How should account routing work in a TradingView webhook?

What this means in practice

Do not trust a free-form account number from an unauthenticated webhook. Map a connector/token or authenticated routing identifier to an authorized server-side account configuration. This page is specifically about “How should account routing work in a TradingView webhook?”, so each scenario below is explained by its own mechanism instead of sharing one generic diagnosis.

Real-world scenarios

Scenario A — Connector ID maps to account

Inspect the mechanism named by “Scenario A — Connector ID maps to account” directly. Record its input, the state immediately before it and the first observable output that differs from the intended result. For Scenario A — Connector ID maps to account on question 69, use that evidence specifically to answer “How should account routing work in a TradingView webhook?”; keep it separate from the evidence for the other scenarios on this page.

Scenario B — User-supplied account field

Inspect the mechanism named by “Scenario B — User-supplied account field” directly. Record its input, the state immediately before it and the first observable output that differs from the intended result. For Scenario B — User-supplied account field on question 69, use that evidence specifically to answer “How should account routing work in a TradingView webhook?”; keep it separate from the evidence for the other scenarios on this page.

Scenario C — Revoked account mapping

Inspect the mechanism named by “Scenario C — Revoked account mapping” directly. Record its input, the state immediately before it and the first observable output that differs from the intended result. For Scenario C — Revoked account mapping on question 69, use that evidence specifically to answer “How should account routing work in a TradingView webhook?”; keep it separate from the evidence for the other scenarios on this page.

What to check

• TradingView alert log and exact send time
• HTTP status and receiver timestamp
• validated payload plus signal ID
• cTrader result only after transport is proven

Practical rule

For “How should account routing work in a TradingView webhook?”, 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.
