How to automate Trading View indicator alerts with 3Commas

24 Okt 2023

In this guide we will explain how to connect and automate a Buy&Sell strategy with 3Commas using a Trading View indicator. This guide will enable you to create long strategies on all spot pairs available on 3Commas.

In this example we will set up a Buy&Sell bot that will open the long position when the Tweezer Bottom - Bullish indicator signals the pattern. Then we will illustrate all the steps necessary to open the long position. The position will be closed using 3Commas take profit and stop loss.

1) Choice of the technical indicator to be used.
Trading View offers an extensive library with technical indicators developed by the in-house team. To access all available indicators, open the indicators dashboard (A) and click on the Technicals section (B). In this example we will choose an indicator in the Patterns section (C) called Tweezer Bottom - Bullish (D).

Now that you have properly created and configured your bot, go inside your new bot's 3Commas dashboard, scroll down, and copy the 'Initial Start Deal Condition' message.

3) Trading View Connection - 3Commas.
Come back to Trading View and create a new alert (A), select the indicator from the drop-down menu (B), then choose Once Per Bar Close (C), and finally create a name for your alert and enter the message you copied previously within the Message field (D).
