SMA Crossover Strategy

Strategies can not be programmed to automatically supply a payload into the message field, so you will need to manually copy and paste. Strategies offer the use of dynamic variables to tell crosstrade certain information about the command. We can use the strategy order action and quantity in place of BUY or SELL in the action field, and supplying a numerical value for the quantity.

key=Your CrossTrade Secret Key; command=PLACE; account=sim101; instrument=ES 06-25; action={{strategy.order.action}}; qty={{strategy.order.quantity}}; order_type=MARKET; tif=DAY; flatten_first=true; Additionally, you can provide take_profit and stop_loss levels with your strategy alert. They can be supplied as either numerical values, tick, or percentage based. Examples:

take_profit=5%;
stop_loss=-25 ticks;
limit_price=-2.5%;
stop_price=12 ticks;

We are including flatten_first to close any existing position before opening a new one.

SMA Crossover strategy with stop and targets

Building off of the previous two examples, this strategy includes the entire message payload inside the Pine Script which allows you the ability to provide the stop and target levels dynamically. Additionally, because the message payload is inside of the strategy, all that is required inside of the TradingView Alert Message is the dynamic variable for {{strategy.order.alert_message}}

Don't forget to add your secret key inside the strategy code
