# Automating TradingView Strategy Alerts in TradeLocker

**Last Updated:** May 10, 2026  |  **Published:** May 15, 2025

## Introduction

**This guide shows you how to start automating TradingView strategy alerts in TradeLocker using PickMyTrade.** Follow each step to ensure your strategy signals trigger real trades seamlessly in your TradeLocker account.

---

## 1. Choose a TradingView Strategy to Automate in TradeLocker

Choose a TradingView **strategy** (not just an indicator) that generates automatic buy and sell signals.

---

## 2. Configure Trading Symbol for Strategy Execution in TradeLocker

Specify the symbol of the instrument you want to trade in TradeLocker (e.g., BTCUSD).

#### 2.1 Required for Specific Stop Loss Types

This is **mandatory** if you plan to use stop-loss types like **Ticks** or **Total Profit/Loss**.

#### 2.2 Symbol Mapping

If your chosen symbol isn’t executing properly:  
➔ Make sure it’s added and mapped correctly in PickMyTrade.

#### 2.3 Using Different Symbols for Alerts and Execution

You can generate an alert from one symbol but execute the trade on another.

**Example:**

- TradingView alert uses **BTCUSD**
- TradeLocker execution uses **ETHUSD**  
➔ In PickMyTrade, enter **ETHUSD** in the symbol field.

#### 2.4 What If No Symbol is Entered?

If left blank, PickMyTrade will default to the **TradingView chart symbol** used in your alert.

## 3. Managing Exit Rules in Automated TradingView Strategies

Determine how exits will be handled in your strategy:

### Option 1: No SL/TP (Strategy Controlled Exits) {#3-toc-title}

- 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 {#4-toc-title}

- 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.) {#5-toc-title}

- 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)

---

## 4. Assign TradeLocker Accounts for TradingView Strategy Execution

### 4.1 Add TradeLocker Account in Current PickMyTrade Account

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/image-57.avif)

| Field Name | Example Input | Explanation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PickMyTrade Conn. Name | TRADELOCKER1 | Choose the correct TradeLocker connection name from your PickMyTrade list. |
| TRADELOCKER Acc. Name | TL001928 | Select the TradeLocker account you want to trade from. |
| Option | QUANTITY MULTIPLIER / RISK PERCENTAGE | Choose how to size your trades. |
| QUANTITY MULTIPLIER | 1 (if selected) | A multiplier of 2 will double your trade size (e.g., 5 → 10 contracts). |
| RISK PERCENTAGE | 2% (if selected) | Calculates position size so each trade risks 2% of your account capital. |

Ensure all dropdown selections match existing TradeLocker connections and accounts.

---

### 4.2 Add TradeLocker Account in Another PickMyTrade Account

This setup is for cases where you want to trade in an account linked to **a different PickMyTrade login**.

![](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/image-56.avif)

| Field Name | Example Input | Explanation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PickMyTrade Token | abcd1234xyz | Token from the target PickMyTrade account you want to push trades to. |
| PickMyTrade Conn. Name | TRADELOCKER1 | Must match the TradeLocker connection name in that target account. |
| TRADELOCKER Acc. Name | TL002091 | Must exactly match the TradeLocker account name in the platform. |
| Option | QUANTITY MULTIPLIER / RISK PERCENTAGE | Same sizing logic as above. |
| QUANTITY MULTIPLIER | 1 | Multiplies trade size accordingly. |
| RISK PERCENTAGE | 2% | Calculates size based on percentage of capital. |

Ensure the **token is accurate** and the target account has the TradeLocker connection set up, or trades will not execute.

---

4.3 Generate Alert Code for Strategy Execution

Once all accounts are added and configured, click **Confirm & Generate Alert** button.
