How to send TradingView alerts to Topstep
Point a TradingView alert's webhook at PropTradeBot, and each alert becomes orders on your Topstep accounts. Every trade gets a stop, your trims and a runner, and it's flat by your end-of-day time. Your strategy decides when; PropTradeBot does the clicking.
Why bother
If your strategy lives in TradingView, the alert already knows when to get in. The weak link is you: seeing it,
switching windows and placing the order, on every account, before the price moves. A webhook removes that step.
How it works
- Get your webhook. On proptradebot.com, open Dashboard → TradingView Strategy → Generate Webhook.
It shows your Webhook URL, your passphrase and the alert message, each with a Copy button.
- Send a test first. Make a simple alert with the test message. It proves TradingView reaches us with the
right URL and passphrase, and it is never sent to the app, so it can't place an order. Ask the dashboard's Setup
Assistant whether it arrived.
- Set up the real alert on your strategy with the Webhook URL and the alert message. Delete the test alert.
- Keep the app open on your Mac while you trade.
Using an indicator instead of a strategy? The app's Alerts tab has one message each for buy, sell and exit.
Alerts travel TradingView → proptradebot.com → your Mac. An alert the app hasn't collected within 60 seconds is
dropped, not traded late.
What it won't do
- Trade a message it can't read. It's refused, and the reason shows in the app.
- Stack trades. A second entry while a trade is open is refused; send an exit first.
- Trade late. Stale alerts are dropped.
What you need
- A TradingView plan with webhook alerts, and two-factor authentication turned on. TradingView only sends
webhooks from accounts with 2FA.
- A chart of the contract you trade: MES1!, ES1!, MNQ1! or NQ1!.
- A Mac that stays awake during your session, and a Topstep account with API access. Topstep bills that
separately; see Topstep's API access page.
Keep your webhook private. The URL and passphrase together let anyone queue trades on your account. Don't
post them or show them on screen. And check Topstep's automation rules
before you go live; following them is your responsibility.
