Webhooks allow strategy alerts to be sent to third-party applications such as Discord, Telegram, automation platforms, or anywhere for advanced usage such as automated trading.
Creating a webhook
To create a webhook, simply look at the alert menu sidebar and click + New under the WEBHOOKS section. This will open the settings for the new webhook, which will also appear in the alert menu sidebar.
Users can create up to 4 webhooks.
Webhook Settings
Webhook URL (Required)
The URL of the webhook that will be reached when an alert is triggered. Only valid URLs are allowed.
Once a valid URL is entered, the webhook toggle can be enabled.
Events
The event toggles determine for which strategy events (long, short, exit long, exit short) a webhook is triggered.
Payload (Optional)
The payload field should contain the data sent to the webhook. The expected format for the payload is JSON.
Learn more about the JSON format here.
If the payload is invalid it will be indicated.
If no payload is provided an empty JSON {} will be sent.
Placeholders
Users might want to include in their alert message dynamic data, such as which strategy event triggered the alert or the entry price of the strategy.
This is possible by using placeholders. The placeholder syntax is as follows [[placeholder_name]]. The following placeholders are available.
| Placeholder | Description | Type |
|---|
| [[currency]] | Currency of the asset the strategy is based on | string |
| [[current_contract_myy]] | For strategies set on futures, current contract traded by the strategy in the format [ROOT][MONTH_CODE][2 digit YEAR], for example ESZ25 | string |
| [[current_contract_myyyy]] | For strategies set on futures, current contract traded by the strategy in the format [ROOT][MONTH_CODE][4 digit YEAR], for example ESZ2025 | string |
| [[exchange]] | Exchange where the asset is traded | string |
| [[strategy_event]] | Event originating by the strategy, options include “long”, “short”, “exit long”, “exit short” | string |
| [[strategy_id]] | A unique identifier associated to the strategy | string |
| [[strategy_market_position]] | Current position of the strategy, options include “long”, “short”, “flat” | string |
| [[strategy_name]] | Name of the strategy | string |
| [[strategy_order_action]] | Action taken by the strategy, options include “buy” and “sell”. For this placeholder an exit long would lead to the value being “sell” while an exit short would lead to “buy” | string |
| [[strategy_order_price]] | Price at which the order was executed | number |
| [[ticker]] | Ticker symbol the strategy is based on | string |
| [[time]] | ISO 8601 datetime (including milliseconds) of the opening time of the candle for which the strategy event occurred. Example 2025-11-17T23:14:52.123Z | datetime |
| [[timeframe]] | Timeframe the strategy is based on | number |
| [[timenow]] | ISO 8601 datetime (including milliseconds) of the alert being triggered. Example 2025-11-17T23:14:52.123Z | datetime |
Even though the result of a placeholder can have a specific type, we only consider placeholders valid if they are strings (in between double quotation marks) in the payload.
{
"id": "my_unique_id",
"time": "[[timenow]]",
"event": "[[strategy_event]]",
"year": 2025,
"strategy conditions":
{
"long": "Confirmation Any Bullish",
"short": "Confirmation Any Bearish"
}
}
Placeholders may be inserted in the message directly through the “Placeholders” dropdown and clicking in the specific placeholder to insert. These will be inserted as a string directly.
Creating Multiple Webhooks
Users can create up to 4 webhooks, one for different events, different URLs, or payloads.
This is useful if the URL or expected payload for specific events are different, or if a specific alert should be delivered to multiple platforms at the same time.
Duplicating Webhooks
To easily preserve fields such as webhook URL and payload, users can duplicate the webhook by hovering on its corresponding item in the alert menu sidebar, clicking on the duplicate button will duplicate the webhook.
Duplicated webhooks come with the webhook URL toggle disabled.
