One of the most powerful features of the futrades TradingView indicator is its built-in alert system. Once configured, you'll receive notifications the moment a BUY or SELL signal fires — via email, browser popup, or webhook to any external service. You don't have to watch the chart.
This guide walks through the complete setup: installing the Pine Script, adding the indicator to your chart, and configuring alerts so you never miss a signal.
After signing up for futrades, navigate to your member dashboard and click My Platforms. Select TradingView and copy the Pine Script from the install guide. Then:
If you see a separate pane below the chart instead of arrows on the candles, verify that overlay=true is set in the indicator() declaration at the top of the script. If it's missing, the indicator will render in a sub-panel rather than on the main chart.
Correct behavior: BUY arrows appear below bullish signal candles, SELL arrows appear above bearish signal candles, all directly on the main price chart. No separate pane.
You can customize the indicator settings by clicking the gear icon next to the indicator name in the legend. Adjustable parameters include Fast EMA length, Slow EMA length, Trend EMA length, RSI length, and Volume Surge multiplier. The defaults are optimized for most intraday and swing setups, but feel free to experiment on your specific instrument.
With the indicator on your chart:
Repeat the process to create a second alert for SELL signals, selecting "SELL" in the condition dropdown.
TradingView sends email alerts to the email address registered on your account. In the alert creation panel, check the Send email box. TradingView's free plan includes a limited number of email alerts per day — a paid TradingView plan (Essential or higher) removes these restrictions for serious traders.
Webhooks allow futrades signals to be forwarded to any external service — a mobile notification app, a trading journal, a Telegram bot, or a custom automation. In the alert panel, check Webhook URL and paste your webhook endpoint.
The futrades Pine Script outputs alerts in JSON format:
This structured format makes it simple to parse the signal data in any downstream application. The {{ticker}}, {{close}}, and {{time}} placeholders are automatically populated by TradingView at alert time.
