This guide will help you set up a Signal Bot that works with any DaviddTech strategy, allowing you to receive alerts and execute trades automatically based on your DaviddTech strategies active in TradingView.
Click Signal Bot in the left sidebar
Find the Create Signal Bot form on the right side
Under the Strategy Type menu, select DaviddTech Strategy
Click Next to proceed
Under the General Settings menu:
Select your connected exchange (or click Add New Exchange)
Give your bot a memorable name under Bot Name
Leave the Start Condition as is
Click Next
Copy the script under Script Configuration and Webhook URL
Now that your Signal bot is set up within TradingView, set up an alert to notify you of any trade setups or place trades automatically on your exchange by following these steps:
On TradingView, click Add Alert to open your strategy's Alerts settings (You can do so via the triple-dot menu next to your strategy's name). This will open the Create Alert form.
Make sure the first dropdown under Condition is set to your strategy's name
Set the second dropdown to one of the following:
Order fills only to have orders placed without being alerted
alert() function calls only to get alerts but no orders placed
Order fills and alert() function calls to have both
Set an alert expiration date (or Open-ended for everlasting alerts)
Name your alert (preferably the same as your Signal Bot)
Click the Notifications tab
Click Create to finish setting up your Signal bot
After configuring all settings, go back to DaviddTech and click the Activate button under the Create Signal Bot form.
Your new Signal Bot will appear in your My Signals list
You can now manage your bot as described below
Find your bot in the My Signals list
Click the three dots (⋮) menu to:
Pause your bot temporarily
View Trade Logs to track performance
Delete your bot if needed
Paste the script you copied from DaviddTech in into the Message field of the Create Alert form
Check the Webhook URL Checkbox and paste the Webhook URL you copied in into the text field
Go to TradingView and open your desired DaviddTech Strategy's settings (make sure the strategy is active on your chart, then click the Cog icon)
On the strategy's settings (under the Inputs Tab):
Ensure that the Optimiser Mode 🚀 checkbox is Not checked
Scroll all the way down until you reach the LIVE TRADING (IMPORTANT) section.
Check the Live Trading checkbox and set a Starting Date and Time to when you began (or plan to) live trading with the strategy.
Right below, under the USE SIMPLE BOT BY TRIGGER.TRADE? section, check Use Simple Bot
If desired, check the Use Safety TP and/or Use safety SL to enable your strategy's take profit/stop loss settings
Use Safety TP and Use safety SL won't work if your strategy uses a trailing stop loss.
Click the OK button under the form
