Pine Script & extras

Default for everyone (no Pine): URL + entry/exit Message. Auth stays on ?key= — no "key" in JSON.

Use this page to import helpers into your own script. Only required fields are sent by default. SL / target / trail are optional — if you don’t add them, that is fine; TradePod uses strategy Settings.

Download helpers: /pine/tradepod-webhook.pine

You write Pine Script v5 for TradePod TradingView webhooks.

## Auth (critical)
- Auth is ONLY on the TradingView Webhook URL as ?key=…
- Do NOT put "key" in the alert JSON body.
- No custom HTTP headers (TradingView cannot send them).

## JSON contract
Required on entry: action ("BUY"|"SELL"), symbol, price.
Optional on entry: sl, target, trail_sl — include ONLY when > 0. Omitting is fine; TradePod strategy Settings apply.
Exit: action "EXIT", symbol, price (separate alert from entry).
Optional: MODIFY (sl/target/trail_sl), FORCE_EXIT (flatten).
NEVER add unless the user explicitly asks: key, order_mode, qty, lots.

## trail_sl
- Unit is price points (₹), NOT percent.
- Requires sl to be present (> 0).

## alert() rules
- Build JSON with string concatenation (Pine has no JSON type).
- Strings quoted, numbers unquoted.
- Separate alert() for entry and exit.
- Prefer alert.freq_once_per_bar_close.
- Use straight ASCII quotes only.

## Helpers (prefer these)
Use tp_entry / tp_exit / tp_modify / tp_flatten from TradePod helpers.
Call examples:
  alert(tp_entry("BUY", close, 0, 0, 0), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
  alert(tp_entry("BUY", close, sl, tp, 0), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
  alert(tp_exit(close), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)

## Output
Return a complete //@version=5 script the user can paste into TradingView Pine Editor.
Include the helper functions unless the user already has them.
Explain briefly how to create the alert and paste the TradePod Webhook URL (with ?key=).

Then describe your strategy (e.g. “SMA 9/21 long only, no SL”).

Strategy examples (import these)

Open the file in TradingView → Pine Editor → Add to chart → create alert from the strategy → paste TradePod Webhook URL.

Example	What it sends	File
SMA long — entry + exit only	BUY / EXIT (no SL/TP)	tradepod-sma-entry-exit.pine
SMA long — optional SL / target / trail	Same + toggles for brackets (trail_sl in points ₹)	tradepod-sma-sl-tp.pine
SMA long + short	BUY/SELL + EXIT each side; SL/TP off by default	tradepod-sma-long-short.pine

None of these send key, order_mode, qty, or lots. Size and order type stay in TradePod Settings.

Required vs optional

	Fields	If missing
Entry required	action (BUY/SELL), symbol, price	Entry fails without these
Entry optional	sl, target, trail_sl	Omit or pass 0 → fine. trail_sl is points (₹), not % (needs sl)
Exit required	action (EXIT), symbol, price
Never needed in Pine	key, order_mode, qty, lots	Leave to Webhook URL + TradePod Settings

Do not send order_mode: AUTO or size unless you intentionally override Settings.

Helpers to paste

//@version=5
// Paste into your script. Webhook URL has ?key= — do not add "key".

tp_sym() => syminfo.ticker
tp_n(v) => str.tostring(v)

// sl / tp / trail: pass 0 to omit from JSON
tp_entry(action, px, sl, tp, trail) =>
    s = '{"action":"' + action + '","symbol":"' + tp_sym() + '","price":' + tp_n(px)
    s := sl > 0 ? s + ',"sl":' + tp_n(sl) : s
    s := tp > 0 ? s + ',"target":' + tp_n(tp) : s
    s := trail > 0 ? s + ',"trail_sl":' + tp_n(trail) : s
    s + '}'

tp_exit(px) =>
    '{"action":"EXIT","symbol":"' + tp_sym() + '","price":' + tp_n(px) + '}'

tp_modify(sl, tp, trail) =>
    s = '{"action":"MODIFY","symbol":"' + tp_sym() + '"'
    s := sl > 0 ? s + ',"sl":' + tp_n(sl) : s
    s := tp > 0 ? s + ',"target":' + tp_n(tp) : s
    s := trail > 0 ? s + ',"trail_sl":' + tp_n(trail) : s
    s + '}'

tp_flatten() => '{"action":"FORCE_EXIT"}'

Call them

// Entry only (no SL / TP) — OK
if longEntry
    alert(tp_entry("BUY", close, 0, 0, 0), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)

// Entry + SL + target (trail omitted)
if longEntry
    alert(tp_entry("BUY", close, close * 0.99, close * 1.02, 0), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)

// Exit — separate condition
if longExit
    alert(tp_exit(close), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)

Message-box JSON (same rules)

Entry only:

{
  "action": "BUY",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "price": {{close}}
}

Entry + SL + target (optional):

{
  "action": "BUY",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "price": {{close}},
  "sl": {{plot("SL")}},
  "target": {{plot("Target")}}
}

Exit:

{
  "action": "EXIT",
  "symbol": "{{ticker}}",
  "price": {{close}}
}
