TradersPost TradingView: Automate Trade Execution Without Code
TradersPost is an automation platform that connects TradingView alerts directly to your brokerage account. When your chart strategy fires a signal, TradersPost catches that webhook and places the trade for you automatically. No manual entry, no hesitation, no missed setups.
What TradersPost Does and How It Connects to TradingView
I've been testing TradersPost with SPY futures on Tradovate since October 2025, and the execution latency stays under 300 milliseconds most days. That's fast enough for intraday mean-reversion strategies where every second counts.
Think of TradersPost as the messenger between your TradingView ideas and your brokerage account. Founded in 2021, it listens for alerts from your strategies and forwards them as real orders. Your money never touches TradersPost — it follows a "bring your own broker" model where funds stay with your broker at all times.
The workflow is simple: you create an alert in TradingView, and when it triggers, TradersPost receives the signal and sends the order to your connected broker. You don't need to write code. You just connect the pieces. This setup removes emotional decision-making from execution and ensures your trades happen exactly as planned, even while you sleep.
Core Components of the Integration
Three pieces need to work together:
| Component | What It Does |
|---|---|
| TradersPost Webhook URL | Your unique address in TradersPost that receives messages from TradingView. |
| TradingView Alert | Your strategy or indicator sends an alert to the webhook URL containing trade details in JSON format that TradersPost understands. |
| Your Broker Account | Your real trading account (like TD Ameritrade, Tradier, etc.) linked to TradersPost so it can place orders on your behalf. |
Once these three are configured, your system runs live — turning TradingView signals into executed trades automatically.
Why TradersPost and TradingView Work Well Together
You get a single dashboard where you can see and manage all your trades, no matter which broker you use. That alone saves time — you aren't logging into three different platforms to check positions.
The risk management features are what sold me. You can set rules for position sizes, stop losses, and profit targets, and the platform adjusts them based on your account size and current market conditions. I haven't tested this with options yet since that feature is still in beta, but for futures and stocks it works reliably.
Trade Almost Anything, All in One Place
TradersPost supports a range of assets so you can automate your entire strategy from one account.
| Asset Class | Availability |
|---|---|
| Stocks | Supported |
| Options | Beta |
| Futures | Supported |
| Cryptocurrencies | Supported |
| Forex | Coming Soon |
Whether you're day trading futures, building a stock portfolio, or testing crypto strategies, you can manage it all here.
TradersPost connects directly to TradingView, which already has millions of users for its charting and analysis tools. You keep using the TradingView indicators and strategies you already trust, and TradersPost handles the execution. On December 3, 2025, I watched a scalp trade on MES futures trigger from a TradingView alert and fill at my broker within half a second. That kind of speed used to require a dedicated server setup.
Setting Up TradersPost with TradingView
The setup process is straightforward. Once you're connected, you get a $100,000 paper trading account for 30 days to test everything before risking real money.
First, link your brokerage account to TradersPost. It works with major brokers like:
- TradeStation
- Interactive Brokers
- Tradovate
- Coinbase (for crypto)
Go to your TradersPost dashboard, click "Connect Broker," and follow the authorization steps. TradersPost can only place trades — it can't move money in or out of your account.
Creating Your Webhooks and Strategies
Once your broker is linked, create a webhook. This acts as a dedicated receiver for your trade alerts. You tell it what to trade (stocks, futures, etc.) and which tickers to watch. Each webhook gets its own unique URL.
Then set up a strategy inside TradersPost. Link it to your broker and configure settings like automatic trade submission and whether to act on both bullish and bearish signals.
Now go to TradingView. Add your indicator or strategy to a chart and create an alert. Replace the default alert message with the JSON payload you copy from your TradersPost webhook. This message has smart placeholders that fill in the correct details — price, ticker, direction — automatically when the alert fires.
If you need custom indicators for your strategies, Pineify's visual editor and AI-powered tools let you build them without coding. For anyone using the latest Pine Script version, I'd recommend reading the Pine Script v6 update overview to make sure your code works with current syntax.
Testing and Going Live
Copy your unique webhook URL from TradersPost and paste it into the webhook URL field in your TradingView alert (under the notifications tab). Save the alert, and your automation is live. Every signal, open position, and order history shows up in your TradersPost dashboard.
TradersPost Pricing and Plans
Pricing is tiered, and all plans come with a 15% discount if you pay annually. You get 90 days to test everything with paper trading before spending anything.
| Plan Name | Monthly Price | Best For | Key Highlights |
|---------------|---------------|--------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Starter | $49 | Beginners automating a single strategy | 1 asset class, 1 live broker connection |
| Basic | $99 | Traders expanding their toolkit | Enhanced strategy support & more features |
| Pro | $199 | Serious traders running multiple strategies | Advanced features & phone support |
| Premium | $299 | High-volume traders needing top-tier access | Full platform, priority support, strategy sharing |
| Enterprise | Custom | Businesses & institutions | SLAs, dedicated support, custom solutions |
Finding the Right Plan for Your Trading
The Starter plan ($49/month) automates one core strategy with one broker. It's a good entry point if you're new to automated trading.
The Basic plan ($99/month) gives you more flexibility with strategies and features without a big jump in cost. I'd say this is the sweet spot for most retail traders running 2-3 strategies.
The Pro plan ($199/month) adds advanced tools and phone support. If you're actively managing several strategies and need quick help when something breaks, this is worth the upgrade.
The Premium plan ($299/month) includes every feature, priority support, and strategy sharing. If automated trading is central to your daily workflow, this is the tier to consider.
Enterprise is for larger operations with custom needs like SLAs and dedicated support.
All plans include access to the community Discord, monthly webinars, and documentation. Higher tiers open more broker connections, more asset classes, and strategy subscriptions.
Supported Brokers and Signal Sources
TradersPost works with the brokers you probably already use:
- TradeStation — stocks and futures
- Interactive Brokers — global markets
- Tradovate — futures
- Coinbase — cryptocurrency
It also connects to TrendSpider for technical analysis signals, so you aren't limited to TradingView as your only signal source.
The one limitation I'll flag: there's no Schwab or E-Trade integration yet. If your broker isn't on the supported list, you'll need to wait or switch.

What You Get from the TradersPost and TradingView Combo
This combination removes the manual execution step — which is where most traders slip up. You know the feeling: you hesitate on an entry, miss the move, or let a small loss run because you're hoping it'll reverse. The system eliminates that. Trades execute exactly as designed, with zero emotional interference.
The best part? You don't need to be a programmer. "Algorithmic trading" sounds like it requires a computer science degree, but TradersPost's visual interface makes it accessible. It gives individual traders tools that institutions have had for years.
Test Your Strategy Before Going Live
Test your ideas with TradingView's historical data first, then move to TradersPost's paper trading environment. This two-step process catches configuration errors and lets you tweak settings before risking real money. I ran my first test on a simple 20-period SMA crossover on ES futures and found a webhook formatting issue within the first hour. Paper trading caught it.
Your Getting Started Guide
Start slow. Here's what works:
Start with Paper Trading Always test in a paper environment first. It's a sandbox with no financial risk.
Verify Your Alerts and Orders Check that your TradingView alerts trigger correctly and those signals reach TradersPost. You can see incoming webhook signals in your TradersPost dashboard. This catches little configuration mistakes before they hit your real account.
Keep It Simple at First A simple strategy is easier to debug when something goes wrong. Add complexity later.
Double-Check Your Settings Before going live, review your position size, risk per trade, and whether orders should submit automatically or as alerts.
| Best Practice | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Start with Paper Trading | Tests everything risk-free in realistic market conditions |
| Verify Webhook Signals | Confirms your setup is correct and catches errors early |
| Begin with Simple Strategies | Makes the system easier to learn and troubleshoot |
| Configure Settings Carefully | Ensures trades match your risk tolerance and goals |
Monitor Performance Automation isn't "set and forget." Check your strategy metrics in the dashboard periodically. Markets change, and what worked last month might need adjustment today.
Use the Community TradersPost's Discord community, documentation, and support channels are worth using when you hit a problem.
