Quick Examples
Software part of algotrading is simpler than you think. TradingView+TradingConnector is a great combo to do this actually. Have a look at the examples published on TradingView website. We took example scripts straight from TradingView’s PineScript default list (so-called “built-ins”), added 2 lines of code to each - lines of code responsible for triggering alerts - and that’s all.
When configuring alert, make sure to select "alert() function calls only" in CreateAlert popup. One alert per ticker is required.
This routing works for Forex, indices, stocks, crypto - anything your broker offers via their MetaTrader4 or 5.

HOW TO FORCE STRATEGIES FIRE EXIT ALERTS NOT REVERSALS
