Webhook alerts

Using webhooks, alerts from TradingView.com can be sent directly to a Gunbot instance. You need to be able to run Gunbot on a device that is publicly accessible on port 443.

Initial setup​

Before you start setting up your alerts, you need to:

  • Make sure your system has LibreSSL installed, this will generate the needed certificate
  • Make sure your device is publicly accessible on port 443, the only port allowed by TradingView
  • Enable webhooks support in Gunbot on the TradingView settings page and set a self chosen passphrase to use in alerts, to ensure it is you who sends the alerts that the bot will execute

Notification Message Structure​

For Gunbot to effectively process alerts, the notifications need this specific formatting: secret_key platform trade_type pair quantity rate

Ensure you use the standardized pair syntax for consistency with regular Gunbot operations. The notification's text should be placed in an email subject line.
