Actions — what to do
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| open | Places a new order | + side, a size, optional stop/target | "action":"open" |
| closelong | Closes all longs on the symbol | + symbol — no ticket | "action":"closelong","symbol":"EURUSD" |
| closeshort | Closes all shorts on the symbol | + symbol | "action":"closeshort","symbol":"EURUSD" |
| closeall | Closes everything on the symbol (both sides) | + symbol | "action":"closeall","symbol":"EURUSD" |
| close | Closes everything open on the symbol, long and short (leaves pendings) — the same as closelongshort | "action":"close","symbol":"{{ticker}}" | |
| closelongshort | Closes both directions' positions (leaves pendings) | + symbol | "action":"closelongshort","symbol":"EURUSD" |
| closelongpct / closeshortpct | Partial close — % of each position | + symbol + close_pct (1-100) | "action":"closelongpct","symbol":"EURUSD","close_pct":50 |
| closelongvol / closeshortvol | Partial close — a lot amount off the direction | + symbol + close_lots | "action":"closelongvol","symbol":"EURUSD","close_lots":0.20 |
| cancellong | Cancels all pending buy orders on the symbol | + symbol | "action":"cancellong","symbol":"EURUSD" |
| cancelshort | Cancels all pending sell orders on the symbol | + symbol | "action":"cancelshort","symbol":"EURUSD" |
| modifylong | Sets SL/TP on all open longs on the symbol | + symbol + a stop/target (any unit) | "action":"modifylong","symbol":"EURUSD","sl_price":1.08 |
| modifyshort | Sets SL/TP on all open shorts on the symbol | + symbol + a stop/target | "action":"modifyshort","symbol":"EURUSD","tp_pips":30 |
| newsltpbuystop · newsltpbuylimit · newsltpsellstop · newsltpselllimit | Sets SL/TP on pending orders of that type | + symbol + a stop/target | "action":"newsltpbuylimit","symbol":"EURUSD","sl_pips":20 |
| alert | Logs the message, never trades | any text / JSON | "action":"alert" |
Reverse — close & open in one message
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| closelongopenshort | Close longs, then open a short | + symbol + a size (like an open) | "action":"closelongopenshort","symbol":"EURUSD","vol_lots":0.10 |
| closeshortopenlong | Close shorts, then open a long | + symbol + a size | "action":"closeshortopenlong","symbol":"EURUSD","vol_pct_eq_loss":1,"sl_pips":20 |
| closelongopenlong · closeshortopenshort | Re-enter the same side (close then re-open) | + symbol + a size | "action":"closelongopenlong","symbol":"EURUSD","vol_lots":0.10 |
| closelongshortopenlong · closelongshortopenshort | Flatten both sides, then open one | + symbol + a size | "action":"closelongshortopenlong","symbol":"EURUSD","vol_lots":0.10 |
Shorthands also work: CL+OS, CS+OL, CL+OL, CS+OS, CLS+OL, CLS+OS. The open is always a market order; the direction is set by the command name (no side needed).
EA control
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| eaoff | Halts new trades (flips Auto-execution OFF) | no symbol needed | "action":"eaoff" |
| eaon | Resumes trading (flips Auto-execution ON) | no symbol | "action":"eaon" |
| closealleaoff | Panic — closes ALL account positions, then halts | no symbol | "action":"closealleaoff" |
Sizing — pick ONE (in an open)
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| vol_lots | Fixed lot size | any open | "vol_lots":0.10 |
| vol_dollar | Risk a fixed $ amount | needs a stop; EA computes the lots | "vol_dollar":50 |
| vol_pct_eq_loss | Risk % of account equity | needs a stop | "vol_pct_eq_loss":1 |
| vol_pct_bal_loss | Risk % of account balance | needs a stop | "vol_pct_bal_loss":1 |
| vol_pct_bal_margin | Size so margin = % of balance | no stop needed | "vol_pct_bal_margin":5 |
Stop & target — any unit (in an open)
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| sl_pips / sl_price / sl_pct | Stop loss — in pips, exact price, or % | pick one unit | "sl_pips":20 |
| tp_pips / tp_price / tp_pct | Take profit — pips, price, or % | pick one unit | "tp_pips":60 |
Manage — set at entry, the EA runs it (no follow-up alert)
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| betrigger + beoffset | Move stop to breakeven after X pips profit | pips | "betrigger":10,"beoffset":1 |
| trailtrig + traildist + trailstep | Trail the stop behind price (fixed pips) | pips | "trailtrig":15,"traildist":10,"trailstep":3 |
| atrtimeframe + atrperiod + atrmultiplier + atrtrigger | Trail the stop by ATR (distance = ATR × mult) | tf string + numbers; trigger in pips (0 = at once) | "atrtimeframe":"60","atrperiod":14,"atrmultiplier":2 |
Entry & filters (in an open)
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| entry_pips / entry_pct | Pending entry as an offset from market | instead of price; limit below / stop above | "orderType":"limit","entry_pips":10 |
| spread | Skip the open if spread is wider than this | pips | "spread":2 |
Message fields
| Syntax | What it does | How to use | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| symbol | The instrument | use {{ticker}} — TradingView fills it | "symbol":"{{ticker}}" |
| side | Direction for an open | buy or sell | "side":"buy" |
| orderType | Entry type | market / limit / stop | "orderType":"limit" |
| price | Entry price | limit / stop orders only | "price":1.0820 |
| id | De-dupe key | drops a repeat of the same alert — no time limit | "id":"tv-{{ticker}}-{{time}}" |
| ref | Free label (shows in the Journal) | optional | "ref":"london-fvg" |
Put it together — copy-paste (pure JSON)
Market buy, fixed 0.10 lots, 20-pip stop & 60-pip target:
{"action":"open","symbol":"{{ticker}}","side":"buy","vol_lots":0.10,"sl_pips":20,"tp_pips":60,"id":"tv-{{ticker}}-{{time}}"}
Risk 1% of equity (EA sizes the lots) with breakeven + trailing:
{"action":"open","symbol":"{{ticker}}","side":"buy","vol_pct_eq_loss":1,"sl_pips":20,"betrigger":10,"beoffset":1,"trailtrig":15,"traildist":10,"trailstep":3,"id":"tv-{{ticker}}-{{time}}"}
Limit order at a set price:
{"action":"open","symbol":"{{ticker}}","side":"buy","orderType":"limit","price":1.0820,"vol_lots":0.10,"sl_pips":25}
Exit — closes all longs on the symbol (no ticket; use
closeshort / closeall too):{"action":"closelong","symbol":"{{ticker}}"}
Move the stop to breakeven on every long (targets by symbol+direction, all positions):
{"action":"modifylong","symbol":"{{ticker}}","sl_price":{{close}}}
Cancel all resting buy orders on the symbol:
{"action":"cancellong","symbol":"{{ticker}}"}
Scale out — close half of the longs:
{"action":"closelongpct","symbol":"{{ticker}}","close_pct":50}
Reverse — close longs and open a short in one message:
{"action":"closelongopenshort","symbol":"{{ticker}}","vol_pct_eq_loss":1,"sl_pips":20}
Panic — flatten everything on the account and stop trading:
{"action":"closealleaoff"}
From a TradingView strategy (auto buy/sell + exits)
Attach a message to each entry/exit line in your Pine strategy, then set the alert's Message to just {{strategy.order.alert_message}} — each order sends its own JSON:
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long,
alert_message='{"action":"open","symbol":"{{ticker}}","side":"buy","vol_pct_eq_loss":1,"sl_pips":20}')
strategy.close("Long",
alert_message='{"action":"closelong","symbol":"{{ticker}}"}')
Rules & safety
• Opens execute only while Auto-execution is ON (below); closes/exits always run.
• Real accounts: Auto Signals trade a real account when
•
• Exchange prefixes are stripped (
• Add an
• Real accounts: Auto Signals trade a real account when
AllowLiveAccount=true and EnableWebhookExecution=true in the EA — both ship ON, so a freshly attached EA with a valid token will place REAL orders. Set them to false in the EA inputs if you want shadow-only.•
{{ticker}} / {{close}} / {{strategy.order.action}} are TradingView placeholders — it fills them when the alert fires.• Exchange prefixes are stripped (
OANDA:EURUSD → EURUSD); set the EA's SymbolSuffix/Prefix if your broker uses one (e.g. EURUSD.r).• Add an
"id" so a repeat of the same alert is ignored — the id is remembered for good, not for a few seconds, so even a much later replay of it never places a second order.
A note on units
Several parameters accept the same idea in different units — a stop can be sl_pips, sl_price or
sl_pct. Pick whichever your strategy already computes; there is no advantage to one over another
except that pips and percentages travel across accounts and instruments, and absolute prices do
not. If one alert feeds several accounts, prefer the relative form.
Where these are accepted
The parameters above are the vocabulary of your account address. A strategy or subscription address speaks a smaller set of verbs with the detail moved into fields — that difference, and the table of what each address may send, is in How alerts are routed.
