# TradingView

> Connect TradingView alerts and Pine Script strategies to Veles bots via webhooks — trigger entries, exits, and averaging directly from TradingView.

If you have a minimum paid subscription to TradingView, you can connect TradingView signals to Veles bots.
Webhooks allow you to send signals to open, close, and average deals directly from TradingView.

Setup recommendations:
1. For the first grid order, use the **"Market" (=0)** Indent to avoid missing entries due to price pulling up.
2. Set up duplicate alerts: not only in the bot but also by email — this simplifies debugging and error diagnostics.

## TradingView Signal

To set up deal entry based on TradingView alerts:

1. Go to **bot settings** and find the "Trade entry conditions" section.

2. Select the **TradingView** filter and copy the generated link.

3. In TradingView, select the timeframe and instrument on the chart, and click the **Alert** button.

4. In the alert settings, paste the copied link into the **Webhook URL** field.

5. If the bot is a regular one, leave the **Message** field blank (its contents are ignored).

    If the bot is a Multi-pair bot, enter the following in the field:
    ```txt
    {{ticker}}
    ```
    Then the message will look like `BTCUSDT`, and the bot will know which pair to open a trade on.

6. Click the **Create** button.

To set up a trade closure based on TradingView signals, repeat the same steps in the **Exit trade** section.

⚠ Opening and closing a deal each require **two different links and two different alerts** in TradingView.

## TradingView Strategy

1. In the bot settings, select **TradingView Strategy** in the filters section and copy the link.

2. In TradingView, select a timeframe and strategy on the chart.
   To do this, click the **Indicators** button, then open the **Technical Analysis and Strategies** tab.
   Strategies are marked with an icon with two up/down arrows.

3. Click the **Alert** button.

4. In the settings, specify:

    - **Condition** = selected strategy
    - Check the box next to **Webhook URL** and paste the link from Veles
    - In the Message field, enter:
        - for a regular bot
      ```txt
      {{strategy.order.action}}/{{strategy.market_position}}
      ```
      - for a [multi-pair bot](https://help.veles.finance/en/platform/settings/multipair/)
      ```txt
      {{ticker}}:{{strategy.order.action}}/{{strategy.market_position}}
      ```

5. In the bot settings, in the **Exit trade** section, add the **TradingView Strategy** filter (the link will be the same).

Examples of messages the strategy sends to the bot:

- Open Long: `BINANCE:BTCUSDT:1h:buy/long`
- Open Short: `BINANCE:BTCUSDT:1h:sell/short`
- Close Long: `BINANCE:BTCUSDT:1h:sell/flat`
- Close Short: `BINANCE:BTCUSDT:1h:buy/flat`

If the strategy uses two algorithms, the bot will only understand signals that align with its direction. That is, a long bot will only respond to the commands "buy/long" and "sell/flat".

## Combining TradingView signals with Veles indicators

TradingView signals can be combined with Veles indicators.
The bot will only open a trade if all conditions are met.

**Example:**

- Current BTC price = $70,000
- TradingView signal: alert at $65,000, price reached → signal triggered
- Bollinger Bands condition also met
- ✅ Bot opens a long deal

## Recommendations

- Use TradingView for flexible conditions (levels, custom indicators), and Veles to filter out false signals.
- Test the accuracy of email alerts before the live launch.
- For multi-pair bots, always specify a message template (`{{exchange}}:{{ticker}}`), otherwise the bot will not detect the trading pair.
