Alert settings
To run Gunbot with the TradingView add-on, only the settings below apply. Standard strategy and pair settings are ignored unless TV_GB is enabled.
Trading limits for buy orders come from configuration settings, but you can override them by including a trading limit in the alert message.
Orders placed by the TradingView add-on are market orders by default to ensure fills. You can optionally send limit orders instead.
Webhooks
Add at least one pair for each exchange where you want to execute alerts. This establishes exchange connectivity.
This can be any pair; the add-on will not use it. Only with TV_GB enabled will pairs also cycle and process strategy settings.
Emails
Add all pairs you want to execute alerts on. Only with TV_GB enabled will pairs also cycle and process strategy settings.
Gain
Set the minimum gain (%) that TradingView-initiated trades must meet when TV_PROTECTION is enabled.
If a TradingView sell alert would yield lower gain than this value, Gunbot will not place the order. Use this to prevent selling at a loss.
