1. Indicator JSON Configuration #

This JSON structure is designed for indicator-based trading alerts. It triggers a trade signal when a TradingView indicator condition is met (e.g., moving average crossover, RSI breakout, etc.).

Explanation of Keys (Indicator) #

Key	Description
`symbol`	The trading asset symbol (e.g., `NQM5` for Nasdaq futures). This must match the symbol format required by your broker or trading platform.
`date`	The timestamp of when the alert is triggered. The placeholder `{{timenow}}` dynamically inserts the current time when the alert fires.
`data`	Specifies the trade signal generated by the indicator. Examples include: – `"buy"` (enter a long position), – `"sell"` (enter a short position). This is a static value set by the indicator’s logic (e.g., a moving average crossover).
`quantity`	Defines the number of contracts or shares to trade. A fixed value like `10` indicates 10 units will be traded unless overridden by risk settings.
`risk_percentage`	Specifies the percentage of your account balance to risk on the trade. A value of `0` means the trade size is fixed (based on `quantity`) rather than calculated dynamically from risk.
`price`	The execution price of the trade. The placeholder `{{close}}` dynamically fetches the most recent closing price when the alert triggers.
`tp`	Sets a fixed Take Profit (TP) level in price terms. A value of `0` means no fixed TP is applied; TP is determined by other parameters (e.g., `percentage_tp`).
`percentage_tp`	Defines the Take Profit as a percentage of the entry price. A value of `100` means the TP is set at a 100% profit target (e.g., doubling the entry price for a long position).
`dollar_tp`	Sets the Take Profit as a fixed dollar amount. Useful for targeting a specific profit in dollar terms. A value of `0` disables this option.
`sl`	Sets a fixed Stop Loss (SL) level in price terms. A value of `0` means no fixed SL is applied; SL is determined by other parameters (e.g., `percentage_sl`).
`dollar_sl`	Defines the Stop Loss as a fixed dollar amount. Useful for capping losses at a specific dollar value. A value of `0` disables this option.
`percentage_sl`	Sets the Stop Loss as a percentage of the entry price. A value of `50` means the SL triggers at a 50% loss from the entry price.
`order_type`	Specifies the type of order to execute. `MKT` (Market Order) ensures immediate execution at the current market price.
`update_tp`	If `true`, allows the Take Profit level to be dynamically updated for open trades based on new alerts. If `false`, the TP remains fixed once set.
`update_sl`	If `true`, allows the Stop Loss level to be dynamically updated for open trades based on new alerts. If `false`, the SL remains fixed once set.
`token`	A unique identifier (e.g., `URe9daf2bc49008ba62dc3`) for authenticating your PickMyTrade account. This ensures secure communication between TradingView and your trading platform.
`duplicate_position_allow`	If `true`, permits multiple trades in the same direction to stack (e.g., adding to a long position with another buy signal). If `false`, duplicate trades are blocked.
`platform`	Specifies the trading platform, in this case `RITHMIC`, which executes the trades based on the alert.
`reverse_order_close`	If `true`, a reverse order automatically closes an existing position. For example, a `"sell"` signal will close an open long position before opening a short position.
`multiple_accounts`	Allows the alert to send orders to multiple accounts simultaneously. Each entry in this array includes: ➔ `token`: Matches the main `token` for account authentication. ➔ `account_id`: Specifies the target account (e.g., `BG28198`). ➔ `connection_name`: Identifies the specific Rithmic connection (e.g., `RITHMIC1`). ➔ `risk_percentage`: Sets the risk allocation for this account (e.g., `0` for fixed quantity). ➔ `quantity_multiplier`: Adjusts the trade size for this account (e.g., `1` means the same size as `quantity`, `2` doubles it).

2. Strategy JSON Configuration #

This JSON structure is designed for strategy-based trading alerts. It follows TradingView’s {{strategy.market_position}} logic to determine entry/exit conditions dynamically.

Explanation of Keys (Strategy) #

Key	Description
`symbol`	The trading asset symbol (e.g., `NQM5` for Nasdaq futures). This must match the symbol format used by your broker or trading platform.
`date`	The timestamp of when the alert is triggered. The placeholder `{{timenow}}` dynamically inserts the current time when the alert fires.
`data`	Specifies the trade signal using TradingView’s `{{strategy.market_position}}`. This dynamically determines the position type: – `long` (buy), – `short` (sell), – `flat` (close position or no action).
`quantity`	Defines the number of contracts or shares to trade, dynamically set by `{{strategy.market_position_size}}`. This pulls the trade size directly from the TradingView strategy’s position sizing logic.
`risk_percentage`	Specifies the percentage of your account balance to risk on the trade. A value of `0` indicates that the trade size is fixed (based on `quantity`) rather than risk-based.
`price`	The execution price of the trade. The placeholder `{{close}}` dynamically fetches the most recent closing price when the alert triggers.
`tp`	Sets a fixed Take Profit (TP) level in price terms. A value of `0` means no fixed TP is applied; TP is determined by other parameters (e.g., `percentage_tp`).
`percentage_tp`	Defines the Take Profit as a percentage of the entry price. A value of `100` means the TP is set at a 100% profit target (e.g., doubling the entry price for a long position).
`dollar_tp`	Sets the Take Profit as a fixed dollar amount. Useful for targeting a specific profit in dollar terms. A value of `0` disables this option.
`sl`	Sets a fixed Stop Loss (SL) level in price terms. A value of `0` means no fixed SL is applied; SL is determined by other parameters (e.g., `percentage_sl`).
`dollar_sl`	Defines the Stop Loss as a fixed dollar amount. Useful for capping losses at a specific dollar value. A value of `0` disables this option.
`percentage_sl`	Sets the Stop Loss as a percentage of the entry price. A value of `50` means the SL triggers at a 50% loss from the entry price.
`order_type`	Specifies the type of order to execute. `MKT` (Market Order) ensures immediate execution at the current market price.
`update_tp`	If `true`, allows the Take Profit level to be dynamically updated for open trades based on new alerts. If `false`, the TP remains fixed once set.
`update_sl`	If `true`, allows the Stop Loss level to be dynamically updated for open trades based on new alerts. If `false`, the SL remains fixed once set.
`token`	A unique identifier (e.g., `URe9daf2bc49008ba62dc3`) for authenticating your PickMyTrade account. This ensures secure communication between TradingView and your trading platform.
`duplicate_position_allow`	If `true`, permits multiple trades in the same direction to stack (e.g., adding to a long position). If `false`, duplicate trades are blocked.
`platform`	Specifies the trading platform, in this case `RITHMIC`, which executes the trades based on the alert.
`order_type`	Reiterates the order type (e.g., `MKT` for Market Order). Ensures clarity in how the trade is placed.
`pyramid`	If `true`, enables pyramiding—stacking additional positions in the same direction as the strategy generates new signals (e.g., increasing a long position). If `false`, only one position is allowed at a time.
`reverse_order_close`	If `true`, a reverse order automatically closes an existing position. For example, a `short` signal will close an open `long` position before opening the new `short` position.
`multiple_accounts`	Allows the alert to send orders to multiple accounts simultaneously. Each entry in this array includes: ➔ `token`: Matches the main `token` for account authentication. ➔ `connection_name`: Identifies the specific Rithmic connection (e.g., `RITHMIC1`). ➔ `account_id`: Specifies the target account (e.g., `BG28198`). ➔ `risk_percentage`: Sets the risk allocation for this account (e.g., `0` for fixed quantity). ➔ `quantity_multiplier`: Adjusts the trade size for this account (e.g., `1` means the same size as `quantity`, `2` doubles it).
