Account Setup Guide

Follow these steps to start automating your trades.

Step 1: Connect Your Broker

The first step is to securely connect your brokerage account. Navigate to the Settings page and find the 'Brokers' tab. Click 'Connect a Broker' and enter your API keys. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely.

Step 2: Create a Webhook

Once your broker is connected, go to the Webhooks page. Click 'Create Webhook', give it a memorable name, and select your newly connected broker. A unique URL will be generated for you. This is the URL you'll use in TradingView.

Step 3: Create a TradingView Alert

In TradingView, open the chart for the asset you want to trade. Create a new alert and in the 'Alert Actions' section, paste the webhook URL you generated in Step 2 into the 'Webhook URL' field. Configure the alert's message with the correct JSON format to specify the trade details. Here's an example:

{
    "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
    "order": "{{strategy.order.action}}",
    "contracts": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}",
    "type": "market",
    "time_in_force": "gtc"
}

Step 4: Test Your Setup

On the Signal Swap dashboard, use the 'Smart Signal Analyzer' to test your setup. Paste a sample TradingView alert JSON payload and click 'Analyze Signal'. The AI will analyze it, and if you have a webhook set up for that asset, it will simulate the trade execution process. Check your dashboard for the new trade.
