Logging a TradingView strategy with alerts

Capture your Pine strategy's entries and exits as journaled trades.

What this does

If you run a Pine v5 strategy on TradingView, TradeDNA can capture each entry and exit alert as a journaled trade. This logs your strategy's signals, not your real broker fills, so it is a great way to track a system you are testing. Pair it with broker auto-sync for full coverage of your live account.


You will need a TradingView plan that supports webhook alerts.


1. Open the TradingView strategy tab

Go to Settings, then Connections, and open the TradingView strategy tab. Your personal webhook URL is shown here. Treat this URL like a password, anyone with it can write trades into your journal.

2. Create the alert in TradingView

In TradingView, open your strategy, click the Alert (clock icon), and choose Create Alert. It must be a Pine strategy, not a study, for the trade details to come through.


3. Point the alert at TradeDNA

  • Under Notifications, turn on Webhook URL and paste the URL from the TradingView strategy tab.

  • In the alert Message field, paste the JSON template shown on that same tab.

  • Save the alert.

Good to know

  • Some strategy details only fill in when your strategy actually closes a position.

  • If you have more than one broker account connected, the template includes a field that tells us which account these strategy trades belong to.

  • Need to rotate the URL? Use Reset key on the TradingView strategy tab. Existing alerts stop working until you paste the new URL into them.
