputs buy/sell and can be misleading for closes.
• Fix: use explicit close messages or {{strategy.order.alert_message}} with custom JSON.

Wrong field names

• Use ticker (or your configured symbol field) consistently.

Webhooks not supported on plan

• TradingView webhooks require a paid plan.

Verify it worked

1. Trigger the alert
2. Confirm the app receives it in Logs
