Getting Started with Signal Bot

Learn what Signal bots are, when to use them, and how to connect external alerts (TradingView/webhook) to automate entries, exits, and risk controls.

Quick Start

First Time Setup Guide - Quick Start

If this is your first time using EnterEdge Signal Bot, this quick guide will help you get started in less than 5 minutes. Just follow these three simple steps:

1

To connect an exchange: 1) Go to Dashboard 2) Click 'Connect Exchange' 3) Enter API Key and Secret 4) Select environment (Testnet/Live)
2

Add Telegram Channel

Connect your Telegram signal channel and configure basic settings

To add a channel: 1) Enter channel username or invite link 2) Select or create parser profile 3) Set default settings (USD per trade, SL/TP/Leverage)
3

After configuration: 1) Save the profile 2) (Optional) Enable Risk-Free or TP Ladder 3) Click 'Start' to activate the bot
Important Note
You can override SL/TP/Leverage per signal. If you don't set them, we apply dynamic values from the parsed signal.

What is a Signal bot?

A Signal bot is an automated bot that opens and closes trades from external signals.

  • Custom signals — sent via webhook from any external system
  • TradingView strategy — alerts generated by a Pine strategy in your own account

Unlike DCA bots that rely on indicators inside the system, Signal bots react the moment your alert fires and execute the rules you pre-configured.

When should I use a Signal bot?

  • You already know when to enter/exit based on your own strategy or third-party alerts.
  • You prefer strict, rules-based automation with minimal manual intervention.
  • You want to power bots with Pine Script strategies or external services.
Tip
DCA bots shine in choppy conditions; Signal bots are best when your strategy defines precise entries and exits.

How to create a Signal bot

  1. Open the bot launcher (e.g., "Start new bot").
  2. Choose Signal bot from the list.
  3. Continue to configuration.

Choose your Alert Type

  • Custom Signal — receive webhooks from any service. You'll use your bot's unique webhook URL and a JSON payload.
  • TradingView Strategy — connect a Pine strategy alert from TradingView.
Note
In Custom Signal mode, invalid directions are ignored (e.g., a Long-only bot ignores Short alerts).

Configure main settings

Review and adjust:

  • Bot name, exchange, and trading pair
  • Direction (Long / Short / Reversal) and leverage (for futures)
  • Max investment (per bot / per trade) and Max active trades
  • Entry/exit order preferences, Take-profit / Stop-loss
  • Optional: Reverse position, trailing stop, break-even, etc.

Add alerts from TradingView or other tools

  1. Copy your bot's webhook URL.
  2. In TradingView, create an Alert on your chart → paste the webhook URL and the JSON payload from your bot's Entry/Exit template.
  3. Send a test alert to confirm it reaches EnterEdge.
Example JSON (Custom Signal)
{
  "action": "entry",
  "side": "long",
  "pair": "BTCUSDT",
  "message_type": "signal",
  "leverage": 5,
  "take_profit": [
    {"percent": 1.0},
    {"percent": 2.0}
  ],
  "stop_loss": {
    "percent": 0.8
  }
}
Replace with your own schema if you use the TradingView Strategy type.

Start your Signal bot

When configuration looks good, click Start to activate the bot. You can also save without starting.

Common use cases
