TradingView webhook

Stream signals from TradingView alerts into your journal in real time.

TradingView alerts can stream straight into Tradelyst — one alert per fired signal. Useful for systematic setups: you get an automatic skeleton trade per alert, ready to complete with exit + notes.

Get your webhook URL

Open Settings → Webhook and click Generate. You get a URL of the form:

https://tradelyst.ai/api/import/tradingview/<your-secret>

Treat the secret like a password — anyone with the URL can post into your journal. Rotate it from the same screen if you suspect it leaked.

TradingView alert config

  • On TradingView, open the alert dialog → Notifications → enable Webhook URL. Paste the URL from Tradelyst.
  • Message body — JSON. The endpoint expects: {"symbol":"NQM4","side":"LONG","entryPrice":18500,"stopPrice":18480}
  • You can include TradingView placeholders like {{ticker}}, {{close}}, and {{time}} inside the JSON.

What lands in your journal

Each alert creates a trade with source = tradingview-webhook. The trade starts in a pending state until you fill in the exit (or the alert posts a follow-up message with the exit). The dashboard counts settled trades only, so pending alerts don't pollute analytics.

Webhooks are per-user and per-secret. Use a separate secret for each strategy so you can disable one without disabling all of them.
