The easiest and most convenient option to automate trading view alerts is using one of the available chrome extensions in the market. After all, we just want to pick up the alerts and execute them on the exchange.
Currently there are quite a few of 3rd party applications that pick-up trading view alerts and execute them on the desired exchange. Here are a few names, auto view, profit view and goat alerts. We have personally tested them all. Auto view is the worst out of all, so we will skip that. Profit View has been the best application however, it is a bit pricey at 379$ lifetime and 34.99$ monthly plans.
For those who are serious about automation, lifetime is the obvious choice. Profit view allows you to customize a syntax and have profit view to place take profit and stop loss orders. It has a decent community as well.
Goat alerts is the best option for new starts due to the fact that it is currently free. However, it will have a fee in the future. Also, set up wise, it requires more hustle than Profit View. We will continue this guide using Profit View. You can follow along with Goat Alerts as well. Check profit view out
First, we need to set up Profit View. From the Setup: Unlock PRO page, we need to activate our license. Once license is active, we need to click to “Setup: Permissions” page and click on “Enable” for the exchanges we want to trade on.
Now profit view is operational, we need to set up the alerts. Go ahead and create your alerts on Trading View. Name of your alert has to contain short or sell and long or buy so that profit view can pick up the direction of your trades. If you don’t know how to create trading view alerts, please check our guide.
Once your alert is set on Trading View, go ahead on Profit View and click on “Setup: PV Alerts” section.
Here is an example Alert set up.
This is an example syntax that can be used for profit view. Your Alert name up top needs to match with your alert on trading view. When Trading View fires an alert, profit view will pick that up and execute it on the exchange for you.
