TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx

What a TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx does.

A TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx turns your TradingView alerts into structured execution instructions. You create the automation once, assign the correct portfolio, then use the alert URL and snippet from Proteryx inside TradingView.

Create inside the app

Build the TradingView Auto Trader directly from the Automations menu in the Proteryx app.

Copy the alert URL

Use the dedicated Proteryx TradingView alert endpoint shown after you finish setup.

Use your snippet

Paste the Proteryx snippet into TradingView so the automation can receive your alert values.

Important: Always test one small workflow first. After the route behaves correctly, you can expand to more portfolios or additional automations.

Before you create a TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx.

Before you begin, confirm that your trading environment is ready. This reduces setup errors and makes your first test easier to verify.

Your broker workflow or trading portfolio is already available in Proteryx.
You know whether you want a pre-built Auto Trader or a custom Auto Trader.
You know whether your TradingView logic comes from a strategy or an indicator.
You know the contract, action, quantity, and order protection you want to test first.
You are ready to copy the Proteryx TradingView alert URL and snippet into TradingView.

TradingView alert URL

  "strategy_uuid": "example-030b-472b-96b0-3ced09a57229",
  "time_now": "{{timenow}}",
  "close": "{{close}}",
  "exchange": "{{exchange}}"
}

Choose the correct Auto Trader type in Proteryx.

During setup, Proteryx asks whether you want to create a strategy-based or indicator-based TradingView Auto Trader. Choose the option that matches how your TradingView alerts are generated.

Strategy

Use a strategy Auto Trader when your TradingView strategy already determines the trading decision and should trigger execution through Proteryx.

Indicator

Use an indicator Auto Trader when you want to define more trade parameters inside Proteryx, including ticker, quantity, side, type, TP, and SL.

Configure your TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx.

After you choose the type, configure the Auto Trader settings. The main goal is to define the trade route and risk behavior before the Auto Trader goes live.

Name

Use a clear name so you can identify the automation later by broker, symbol, or purpose.

Symbol

Set the futures contract or market symbol the automation should trade.

Quantity

Start small for the first test, especially when routing live orders.

Action

Confirm whether the automation should Buy, Sell, or follow another supported instruction.

Type

Use the order type that fits your workflow. Market is the simplest first test.

Time in force

Check that the value matches your broker rules and session plan.

Take Profit

Enable profit target logic when your automation should send bracket protection.

Stop Loss

Enable risk protection and verify the value carefully before testing.

Choose the trading portfolio for your TradingView Auto Trader.

After the configuration step, Proteryx asks you to choose the portfolio linked to the automation. This controls where the TradingView Auto Trader routes the signal.

Open the portfolio selector.Choose the Trading Portfolio field during the Choose portfolios step.
Select the correct portfolio.Pick the portfolio that should receive the TradingView automation route.
Click Add.Add the portfolio so it becomes part of the Auto Trader configuration.
Review the route.Confirm that the chosen portfolio is correct before continuing.

Copy the TradingView alert URL and snippet from Proteryx.

After the TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx is created, Proteryx shows the alert URL and the JSON snippet you should use in TradingView.

https://api.proteryx.com/tradingview/auto-traders/alert

{
  "strategy_uuid": "example-030b-472b-96b0-3ced09a57229",
  "time_now": "{{timenow}}",
  "close": "{{close}}",
  "exchange": "{{exchange}}"
}

Important: Use the snippet generated by your own Auto Trader in the app. Each automation should use its own strategy UUID.

Pre-built Auto Traders and Custom Auto Traders in Proteryx.

Proteryx supports both pre-built and custom approaches. That gives traders a faster way to start while also allowing flexible TradingView automation.

Best practices for a TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx.

Once the Auto Trader is ready, a careful test workflow will help you avoid execution mistakes.

Use one Auto Trader and one portfolio for the first test.
Double-check the symbol, quantity, side, and order protection before you activate the alert.
Keep the TradingView alert URL exactly as shown by Proteryx.
Use the correct strategy UUID for the Auto Trader you created.
Start with small size and review the broker result before scaling up.
Do not assume a copied snippet from another automation is interchangeable.

TradingView Auto Trader in Proteryx troubleshooting.

If the automation does not behave as expected, review the setup step by step. Usually the issue is in the configuration, portfolio routing, alert URL, or TradingView message.

The Auto Trader does not trigger

Check the TradingView alert condition, alert status, and whether the webhook URL was pasted exactly as shown in Proteryx.

The route looks wrong

Review the portfolio chosen during the Choose portfolios step and make sure the correct trading portfolio was added.

The order values are wrong

Recheck symbol, quantity, action, type, TP, SL, and Clear behavior.

The snippet fails in TradingView

Confirm the JSON structure is valid, the UUID belongs to the correct automation, and the variables like {{timenow}} were not altered.

Still stuck? Contact Proteryx support with the automation name, symbol, chosen portfolio, test time, and the alert payload you used. Do not expose private credentials.
