Getting started

Route your first TradingView alert to a real broker in under five minutes.

Overview

TransisTrade sits between your signal source and your broker. You paste a webhook URL into TradingView, and every alert becomes a validated, risk-checked order on the broker side — typically in under 200 milliseconds.

This walkthrough uses TradingView as the signal source and Interactive Brokers as the destination. The flow is identical for the other supported platforms.

Prerequisites

A funded broker account (live or paper).
A TradingView plan that supports webhook alerts (Pro+).
Your TransisTrade workspace — sign in at app.transistrade.com.

1. Create a connection

Head to Connections and click New connection. Pick your broker, authorize via OAuth or API keys, and give the connection a name. TransisTrade will verify the handshake and mark the connection as Live.

You can connect as many accounts as your plan allows — Starter supports 1, Pro supports 25, Scale is unlimited.

2. Get your webhook URL

Open Connections and look for the TradingView webhook URL card. Click Generate URL (or Rotate token) — we mint a fresh URL with a fresh token and reveal it exactly once. Copy it right away.

We intentionally don't print the URL inside these docs: it carries a bearer token that authenticates alerts against your account, so it must never live in a public page, screenshot, or support thread. After you close the reveal banner, only the prefix is displayed and the token-tail is blurred.

3. Wire up TradingView

Open your TradingView alert. In the Webhook URL field paste the URL above, and in the alert message field paste a TransisTrade payload. You can use TradingView placeholders to keep it dynamic:

json

{
  "secret": "tt_sk_live_•••",
  "account": "main",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "side": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
  "type": "market",
  "qty": {{strategy.position_size}}
}

The secretfield is critical — if it doesn't match your signed key, TransisTrade will drop the alert. See Signal authentication.

4. Send a test alert

Trigger the alert from TradingView. Open Bridge → Logs and you should see your signal land within seconds, followed by a Filled status from your broker.

That’s it.

Your alert traveled TradingView → TransisTrade → broker with full validation, logging, and analytics. No VPS, no manual execution.

Next steps

Map TradingView tickersto your broker's symbol format.
Harden your webhook with rotatable secrets.
Add task automations like trading-hour limits and emergency close-all rules.
