How do I send TradingView alerts to cTrader?

What this means in practice

Create the intended TradingView alert, enable webhook delivery, send an explicit command, and map it to the correct cTrader account, symbol and position action. This page is specifically about “How do I send TradingView alerts to cTrader?”, so each scenario below is explained by its own mechanism instead of sharing one generic diagnosis.

Real-world scenarios

Scenario A — BUY

Inspect the mechanism named by “Scenario A — BUY” directly. Record its input, the state immediately before it and the first observable output that differs from the intended result. For Scenario A — BUY on question 4, use that evidence specifically to answer “How do I send TradingView alerts to cTrader?”; keep it separate from the evidence for the other scenarios on this page.

Scenario B — SELL

Inspect the mechanism named by “Scenario B — SELL” directly. Record its input, the state immediately before it and the first observable output that differs from the intended result. For Scenario B — SELL on question 4, use that evidence specifically to answer “How do I send TradingView alerts to cTrader?”; keep it separate from the evidence for the other scenarios on this page.

Scenario C — CLOSE_LONG

Inspect the mechanism named by “Scenario C — CLOSE_LONG” directly. Record its input, the state immediately before it and the first observable output that differs from the intended result. For Scenario C — CLOSE_LONG on question 4, use that evidence specifically to answer “How do I send TradingView alerts to cTrader?”; keep it separate from the evidence for the other scenarios on this page.

Scenario D — Strategy order fill

An order-fill alert is produced when TradingView's strategy emulator records a fill, not necessarily when the original condition first becomes true. Compare strategy fill time, alert time and payload, and verify settings such as process_orders_on_close and calc_on_order_fills. For Scenario D — Strategy order fill on question 4, use that evidence specifically to answer “How do I send TradingView alerts to cTrader?”; keep it separate from the evidence for the other scenarios on this page.

What to check

• active server-side TradingView alert instance

• exact message emitted by the active alert

Practical rule

For “How do I send TradingView alerts to cTrader?”, change only the first layer whose evidence no longer matches the intended action. Preserve signal identity, timestamps and final cTrader state, and reproduce execution-affecting changes on demo before live use.
