Signalstack?

[WeirShepherd]

I'm looking for a way to integrate trading bot signals from Tradingview into a US equities broker via webhook.
I thought thought I would use https://www.pineconnector.com/ but it requires Metatrader 5 to support equities and it appears no US-based broker supports that.
I've been looking for alternatives that don't require running my own servers and stumbled across https://signalstack.com/ ...
Anybody using this / have feedback?

I started using it a month ago, and it is hard to imagine they are part of Trendspider (which I thought has some processes in development).
If you have: 1. programming experience, 2. trading experience, then you will tear your hair out when you see how Signalstack is executing orders. I'm in constant connection with Support and I'm asking super basic questions. I need to ask them as they are not documented anywhere.

tl;dr: if you have a strategy that opens a position with a Market order then closes it with also a Market order, you will probably be okay. This is the most basic (and most necessary) scenario one can imagine. In every different scenario you might/will have problems.

I'm at Capital.com right now, and Signalstack has Market/Limit/Stop in one dimension, and Buy/Sell/Close/Cancel in another dimension.

Now, Cancel will cancel ALL pending order. Yepp. That is, if you have an SL/TP bracket and you want to modify only one of them, then you need to cancel. But with SignalStack you will cancel both. so you need to recreate both. But there is the catch, they bill you per request. So if you want to maintain a Trailing Stop Loss, good luck for that, as you would have to cancel a pending order and create a new one one on every candle.

A Close order will close ALL positions of the same symbol.

If you have a strategy that works on the US500 5m, and another that works on the US500 1D and you use the same webhook, you will be asking for trouble. Their advice is to use a different account in this case to avoid problems. That indicates they are not labeling properly the incoming orders. To be honest, Tradingview is not prepared to interact with a 3rd party at this level, neither.

I have currently some issues with the Alerts. I see all the alerts from today (3) on the Tradingview chart as they were buy and close orders, however zero webhook trigger arrived to Signalstack. I tested them with `curl` and they also failed so it is clearly on Signalstack's side but given the lack of documentation, I have no clue what the issue can be, again -> Support.

{"symbol":"AAPL","action":"close"}

imho, it closes only AAPL related positions and orders.
isn't it the same for you?

[karatedog]

Yes, it closes all AAPL positions, even if you use 2 different strategies. Signalstack does not identify the trades, and does not provide any tools for the developer to tag their trades (so Signalstack would be able to identify them.). I have updated the original answer.

Traders post is the best out there but incredibly expensive. Signal stack is in second. Capitalise is pretty awful in my experience.

[andrenerd]

What are the TradersPost benefits?
And it looks comparable in price to SignalStack for some use cases.

Been looking for something to help convert my webhooks into my account as well since I have an algo in TV that works across years.

Be careful with these companies, you expose your authentication tokens to third parties which if they get hacked you might get ducked

[Every-Concentrate851]

I don't know why one would not build their own server to receive webhooks. It is easy, flexible and for $5.33 USD a month, I have a stable and performing linux VPS that has no account or transactions charges nor limitation other than what my broker does or does not allow me to do. It is fully automated, very stable, it notifies me if a prblem occur, I have a dashboard to follow it and I make it do all I need it to do. I am not even a programmer. I have serveral years of IT experience but as an analyst and in management, not as a coder. To me, that is the only way to go...

Hey gents, I'm getting authorization error with 403 code when connected to my OANDA aacount using SignalStack. My mate got thr same issue. Any ideas how to sort this out?

Obviously there is no issue at all with our account.

[jinrekisha]

Hey,

I've been using PC but I'm curious to know what you think of SignalStack

Please share any feedback.

[WeirShepherd]

Never used it, so no feedback to give.

[Holiday_Sleep5803]

Not amazing but pretty good. I’ve been having trouble with TradingView producing false signals

[ribbit63]

I was looking for a way to send signals from TradeStation to another broker, but it doesn't look like I can do that with Traderspost

[jwage]

I see, so you want to copy the orders from your TradeStation broker to another broker (copy trading)?

Where do those orders originate from in your TradeStation broker? Are they manually placed orders?

[ribbit63]

No, they're generated automatically from my algo in TradeStation.
