TradingView webhook alerts: JSON format and examples

The JSON fields Copygram reads from TradingView alerts, the signal_id rule for modify and close, and ready-to-copy examples for every order type.

Updated Oct 26, 2026

AI-powered alerts, no schema

Copygram reads your TradingView alerts with AI: there is no strict JSON schema. Send the fields you have and Copygram works out the intent. The more context you include, the more reliable execution becomes.

The signal_id rule

You only need a signal_id when you plan to modify SL/TP, close a specific trade or manage a position from a later alert.

  • The original open alert defines the signal_id.
  • Every later modify or close alert for that trade must reuse the same id.
  • Best practice: have your TradingView strategy generate a random or sequential id and reuse it.

Examples

The bare minimum: Copygram infers the rest.

"Close opposite positions" is not a webhook field

If a new BUY signal should close any open SELL on the same symbol (and the other way round), turn on Close opposite positions in the receiver's settings (Entries and exits), not in your alert payload.

Go to receiver settings

Tips and best practices

  • Include as many fields as you can: execution gets more reliable.
  • Generate a random signal_id per trade in your strategy.
  • Reuse the same signal_id on later modify and close alerts.
  • Plain text commands like close EURUSD work for quick actions.
  • Create your webhook URL under Signal sources → TradingView.
  • Test with a small volume before scaling up.
