Signals

It's easy to send signals to TradersPost using Webhooks from platforms like TradingView or TrendSpider. You just need to send JSON like the following to the webhook URL you create within TradersPost.

Enter Bullish

The buy action is a bullish signal. When TradersPost receives a buy signal, we will Buy To Cover any bearish (short) position for the ticker and Buy To Open a bullish (long).

{
    "ticker": "SQ",
    "action": "buy"
}

Exit Bullish

The exit action will exit any open position. So for example if you have a long shares position open, then TradersPost will Sell To Close those long shares.

{
    "ticker": "SQ",
    "action": "exit"
}

Enter Bearish

The sell action is a bearish signal. When TradersPost receives a sell signal, we will Sell To Close any bullish (long) position for the ticker and Sell To Open a bearish (short) position.

{
    "ticker": "SQ",
    "action": "sell"
}

Exit Bearish

The exit action will exit any open position. So for example if you have a short shares position open, then TradersPost will Buy to Cover those short shares.

{
    "ticker": "SQ",
    "action": "exit"
}

Full Signal Example

You can optionally include a price and quantity in the signal that can then be used in the calculated orders that we send to your broker. Here is a full example signal.

{
    "ticker": "SQ",
    "action": "buy",
    "price": 108.88,
    "quantity": 100
}

If you configure your strategy subscription to use limit orders and to use the signal quantity, then you will get a Buy Limit order for 100 shares at a price of $108.88.
