What are Custom TradingView Alerts?

Custom TradingView Alerts allow TradingView to send webhook messages to SageMaster Forex. When an alert fires, SageMaster reads the JSON payload and based on your configuration, may:

  • Submit a user-directed order instruction through your connected broker account, or

  • Apply configured actions to an existing position, such as partial close or breakeven, through your connected broker account.

This supports webhook-based strategy actions from TradingView, based on your selected settings.

Prerequisites

  • Active SageMaster account

  • Ability to create TradingView alerts

  • Basic understanding of trading concepts and related risks (lots, risk %, SL/TP)

Step 1: Create a Strategy

  1. Log in to SageMaster

  2. Go to Strategies โ†’ Create a Strategy

  3. Under Trigger Condition, select Custom TradingView Alert (or Custom TradingView Alert V2)

  4. Complete the remaining fields according to your strategy configuration and preferences.

  5. This enables webhook-based instructions from TradingView based on your configuration.

Step 2: Connect TradingView (Webhook Setup)

  1. Open TradingView

  2. Create a new alert (price, indicator, or strategy)

  3. Enable Webhook URL in alert actions

  1. Copy the webhook URL from SageMaster (Alerts tab)

  2. Paste it into TradingViewโ€™s Webhook URL field

Step 3: Add the Webhook Message (JSON)

In TradingView, paste a JSON payload into the Webhook Message field.

The structure depends on whether you are:

  • Managing static take profit and stop loss values in the strategy (V1), or

  • Using a configurable strategy setup with variable take-profit and stop-loss values. (V2)

V1 vs V2 โ€“ Which Should I Use?

Use V1 if your strategy:

  • Uses "Fixed Stop Loss and Take Profit" or "Fixed Stop Loss with TP ratio" for SL/TP type

  • Uses "Risk percentage" or "Fixed lot" for money management

Use V2 if you:

  • Want TradingView alerts to provide entry instructions with available SL/TP types

  • Need access to all position-sizing configuration options.

Common Tips

  • Test alerts on demo accounts first

  • Ensure symbol names match exactly

  • Always include {{time}} in alerts for accurate timestamps

  • Confirm alerts fire correctly in TradingView
