TradingView: Security (secrets/tokens)

Quick answer

Use a webhook secret/token so random internet traffic can’t trigger trades.

1. Set a secret when creating the TradingView account (or in settings)
2. Include secret in every TradingView alert message

Symptoms (when you need this)

• You want protection against unauthorized webhook calls

Best practices

• Use a long, random token
• Keep it private (don’t paste it into public screenshots)
• Rotate it if you suspect it leaked

Example

{"action":"buy","ticker":"EURUSD","secret":"YOUR_TOKEN"}

Verify it worked

1. Trigger an alert with the correct secret → should work
2. Trigger an alert with the wrong secret → should be rejected (Logs should show it)
