Introduction #

Automating TradingView strategies alerts in Rithmic allows traders to execute trades directly from Pine Script strategies without manual intervention. This guide shows how to connect TradingView strategy alerts with your Rithmic account using PickMyTrade. From symbol configuration to SL/TP settings and multi-account execution, everything is covered to ensure reliable automation.

1. Select Your Strategy on TradingView #

Choose a TradingView strategy that generates buy/sell signals automatically.

---

2. Enter Trading Symbol for Rithmic Execution #

Specify the trading symbol for the asset you wish to trade (e.g., NQM6).

2.1 Required for Specific Stop Loss Types #

Entering a symbol is mandatory if you plan to use stop-loss calculations based on Ticks or Total Loss.

2.2 Symbol Mapping for Rithmic #

If the symbol doesn’t exist or isn’t mapping correctly:
➔ Set it up first in PickMyTrade before trades can occur on that symbol.

2.3 Using Different Symbols for Alerts and Execution #

Want to send an alert from one symbol but trade another? You can!

• Example:
  ➔ You’re using NQ on your TradingView chart for the alert.
  ➔ But you want the actual trade to happen on NQMS.
  ➔ In this case, enter NQMS in the PickMyTrade symbol field.

2.4 What Happens if No Symbol is Entered? #

If you don’t enter a symbol here, PickMyTrade will simply take the trade based on the chart symbol used in your TradingView alert.

3. Confirm Exit Handling in TradingView #

Determine how exits will be handled in your strategy:

Option 1: No SL/TP (Strategy Controlled Exits) #

• Select this if your TradingView strategy fully manages entries and exits
• PickMyTrade will NOT place any Stop Loss or Take Profit orders
• All exits will be executed only when TradingView sends exit alerts

Use this when:
Your strategy already includes complete exit logic

---

Option 2: Attach SL/TP to Orders #

• Select this if your strategy does NOT handle exits
• PickMyTrade will place Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) with each entry

Features:

• Choose SL/TP type (percentage, price, Total Profit/Loss, etc.)
• Only one SL and one TP per order is supported

Use this when:
You want simple, fixed risk management handled by PickMyTrade

---

Option 3: Multiple Exits (TP1, TP2, etc.) #

• Select this if your TradingView strategy uses multiple take-profit levels
• PickMyTrade will NOT require SL/TP configuration
• All exits will be executed based on TradingView alerts

Note:
When using multiple exits, SL/TP cannot be attached to the entry order.

Use this when:
Your strategy scales out of positions (partial exits)

3.1 Multiple Exits (TP1, TP2)? #

• NO: If your strategy does not manage exits, you’ll need to configure Stop Loss (SL) and Take Profit (TP) settings manually in PickMyTrade.
