🔔 Alert Message Overview
Alert messages are essential! The connection between your TradingView alerts and Pip Sender relies on alert messages. To ensure Pip Sender understands your intent, your TradingView alerts must send correctly formatted messages with instructions in the proper syntax.
💪🏼 What You Can Do with Alert Messages
With the right message format, Pip Sender can perform nearly any action you need, including:
- Opening new positions
- Placing market or pending orders
- Canceling orders
- Closing positions - fully or partially
- Modifying orders or positions using filters
- Setting breakeven
- Enabling Pip/ATR trailing stop
- …and more
📘 How to Learn Message Syntax
You don't need to learn the syntax manually because we provide the Message Tools, which allows you to generate messages correctly with just a few clicks.
If you are still curious about the syntax or prefer not to rely on the Message Generator, here are links to get started:
- Buy/Sell message syntax - place a Buy or Sell order
- Close message syntax - close positions using filters
- Cancel message syntax - cancel orders using filters
- Update message syntax - update tickets, orders, or positions
We designed the syntax to be simple, consistent, easy to remember, and easy to use. However, due to the power of alert messages, mastering the syntax may take some time.
