Understanding TradingView's Role in Automated Trading
TradingView is the leading technical analysis platform, offering over 100 indicators for asset price analysis and strategy testing. Advanced users can create custom indicators and signals, making it a powerful tool for traders.
How Custom TradingView Signals Function
By connecting your trading bot to selected TradingView indicators, the bot receives alerts and executes trades automatically. Signals can be:
- One-time: Triggered during specific events (e.g., resistance breakouts).
- Repeating: Activated dynamically (e.g., adding positions at trendlines).
Example Scenario:
A flat triangle pattern on BNB/USDT suggests an impending breakout. Instead of entering at the breakout, a "downward cross" condition on TradingView signals a retest of the new support level, optimizing entry timing.
