To set up an alert, you can utilize various trigger conditions and decide whether the alert should fire once or repeatedly until you disable it. When sending alerts to CrossTrade its important to remember that you are only including the specific instructions needed to communicate with NinjaTrader. The notifications for these alerts can be received via pop-ups, emails, and even push notifications if you have the TradingView mobile app installed.
Inside your Supercharts, click to open an Alert window from the top or right navigation clock button.
To set up an alert, you can utilize various trigger conditions and decide whether the alert should fire once or repeatedly until you disable it. You can customize the Expiration date of the alert and provide a name to keep your alerts organized.
For example, if your indicator has specific buy and sell conditions, you will see those in the drop down like this:
In the message field you will supply the payload information you want to send to CrossTrade for relay to NinjaTrader. You can customize this however you want based on the methods NinjaTrader will accept.
Remove any default text that may be in that message window when you first load your Indicator or Strategy. You only want to provide the CrossTrade payload. For example: Bot V3 (, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , hlc3, 5, 2, 2.8, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, NORMAL, 0.75, 0.75, 25, 3, 2, NORMAL, 3, 3, 4, 4, 9, 5, 1, 1.2, 59, 43, 1.55, 23, 2.4, 6.2, CLASSIC, 9, 19, 0.7, 0.25, 0.6, 5, 19, MAC-Z, 6, 67, 25, 17, 2, 0.6, 61, 80, 20, 80, 20, 50, 14, 30, 15, 30, 0.75, 10,000, Small): order {{strategy.order.action}} @ {{strategy.order.contracts}} filled on {{ticker}}. New strategy position is {{strategy.position_size}} All of that needs to be removed.
In this example, we are using a basic PLACE command for a Buy order.
key=your-secret-key;
command=PLACE;
account=sim101;
instrument=ES 06-25;
action=BUY;
qty=1;
order_type=MARKET;
tif=DAY;
flatten_first=true;
In this example, we are using the strategy variables to supply the Action and the Qty to your alert dynamically, based on the settings of the strategy.
key=your-secret-key;
command=PLACE;
account=sim101;
instrument=ES 06-25;
action={{strategy.order.action}};
qty={{strategy.order.contracts}};
order_type=MARKET;
tif=DAY;
Paste into the Message window like this:
From the Notifications tab of the alert window, you will need to provide your specific CrossTrade webhook URL. The URL can be found on your My Account page or on the CrossTrade web Dashboard below the Command Tester.
Managing alerts is straightforward; you can edit, clone, or delete them from the alert manager, and even adjust alert conditions directly on the chart for easy visualization. Alerts that have been triggered are logged, and you can access and review this log to track past market events and alert responses. On the right hand side of the chart, click the clock icon.
Once you start sending alerts from TradingView to CrossTrade, you can review your recent alert history on the CrossTrade Alert History page in your account.
