What Is the Signals Page?
The Signals page connects your own TradingView alerts to your broker accounts. Each webhook token routes alerts to one account. Point a token at the leader of a copy group and every signal is copied to the group's followers at their copy ratio. The page also keeps a log of every signal received, so you can see what was executed and what was rejected.
How to Create a Webhook Token
- Open the Signals page and click + New Token.
- Give the token a Name, for example "ES Scalper Strategy".
- Under Route to Account, pick the account the alerts should trade, normally the leader of your copy group.
- Click Create and copy the webhook URL. The token in the URL is the only credential, so keep it private.
- In TradingView, create an alert, tick Webhook URL under Notifications, paste the URL, and paste one JSON message into the Message box. The Signals page has copy-ready examples, including brackets and Pine Script strategies.
Managing Tokens
| Control | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Enable toggle | Turn a token off to ignore its alerts without deleting it. |
| Edit | Rename the token or route it to a different account. |
| Regenerate | Issue a new URL. The old URL stops working, so update your TradingView alerts. |
| Delete | Remove the token for good. |
The Signal Log
Every alert that reaches a token appears in the log with its time, token, symbol, action, quantity, status, and message. EXECUTED means the order was placed. REJECTED says why, for example invalid JSON, a missing field, a locked account, or a broker refusal. Click Refresh to load the latest rows.
Alert Message Format
Each alert sends one JSON message with at least an action, a symbol and a quantity, for example {"action": "buy", "symbol": "MNQ1!", "qty": 1}. Add takeProfit and stopLoss price levels for a bracket. Full details: TradingView to Tradovate setup guide and the TradingView webhook reference.
Signal Safety Tips
- Route a new token to a demo account first and check the signal log shows EXECUTED.
- Size your alert's quantity for the smallest follower's firm limits; followers copy it at their ratio.
- Disable a token before major news events if the strategy is not news-tested.
- Review signal-driven trades in the Journal weekly.
