How do custom TradingView signals work?

You connect your bot to one or more TradingView indicators of your choice, and the bot will automatically receive alerts and open trades accordingly.

TradingView includes many tools which can be used as a base for the signals. The signals themselves can be one-time or repetitive (“everytime”).

An example of a one-time signal use would be opening a trade at a breakout/retest of the resistance level.


Example

The chart below displays the BNBUSDT trading pair on Binance and the formed flat triangle is indicating an upcoming breakout. Entering at a breakout is typically not the best strategy whereas buying at a retest is the “choice of champions”. To buy at a retest, we use the "down-crossing" condition on TradingView and wait for a retest of the blue resistance line, which turns into support upon breakout.

Repeating signals can be used to increase a position at a dynamic support level when the asset price's value changes over time.

For example, in the chart below you can see the formation of a triangle and you can choose to add to your position each time a candle touches the white resistance line. This approach enables you to set a tight stop-loss, optimize gains, and minimize potential losses.

After setting everything up, your 3Commas bot will begin receiving signals from TradingView, and with proper execution, positive outcomes will ensue.
