Automating your trading workflow has never been easier. By integrating TradingView indicators or strategies with exchanges like Binance and OKX, you can execute trades in real time based on technical signals—without manual intervention. Whether you're using an indicator that sends separate buy and sell alerts or a full strategy capable of both, this guide walks you through the seamless connection process via a trusted automation platform.
With just one webhook connection, you can receive trading signals and automatically place orders on your preferred exchange. Below, we break down the setup for both indicators and strategies, ensuring clarity and precision at every step.
Understanding Signal Types: Indicator vs Strategy
Before diving into configuration, it's essential to understand how TradingView handles signals differently depending on the source:
- Indicators can only send one type of signal per alert—either Buy or Sell. Therefore, you’ll need to create two separate alerts to cover both entry and exit actions.
- Strategies (like Pine Script strategies) can send both Buy and Sell commands within a single alert, simplifying the automation process.
Regardless of which type you use, the receiving platform—such as Finandy in the original context—requires only one active webhook connection to process both types of signals and route them to Binance or OKX.

Connecting a TradingView Indicator to Binance or OKX
When using an indicator (e.g., RSI, MACD, custom Pine Script indicator), follow these steps to set up automated trading:
Step 1: Set Up the Webhook Connection
- Log in to your trading automation platform.
- Navigate to the Signals or Webhooks section.
- Create a new signal connection.
- Copy the generated Webhook URL and Signal Message Template—you’ll need these in TradingView.
The signal message typically includes dynamic placeholders like{{strategy.order.action}},{{ticker}}, and{{time}}, which auto-populate when the alert triggers.
Step 2: Configure Buy Signal in TradingView
- Open your desired chart (e.g., ETH/USDT).
- Click the Alert button (bell icon).
- Select the indicator currently applied to the chart.
- Define your Buy condition (e.g., “RSI crosses above 30”).
- Name the alert clearly (e.g., “ETHUSDT Buy Signal”).
- In the Message field, paste the signal template from your automation platform.
Now switch to the Notifications tab:
- Paste the Webhook URL into the designated field.
- Ensure delivery is set to Webhook.
- Click Create Alert.
Step 3: Configure Sell Signal in TradingView
Since indicators can't send dual commands, repeat the process for selling:
- Create a new alert.
- Use the same indicator but set the Sell condition (e.g., “RSI crosses below 70”).
- Name it appropriately (e.g., “ETHUSDT Sell Signal”).
- Paste the same Signal Message Template, but verify that it supports sell-side interpretation (usually handled by dynamic variables).
- Use the same Webhook URL in the Notifications tab.
- Save the alert.
✅ With both alerts active, your system will now respond to market movements with automated buy and sell orders on Binance or OKX.
Connecting a TradingView Strategy to Binance or OKX
Pine Script strategies (using strategy.entry() functions) offer more advanced logic and can natively emit both long and short signals—ideal for full automation.
Step 1: Configure Platform Settings
- In your automation dashboard, create a new signal connection.
Set the following options:
- PositionSide: Strategy
- OrderSide: Strategy
- Save the configuration.
- Copy the provided Webhook URL and Signal Message.
These settings ensure the system interprets incoming signals correctly based on strategy output rather than fixed-side triggers.
Step 2: Create Strategy-Based Alert in TradingView
- On your chart, make sure your strategy script is loaded.
- Click the Alert button.
- Choose the strategy from the dropdown menu.
- Define the condition—usually “Strategy buys” or “Strategy sells,” or use “Any time a new bar is formed” if your strategy emits frequent updates.
- Name the alert (e.g., “ETHUSDT Strategy Execution”).
- Paste the Signal Message into the message box.
Go to the Notifications tab:
- Enter the copied Webhook URL.
- Select Webhook as the delivery method.
- Click Create Alert.
🎯 That’s it! One alert handles all trade actions—entries, exits, reversals—based on your strategy logic.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use the same webhook for multiple TradingView strategies?
Yes, but it's recommended to use separate webhooks for different strategies to avoid signal conflicts and improve tracking accuracy.
Do I need to keep TradingView open for alerts to work?
No. Once alerts are created and linked to a webhook, they run on TradingView’s servers—even if you're logged out.
What exchanges are supported for automated trading via webhooks?
Popular platforms like Binance, OKX, and others that integrate with third-party trading bots support webhook-based execution through services that translate signals into orders.

How secure are webhook connections?
Webhooks transmit data over HTTPS, making them secure. However, never share your webhook URL publicly—it acts like a password for your trading account.
Can I test signals before going live?
Absolutely. Most automation platforms offer a paper trading mode or testnet integration where you can simulate trades without risking capital.
Why didn’t my order execute after receiving a signal?
Common causes include:
- Incorrectly formatted message template
- Network latency
- Insufficient balance
- Exchange-level restrictions (e.g., minimum order size)
Always review logs in your automation tool to debug issues quickly.
Pro Tips for Reliable Automation
- Use descriptive names for alerts (e.g., “BTCUSDT RSI Scalper – Buy”) to easily identify them later.
- Double-check placeholder syntax (
{{strategy.order.action}},{{strategy.position_size}}) matches what your automation service expects. - Monitor initial runs closely—even small logic errors in Pine Script can generate false signals.
- Consider setting up email or Telegram confirmations alongside webhooks for better visibility.
