Alerts

Set it once. Then put your phone away.

Vektor waits most days, so you shouldn't be watching it. One TradingView alert per market delivers every entry and exit the moment it happens.

Set up the alert

One alert per market. Ninety seconds.

How

1With Vektor on the chart, right-click the chart (or hit the alarm-clock icon) and add an alert.
2Set the condition to the Vektor strategy and choose Order fills only — one alert then covers every entry and exit.
3
Set the message to the string below — copy it exactly, it is what makes each notification carry the trade's own details — then pick your channels: push, email, or webhook.
Alert message
{{strategy.order.alert_message}}

Why fills can't lie

Orders process on bar close.

A fill alert only fires when a bar has actually closed and an order has actually filled — the same moment the trade appears in the Strategy Tester. Nothing fires mid-bar, so an alert can never describe a signal that later moves or vanishes. Live alerts, bar replay, and the tester all agree.

+Running both markets? Create one alert on each chart — two alerts total.

TradingView plans

Alerts need a paid TradingView plan. Everything else doesn't.

What exactly requires the paid plan? #

Only alerts. Adding Vektor, seeing every signal on the chart, and running the full Strategy Tester all work on TradingView's free plan. But TradingView only allows script alerts on its paid plans — Essential or higher — and that's their pricing, not ours. We'd rather tell you now than have you discover it at the alert dialog.

Is it worth it? #

If you plan to act on signals without watching charts, yes — alerts are what turn Vektor from “check the chart” into “get told the moment it matters.” If you're happy checking the chart once a day around the close, you can run without them.

My alerts stopped firing. #

Usual causes: the alert expired or was paused in TradingView's alert panel, the plan lapsed, or the alert was created on a different chart or symbol than you think. Walk through troubleshooting before rebuilding it.

Webhooks & automation

Machine-readable, if you want it.

What does the webhook payload look like? #

With the alert message set to the string below, every fill delivers a small JSON object — event type, side, ticker, price, and the initial stop on entries — to any webhook URL you give TradingView. That's enough to drive journaling, notifications, or your own execution tooling.

Does Vektor trade for me? #

No. Vektor signals; it never touches your money or your exchange account. If you wire alerts into an execution service, that automation — its keys, its failure modes, its fills — is yours to own and monitor. Start small and supervise it.
