Indicator JSON Configuration** This guide explains the **JSON Configuration for TradingView Integration** with Rithmic using PickMyTrade. By setting up properly structured JSON alerts, you can automate both indicator-based and strategy-based trades with ease. ![Example of JSON Configuration for TradingView Integration](https://docs.pickmytrade.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/json.png) ### JSON Breakdown (Indicator) ``` { "symbol": "NQM5", "date": "{{timenow}}", "data": "buy", "quantity": 10, "risk_percentage": 0, "price": "{{close}}", "tp": 0, "percentage_tp": 100, "dollar_tp": 0, "sl": 0, "dollar_sl": 0, "percentage_sl": 50, "order_type": "MKT", "update_tp": false, "update_sl": false, "token": "URe9daf2bc49008ba62dc3", "duplicate_position_allow": true, "platform": "RITHMIC", "reverse_order_close": true, "multiple_accounts": [ { "token": "URe9daf2bc49008ba62dc3", "account_id": "BG28198", "connection_name": "RITHMIC1", "risk_percentage": 0, "quantity_multiplier": 1 } ] } ``` --- ### 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** Use this JSON structure to create **strategy-based trading alerts**. It follows TradingView’s `{{strategy.market_position}}` logic to determine entry/exit conditions dynamically. JSON Breakdown (Strategy) --- ### JSON Breakdown (Strategy) ``` { "symbol": "NQM5", "date": "{{timenow}}", "data": "{{strategy.market_position}}", "quantity": "{{strategy.market_position_size}}", "risk_percentage": 0, "price": "{{close}}", "tp": 0, "percentage_tp": 100, "dollar_tp": 0, "sl": 0, "dollar_sl": 0, "percentage_sl": 50, "update_tp": false, "update_sl": false, "token": "URe9daf2bc49008ba62dc3", "duplicate_position_allow": true, "platform": "RITHMIC", "order_type": "MKT", "pyramid": false, "reverse_order_close": true, "multiple_accounts": [ { "token": "URe9daf2bc49008ba62dc3", "connection_name": "RITHMIC1", "account_id": "BG28198", "risk_percentage": 0, "quantity_multiplier": 1 } ] } ``` --- ### 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). | --- ### More Resources Want to automate trades on platforms beyond Rithmic, such as Interactive Brokers, TradeLocker, TradeStation, or ProjectX?
