1. Brief Overview

Setting Up Trigger Conditions for Strategies

Trigger conditions determine when your strategy identifies configured entry and exit actions. This guide shows you how to choose between an Indicator Provider or a Custom TradingView Alert, how to name and describe your strategy, and how to handle cancelled trade ideas in real time. Following these steps helps your strategy operate according to your selected configuration.

2. Steps / Instructions / Use-Cases

A. Choosing a Trigger Condition Type

1. Indicator Provider

Use this option when you want your strategy to receive and respond to indicators based on your selected settings from a supported indicator provider.

When selected, the strategy will:

• Listen for indicators (long or short)

• Apply your configured order instructions through your connected account settings (order type, size, SL/TP, etc.)

• React to provider changes, including cancelled indicators

Use-case example:

You’re subscribed to a provider that publishes algorithmic entries and exits. You want every indicator automatically routed without writing your own TradingView logic.

2. Custom TradingView Alert

Choose this when you build your own logic inside TradingView and send alerts directly from your scripts.

This option lets you:

• Use Pine Script or indicator alerts

• Define your own entry/exit conditions

• Customize your alert logic

Use-case example:

You have a custom Pine Script that generates a long alert when RSI < 30 and exits when price hits a moving average. You send alerts to your strategy for full greater control over your alert logic.

B. Naming & Describing Your Strategy

1. Enter a strategy name

   • Make it clear and memorable

   • Helps you distinguish between multiple strategies

2. Add an optional description

   • Useful for testing multiple variations

   • Helps you remember the logic, timeframe, or provider settings

Use-case example:

“RSI Reversal – Long Only – 15m”

Description: “Custom TV alert logic with breakeven protection enabled.”

C. Handling Cancelled Indicators

Some Indicator Providers may revoke an indicator while your order is still open. You can choose how your strategy reacts:

1. Close Orders Instantly

The strategy is configured to submit/apply a close action when the provider signals that the indicator is no longer valid.

Suitable for:

Strategies where strict indicator alignment is important.

2. Conditional Closure Based on Profit Pips

If the trade has already hit a profit threshold you define, the system moves SL to breakeven ( accounting for the threshold) instead of closing immediately.

Suitable for:

Strategies that aim to give trades more room to evolve while still helping manage risk according to your settings.

Example:

Your trade is currently at +15 pips, and you've set the profit threshold to +10 pips.

Action: The Strategy is configured to move the stop loss to breakeven(open price +/- threshold depends on the order direction), helping reduce downside exposure according to your settings.

3. FAQ

Q: Do I need coding skills to use Indicator Providers?

No. Providers send indicators; you only configure how to route them.

Q: Can I mix Provider indicators with my own TradingView alerts?

Not in the same strategy. You choose one trigger type per strategy.

Q: What if my TradingView alert fires multiple times?

Your strategy processes alerts based on the alert message and your configuration—so ensure your Pine logic is well-defined.

Q: Will breakeven feature always trigger?

Only if the trade reaches the profit threshold you set before the provider cancels.

4. Troubleshooting

Issue: Strategy isn’t triggering trades

• Check if the selected provider is active

• Ensure your TradingView alerts are set to “Webhook URL”

• Verify the alert message format matches your platform’s requirements

• Ask a DeepSage SFX Agent, HelpCenter Bot, or contact the support via LiveChat

Issue: Trades close unexpectedly

• Confirm whether the provider issued a close or cancel indicator

• Review your “cancel reaction” settings (immediate close vs breakeven)

Issue: Alerts appear delayed

• Check your TradingView script for repainting

• Ensure alert settings use “Once per bar close” to avoid noise

Issue: Breakeven didn’t activate

• Confirm that your trade actually hit the profit threshold

• Make sure the breakeven option is enabled in your strategy settings

5. Summary
