TradingView to CrossTrade webhook JSON

CrossTrade takes a flat JSON object as well as its key=value; text. Build the JSON and check it against CrossTrade's own rules as you type: one flat object, no empty values, and every field a place order needs.

Updated 23 October 2026. Runs in your browser; nothing you type is uploaded.

Send to

Alert from

Alert message, as typed in TradingView's Message box

Placeholders for any alert

Strategy alerts only

Text placeholders go in quotes; a placeholder added outside a string comes with them.

CrossTrade, strategy alert

Valid JSON: TradingView sends it as application/json

0 errors, 1 thing to check. This is the CrossTrade preset for a strategy.

YOUR_SECRET_KEY is still a stand-inCheck
Replace it with your own value before you create the alert.

What CrossTrade receives

Content-Type: application/json, with sample values in place of the placeholders.

{
  "key": "YOUR_SECRET_KEY",
  "command": "place",
  "account": "Sim101",
  "instrument": "ES1!",
  "action": "buy",
  "qty": "2",
  "order_type": "market",
  "tif": "day"
}

Where it goes

Webhook URL: https://app.crosstrade.io/v1/send/YOUR_UID/YOUR_CHANNEL Copy the complete URL from your CrossTrade account.
The secret: In the message: "key" carries your Secret Key. The URL is your own endpoint.

CrossTrade reads a body that starts with { as JSON (since 21 September 2026) and anything else as its key=value; text; both go to the same URL.
The JSON is one flat object, with no nesting, arrays, nulls or empty values. A place needs account, instrument, action, qty and order_type, plus tif on NinjaTrader.
A rejected request still gets HTTP 200, with an error in the body, so check CrossTrade's log rather than TradingView's.

Or build it in Pine, so the JSON is never inside other JSON

In the alert: Order fills only, and nothing but {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in the Message box. Each order passes the whole message as alert_message, with its own buy or sell.

//@version=6
strategy("Webhook message", overlay = true)

// Your own rules go here; this example crosses two averages.
fast = ta.sma(close, 10)
slow = ta.sma(close, 30)
qty = 1

// The whole message, built here. In the alert: Order fills only, and nothing but
// {{strategy.order.alert_message}} in the Message box.
webhookMessage(string action, string id, string position) =>
    string m = '{'
    m += '"key": "YOUR_SECRET_KEY",'
    m += '"command": "place",'
    m += '"account": "Sim101",'
    m += '"instrument": "ES1!",'
    m += '"action": "' + action + '",'
    m += '"qty": "' + str.tostring(qty) + '",'
    m += '"order_type": "market",'
    m += '"tif": "day"'
    m += '}'
    m

if ta.crossover(fast, slow)
    strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, qty, alert_message = webhookMessage("buy", "Long", "long"))
if ta.crossunder(fast, slow)
    strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short, qty, alert_message = webhookMessage("sell", "Short", "short"))

The code for every preset compiles on TradingView with no errors or warnings. Put your own entry rules in place of the two averages, then check the script for repaint risks.

What CrossTrade reads

Format: JSON; it needs "key", "command".
Webhook URL: https://app.crosstrade.io/v1/send/YOUR_UID/YOUR_CHANNEL Copy the complete URL from your CrossTrade account.
The secret: In the message: "key" carries your Secret Key. The URL is your own endpoint.

CrossTrade reads a body that starts with { as JSON (since 21 September 2026) and anything else as its key=value; text; both go to the same URL.
The JSON is one flat object, with no nesting, arrays, nulls or empty values. A place needs account, instrument, action, qty and order_type, plus tif on NinjaTrader.
A rejected request still gets HTTP 200, with an error in the body, so check CrossTrade's log rather than TradingView's.

TradingView's side of a webhook

Plan and 2FA: Webhook notifications are on Essential, Plus, Premium, Ultimate, not on the free Basic plan (pricing table), and webhook alerts are allowed only with two-factor authentication turned on.
Content-Type: application/json when the message is valid JSON, text/plain otherwise. TradingView sends a POST with the message as the body.
IP addresses to allowlist: 52.89.214.238, 34.212.75.30, 54.218.53.128, 52.32.178.7. Over HTTPS TradingView also sends a client certificate for webhook-server@tradingview.com (webhook authentication).
Ports, IPv6 and time: Ports 80 and 443 only; no IPv6; no localhost or private addresses. A request your server takes more than three seconds to answer is cancelled, and a 500 to 599 answer other than 504 is sent again after 5 seconds, up to 3 times (resubmission).
Message length: 4,000 characters in the alert's Message box; 40,960 from alert() or alert_message. The body has the same limits, and an emoji counts as several characters (size limits).
Secrets: TradingView asks you not to put login credentials or passwords in the webhook URL or message (credentials for webhooks).

Method and privacy

Method: Runs in your browser. The message is read as JSON with each TradingView placeholder as one token, typed as text or a number from TradingView's placeholder list, then read again by a JSON parser with sample values in their place. CrossTrade's rules come from its own docs, and TradingView's from its pages, both read 23 October 2026. It cannot see your CrossTrade settings or whether an alert was delivered: send a test alert before you trade on it.

Calculations run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is uploaded. Your last numbers stay in this browser so you can pick up where you left off; Forget them clears them. A link with your numbers carries them after the # sign, which browsers do not send to servers, and the page takes them out of the address before any analytics loads. Copy and download actions save your calculation locally. The site may record coarse tool actions under its privacy policy, without inputs, results, file contents or filenames.

Common questions

Does CrossTrade accept JSON from TradingView?

Yes, since 21 September 2026. A body that starts with { is read as JSON and anything else as the key=value; format, at the same webhook URL. The JSON is one flat object with CrossTrade's own field names: no nested objects, arrays, nulls or empty values.

What fields does a CrossTrade place order need?

key and command, then account, instrument, action, qty and order_type, plus tif on NinjaTrader. A limit order also needs limit_price, and a stop market order needs stop_price.

Why does a CrossTrade alert show as delivered but place no trade?

CrossTrade answers a rejected request with HTTP 200 and an error in the body, so TradingView's alert log can show a delivery for an order that never went through. Check CrossTrade's own log.
