TradingView add-on

TradingView is the most active social network for traders and investors. TradingView allows users to create and share technical analysis and advanced trading strategies on their interactive charts.

With the Gunbot TradingView add-on you can trade on alerts sent from custom strategies at Tradingview, completely managing your strategy at Tradingview. Gunbot receives trade signals by e-mail and trades accordingly.

This is a paid add-on.

  1. Setup video

  4. Alert message contents

Setup video

Before you start setting up your alerts, you need:

  • the IMAP data for the email address you receive alerts from TradingView on

  • a Pro subscription at tradingview.com (works with trial too)

Script used in example: Finn's Microprofit Strategy

Tradingview settings

To run Gunbot with the TradingView add-on, the following are the only relevant settings. Normal Gunbot strategy and pair settings are not relevant and not used. Be sure to add one pair for the exchange you want to run TV on though (this can be any pair, it will not be used by the add-on)!

Parameter Default Value Description
TV_GAIN 0.6 Values: numerical – represent a percentage. Set a minimum gain in % that trades initiated by Tradingview must comply to. When sell orders are being placed by Tradingview that would have a lower gain than this value, Gunbot will not place the order. Use this to prevent selling at loss.
TV_TRADING_LIMIT_BUY 0.001 Values: numerical – represent an amount in primary trading currency. This value defines the trading limit for orders placed through Tradingview. The default value of 0.001 would place maximum orders of 0.001 BTC when used on a BTC_x pair.
TV_PYRAMID true Values: true or false. Setting this value to true enables the use of pyramid contracts for selling through Tradingview, allowing for stacked sell orders. Be sure to have checked your strategy and balances before trying this. Selling respects TV_TRADING_LIMIT_SELL, making it possible to sell an asset in multiple steps.
PYRAMID_BUY true Values: true or false. Setting this value to true enables the use of pyramid contracts for buying through Tradingview, allowing for stacked buy orders. This might possibly trigger a large amount of trades. Be sure to have checked your strategy and balances before trying this. Selling respects TV_TRADING_LIMIT_BUY, making it possible to buy an asset in multiple steps.
TV_TRADING_LIMIT_SELL 0.001 Values: numerical – represent an amount in primary trading currency. This value defines the trading limit for limit sell orders placed through Tradingview, only applies when TV_PYRAMID is set to true. The default value of 0.001 would place maximum orders of 0.001 BTC when used on a BTC_x pair.
TV_PROTECTION true Values: true or false. When set to true Gunbot will check there is an overall profit before selling, as specified in TV_GAIN. When set to false, Gunbot will execute all TradingView without interfering with a custom strategy.
TV_STOPLOSS_PERCENTAGE 60 Values: numerical – represents a percentage. Percentage below averaged bought price at which a sell signal should override TV_PROTECTION and sell in a stop-loss manner.
TV_TRADING_LIMIT_CAP 0.9 Values: numerical – represents a price in BTC worth. The maximum amount of BTC to be accumulated for a pair.

Imap listener settings

You need the IMAP settings to configure Gunbot to listen to TradingView signals, which will arrive by e-mail.

Parameter Default Value Description
enabled false Set this to true to enable the Tradingview plugin. You need to acquire a licence for this.
authorized_froms ["[email protected]"] Set the Tradingview sender email address that you want to use.
user YOUR_EMAIL_HERE Set your own email address here. This address listens for mails from Tradingview.
password YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE Input the password for your own email address.
host imap.gmail.com The address of the IMAP server that the plugin needs to connect to.
port 993 The port number for the IMAP server
tls true Defines if TLS encryption is used for the IMAP connection.
rejectUnauthorized false
