Mastering Automated Forex Trading on TradingView with Tickerly

Are you interested in automating your forex trading on TradingView for better efficiency and potentially higher returns? Look no further! In this blog post, we will show you how to take advantage of Tickerly, a powerful trading automation platform, to streamline your forex trading experience on TradingView. We will focus on the unique aspects of automated forex trading and provide you with the necessary steps to set up alerts and automate order execution using Tickerly.

What Makes Automated Forex Trading Unique

1. 24/5 Market: Unlike stock markets, the forex market operates 24 hours a day, five days a week. Automated trading systems can operate around the clock, ensuring you never miss out on potential opportunities, even when you’re asleep or away from your trading terminal.
2. High Liquidity: The forex market is known for its high liquidity, which can lead to tighter spreads and lower transaction costs. Automated trading allows you to take advantage of these conditions by executing orders quickly and efficiently.
3. Lower Barrier to Entry: Forex trading typically requires a smaller initial investment compared to other financial markets. Automated trading can help new traders overcome the learning curve by executing strategies consistently, without being influenced by emotions.
4. Flexibility: Automated forex trading allows you to trade multiple currency pairs simultaneously, enabling you to diversify your portfolio and manage risk more effectively.

Setting Up Automated Forex Trading on TradingView Using Tickerly

Step 1: Copy the Standard Alert Message from Tickerly
Log in to your Tickery account and navigate to the “my exchanges” section. Here, you’ll find the standard alert message for the forex exchange account you want to use with your TradingView strategy. Simply select the text, right-click, and click “Copy.”

Step 2: Add Alerts on TradingView
Next, head over to TradingView and select the forex trading strategy you want to automate. Click the three little dots on the right side of the strategy and select “Add alerts on….”

Step 3: Configure Alert Settings
In the “Add Alert” popup, under “Condition,” choose “Order fills only.” In the “Message” field, paste the alert message you copied earlier from your Tickerly “my exchanges” list. You should see a green check-mark, indicating that the alert message is structurally correct.

Step 4: Set Up Webhook URL
Navigate to the “Notifications” tab and tick the “Webhook URL” option. Insert the IP address of the Tickerly alert processing server, which can be found on the “my exchanges” page. Copy and paste the IP address directly into the field. From now on, TradingView will suggest this webhook recipient, so you won’t need to set it again for future alerts.

Step 5: Enable Email Notifications
As a final step, enable the “Send email” option to receive a copy of the alerts in your inbox. This will allow you to verify that your forex trading strategy is sending the expected alerts to Tickerly. Click “Save” to activate the alert.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully set up Tickerly to automate order execution for your forex trading strategy on TradingView. Tickerly will now consistently and automatically execute orders based on the alerts generated by your strategy, ensuring you make the most of the unique characteristics of the forex market.
