TradingView is widely known for its customizable charts and reliable alerts. But one of its lesser-celebrated tricks is how it can team up with trading bots, such as Gunbot, to automatically execute trades when your chosen market conditions roll around. Think of it this way: TradingView handles the brains (the strategy and the conditions that trigger signals), and your bot takes care of placing the trades. This approach can cut down on the constant screen-watching and guesswork that can wear out even the most dedicated traders.
Below, we’ll dig deep into how to connect TradingView’s alerts to a trading bot, how to come up with better rules, how to troubleshoot some common hiccups, and how to keep everything flexible so you can refine your approach over time. We’ll cover practical steps and also talk about what it’s really like to rely on an automated setup—both the good and the not-so-good.
