Multiple take profit levels automation looks like a settings problem. You pick three targets, split the contracts, paste one JSON into TradingView and you’re done. Then your strategy’s own exit fires on a Tuesday afternoon, and the account that should be flat is short five contracts. Nothing malfunctioned: the alert did exactly what its flags
You’ve got two indicators you trust. One spots the setup, the other confirms it, and you only want an order when both agree. Then you try to combine indicators in TradingView and hit the real snag. They’re separate scripts. One of them might be an invite-only tool whose code you’ll never see. Until October 2025,
{{strategy.market_position}} and {{strategy.market_position_size}} sit side by side among TradingView’s 11 strategy placeholders, and they look like two answers to the same question. They aren’t. The first sends a word: long, short or flat. The second sends a number, the absolute size of the position. Both describe the strategy after the order has filled, which is
Neither one does. That’s the honest answer, and most comparisons bury it under a feature table. TrendSpider’s Strategy Bots don’t place orders. They fire a webhook at SignalStack, which places the order. TradingView’s alerts don’t place orders either. They fire a webhook at whatever bridge you’ve pointed them at. So the platform question is settled
TradingView alert placeholders are the double-curly-brace tokens, such as {{close}}, that TradingView replaces with live values the moment an alert fires. Every strategy alert starts life as a template full of them. When an order fills, TradingView swaps each token for its value and posts the result to your webhook. Get one token wrong and
Your alert log shows a green checkmark. Your chart shows the entry. Your account shows nothing. That gap is the most common support ticket in retail trading automation, and almost nobody diagnoses it correctly the first time. Traders assume the alert broke. But in our queue, the alert is the culprit less than a third
CME futures hit a record 28.1 million contracts in average daily volume in 2025, up 6% year over year. More volume means more noise. And more noise means your indicator choice matters more than ever if you trade ES, NQ, CL, or GC. Picking the best TradingView indicators for futures day trading gets harder once
The best TradingView indicators span free and premium tiers: the built-in Public Library for free community scripts, PickMyTrade’s own free open-source AI and order-flow scripts, LuxAlgo for premium smart-money and trend tools, Zeiierman for advanced order-flow analysis, BigBeluga for algorithmic momentum signals, and Flux Charts for a multi-market premium suite.

Key Takeaways Webhook alerts require at least the Essential plan ($12.95/mo billed annually). TradingView’s free Basic plan cannot send webhook automation at all. Essential caps you at 20 active alerts; Plus jumps to 100 and Premium to 400, which matters once you’re running several strategies at once. A typical automated setup, TradingView Essential plus a
If the Pine Editor just threw red text at you, you’re not alone. In my experience debugging strategies for traders moving toward automation, two errors show up more than any other: strategy.exit parameter conflicts and trail_offset misuse. Both stem from Pine Script’s strict pairing rules, not from bad trading logic. This Pine Script error reference
