Demo trading helps you validate your Pine Script logic, verify alert triggers, and ensure seamless communication between TradingView and OKX—without any financial exposure.

Unlock Unlimited Signal Trading Potential on OKX

By integrating TradingView signals with OKX signal bots, you gain access to a powerful automated trading system. You can turn your technical analysis into executable trades, leverage proven strategies, and stay ahead in volatile markets.

Here’s how to set it all up step by step.

Step 1: Get Started with Trading Bots

Log in to your OKX account and navigate to:

Trade > Trading Bots > Marketplace

From there, go to the "Signal Bots" tab and click "Create" to begin setting up your bot.

This opens the gateway to connecting external signals—specifically from TradingView—to automate your trading decisions.

Step 2: Create Your Trading Signal

Click "Add Custom Signal" to generate your unique trading signal.

You’ll have the option to:

• Assign a name to your signal
• Add a description (up to 500 characters, optional)

Once complete, click "Create Signal".

At this point, OKX automatically generates two critical components:

• A webhook URL
• An AlertMsg Specification

These are essential for linking your TradingView alerts to OKX’s trading engine.

Step 3: Configure Signal Delivery via TradingView

Now it’s time to connect your strategy on TradingView so that when a condition is met (e.g., RSI crosses 30), an alert is sent directly to OKX.

Step 3.1: Select Your Trading Pair and Script

Open TradingView and choose the cryptocurrency pair you want to trade.

Click "Indicators", then browse under "My Scripts" to find your custom Pine Script. If you're new, OKX provides beginner-friendly templates for popular strategies like MACD.

You can also use built-in indicators and configure alerts based on them.

Step 3.2: Set Up Alerts Using the Webhook URL

There are two primary methods to send signals from TradingView to OKX:

Method A: Using alertcondition()

1. Edit your script in the Pine Editor.
2. Save and add it to the chart.
3. Click "Alert".
4. Change the condition to match your script.
5. In the Message field, paste the AlertMsg Specification provided by OKX.
6. Under notifications, enable Webhook, paste the OKX webhook URL, and click "Create".

Method B: Using alert()

1. Configure your script using the alert() function.
2. Save and apply it to the chart.
3. Click "Indicator Settings" and adjust signal token and parameters if needed.
4. Create an alert with the condition set to "Any call of alert()".
5. Paste the webhook URL from OKX into the webhook field.

Both methods work effectively—choose based on your scripting preference and strategy complexity.

Step 4: Launch Your Signal Bot

After successfully publishing your signal, return to OKX and click "Create Bot".

Set your desired trading parameters:

• Choose trading pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT)
• Set leverage ratio (e.g., 10x)
• Define investment amount per trade
• Select order type (limit or market)

Once configured, your bot will start monitoring incoming signals and execute trades automatically when conditions are met.

• Receive real-time alerts from TradingView
• Execute trades according to your predefined rules
• Provide detailed performance analytics

You retain full control at all times:

• Pause or stop the bot anytime
• Adjust position size or leverage
• Monitor open positions and P&L

Use the dashboard to review historical trades, refine entry/exit logic, and improve long-term profitability.

Key Alert Message Specifications

For smooth integration, OKX supports specific alert message formats that translate TradingView triggers into actionable trade commands.
