TradersPost has a "use your own broker" architecture. We are not a broker or an exchange. We do not hold your money and you are required to connect an existing brokerage to TradersPost in order to use the functionality. We have integrations with over a dozen brokers and exchanges. The full list is availble below:
Webhooks are signals that contain buy and sell instructions that can be produced by an automated algorithm or even a manual human trader. Signals are sent to TradersPost via webhooks using JSON.
Here is an example of what the JSON would look like for AMD to buy 5 shares at a price of $85.50 with a take profit and stop loss.
Sending webhooks is easy! If you are a user of TradingView, you can configure an alert to send a webhook with a message like this.
Strategies are what you connect to a broker in TradersPost. They are linked to a webhook and you can subscribe to a strategy to connect it to your broker. Strategies are private by default. Strategy managers can publish their strategies or individual control which users have access to the strategy. When a user subscribes to a strategy, the trades will be placed automatically in the broker linked to the subscription.
A strategy subscription is how a user connects a strategy to a broker. Any signal associated with a strategy will create a new trade for the strategy subscribers and allow you to either auto submit the trade to your broker or get an email to review the trade before approving or rejecting.

TradersPost is NOT designed to be a high frequency trading platform. The minimum allowed timeframe to trade on is the 1 minute chart. You are allowed to send 60 requests per minute and 500 requests per hour. If you setup a strategy on anything less than the 1 minute chart, your account may be temporarily suspended or permanently banned if the issue is not addressed.

You can use webhooks to send signals to TradersPost from your own custom code, or from a system like or . A webhook receives data in the JSON format. JSON is an open standard format, and data interchange format, that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data between systems.
The values wrapped in {{ and }} will be replaced dynamically by TradingView when the alert is sent to the webhook URL. With this, you can use something like the strategy by Matt DeLong and place the MOMO trades directly in your broker!
