# TradingView Alert - EASIEST METHOD

Since you don't have "time()" in the condition dropdown, we'll use a **Pine Script indicator** instead. This is actually easier!

---

## STEP 1: Add the Pine Script Indicator

1. **On your SOLUSDT 5-minute chart**, click the **Pine Editor** button at bottom
   - Or go to: Pine Editor tab at the bottom of the screen

2. **Delete everything** in the editor

3. **Copy and paste** this entire script:

```pinescript
//@version=5
indicator("Market Data Alert", overlay=false)

// Calculate metrics
atr_value = ta.atr(14)
adx_value = ta.dmi(14, 14)
rsi_value = ta.rsi(close, 14)
volume_ratio = volume / ta.sma(volume, 20)
price_position = (close - ta.lowest(low, 100)) / (ta.highest(high, 100) - ta.lowest(low, 100)) * 100

// Plot something so indicator appears
plot(1, "Signal", color=color.green)

// Alert condition
alertcondition(true, title="Market Data", message='{"action":"market_data","symbol":"{{ticker}}","timeframe":"{{interval}}","atr":' + str.tostring(atr_value) + ',"adx":' + str.tostring(adx_value) + ',"rsi":' + str.tostring(rsi_value) + ',"volumeRatio":' + str.tostring(volume_ratio) + ',"pricePosition":' + str.tostring(price_position) + ',"currentPrice":' + str.tostring(close) + '}')
```

4. **Click "Save"** button
   - Name it: `Market Data Alert`

5. **Click "Add to Chart"** button

You should now see a new indicator panel at the bottom of your chart.

---

## STEP 2: Create the Alert (NOW IT'S EASY!)

1. **Right-click** on the indicator name in the legend (where it says "Market Data Alert")

2. **Select "Add Alert on Market Data Alert"**

OR

1. **Click the Alert icon** 🔔 (or press ALT + A)

2. **In the Condition dropdown**, you should now see:
   - **"Market Data Alert"** → Select this
   - Then select: **"Market Data"** (the alert condition name)

3. **Settings section:**

| Setting | Value |
|---------|-------|
| **Webhook URL** | `http://10.0.0.48:3001/api/trading/market-data` |
| **Alert name** | `Market Data - SOL 5min` |
| **Frequency** | **Once Per Bar Close** |
| **Expiration** | Never |

4. **Notifications:**
   - ✅ **Webhook URL** (ONLY this one checked)
   - ❌ Uncheck everything else

5. **Alert message:**
   - **Leave it as default** (the script handles the message)
   - OR if there's a message field, it should already have the JSON

6. **Click "Create"**

## STEP 3: Repeat for ETH and BTC

1. **Open ETHUSDT 5-minute chart**
2. **Add the same indicator** (Pine Editor → paste script → Save → Add to Chart)
3. **Create alert** on the indicator
4. **Webhook URL:** `http://10.0.0.48:3001/api/trading/market-data`
5. **Name:** `Market Data - ETH 5min`

Repeat for **BTCUSDT**.

## ✅ VERIFY (Wait 5 Minutes)

```bash
curl http://localhost:3001/api/trading/market-data
```

Should show all 3 symbols with fresh data.

## 🎯 Why This Method is Better

- ✅ **Works on all TradingView plans** (that support indicators)
- ✅ **Easier to set up** (no complex condition configuration)
- ✅ **Message is built-in** (less copy-paste errors)
- ✅ **Visual feedback** (shows metrics on chart)
- ✅ **Reusable** (same indicator for all symbols)

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

**"Pine Editor not available"**
- You need TradingView Pro/Premium for custom scripts
- Alternative: Use the "Crossing" method below

**Alternative without Pine Script:**
1. **Condition:** Price
2. **Trigger:** Crossing up
3. **Value:** Any value
4. **Check:** "Only once per bar close"
5. **Message:** Use the JSON from `QUICK_SETUP_CARD.md`

This will fire less frequently but still works.

**Try the Pine Script method first - it's the cleanest solution!** 🚀
