(passphrase, exchange, order type, pair, amount, price)
The passphrase is something you configure in your Gunbot, to make sure it only processes signals coming from you.Set up your TradingView account and configure the desired indicators or alerts. You can make use of their placeholders to fill in parts of the alert, like the current price.
Enable the webhooks listener in your Gunbot settings, which will receive the trading signals.
