Connect TradingView alerts to RelayDesk

Prerequisites

TradingView Essential, Plus, Premium, or Ultimate account (webhooks require paid plan)
A RelayDesk Signal created in Signal Library
Your Signal webhook URL copied

Creating a Webhook Alert

Step-by-step process:

Open your TradingView chart
Click the Alert button (clock icon) or press Alt+A
Set your condition (e.g., "Crossing" indicator crosses signal line)
Under "Notifications", enable "Webhook URL"
Paste your RelayDesk Signal webhook URL
Configure the message body (see below)
Name your alert and click "Create"

Webhook Message Format

RelayDesk expects JSON format in the alert message:

{
  "action": "entry",
  "side": "long"
}

Supported values:

action: "entry" or "exit"
side: "long" or "short"

Using TradingView Variables

You can include TradingView placeholders in your webhook:

{
  "action": "entry",
  "side": "long",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "price": {{close}},
  "time": "{{timenow}}"
}

Note

The symbol, price, and time fields are optional. RelayDesk uses the symbol configured in your bot.

Testing Your Webhook

Trigger a test alert from TradingView
Check RelayDesk → Dashboard → Activity Log
Verify the signal was received
Confirm your bot executed (if active)
Check Alpaca to verify the order was placed

Common Issues

If alerts aren't working: 1) Verify webhook URL is correct, 2) Check JSON format is valid, 3) Ensure bot is active, 4) Confirm Alpaca connection is working

Advanced: Multiple Bots, One Alert

With the Signal Library system, one TradingView alert can trigger multiple bots:

Create one Signal in RelayDesk
Connect multiple bots to that Signal
Use the same webhook URL in TradingView
All connected bots will execute when alert fires

Pro Tip

This is perfect for running the same strategy on multiple symbols or timeframes.
