# CRITICAL: 1-Minute Alert Webhook Fix

**Date:** November 27, 2025  
**Issue:** 1-minute data alerts triggering actual trade executions  
**Severity:** HIGH - Caused unintended real money trades

---

## Problem

The 1-minute market data alerts were configured with the **wrong webhook URL**, causing them to trigger the **Money Machine trading workflow** instead of just collecting data.

### Root Cause

- **Incorrect webhook:** `https://flow.egonetix.de/webhook/tradingview-bot-v4`
- **This webhook triggers:** Money Machine workflow (executes real trades)
- **Should trigger:** Market data collection workflow (data only, no trades)

### Impact

- 1-minute alerts fired every 60 seconds
- Each alert triggered Money Machine workflow
- Trading signals executed (SOL/ETH/BTC positions opened)
- **This was NOT the intended behavior** - should only collect market data

---

## Solution: Create Dedicated Market Data Webhook

### Option 1: Use n8n API to Create New Webhook (RECOMMENDED)

You need to create a **separate n8n workflow** with its own webhook path for market data collection.

**Steps:**

1. **Import the market_data_handler.json workflow to n8n:**
   ```bash
   # The workflow file is ready at:
   /home/icke/traderv4/workflows/trading/market_data_handler.json
   ```

2. **In n8n UI:**
   - Go to Workflows → Import from File
   - Select `market_data_handler.json`
   - **Activate the workflow**

3. **Get the webhook URL:**
   - Open the imported workflow
   - Click the "Webhook" node
   - Copy the **Test URL** (will look like: `https://flow.egonetix.de/webhook/UNIQUE_ID`)
   - This is your market data webhook URL

4. **Update TradingView alerts:**
   - Edit SOL-PERP 1min Data Feed alert
   - Change webhook from `tradingview-bot-v4` to the new URL
   - Repeat for ETH-PERP and BTC-PERP alerts

### Option 2: Manual n8n Workflow Configuration

If importing doesn't work, create workflow manually:

1. **Create new workflow** in n8n: "Market Data Collection - 1min"

2. **Add Webhook node:**
   - HTTP Method: POST
   - Path: `market-data-1min` (custom unique path)
   - Get the full webhook URL from n8n

3. **Add IF node: "Is 1min Data?"**
   - Condition: `{{ $json.body.action }}` equals `market_data_1min`

4. **Add HTTP Request node: "Forward to Bot"**
   - Method: POST
   - URL: `http://trading-bot-v4:3000/api/trading/market-data`
   - Send Body: JSON
   - JSON Body: `{{ $json.body }}`

5. **Connect nodes:** Webhook → IF → HTTP Request

6. **Activate workflow**

7. **Copy webhook URL** from Webhook node

## Correct Webhook URLs

### Trading Execution (Money Machine)
```
https://flow.egonetix.de/webhook/tradingview-bot-v4
```
**Purpose:** Execute real trades (5min/15min signals)  
**Used by:** Money Machine workflow  
**Action:** Opens positions on Drift Protocol

### Market Data Collection (NEW - Needed)
```
https://flow.egonetix.de/webhook/UNIQUE_ID_HERE
```
**Purpose:** Collect 1-minute market data only  
**Used by:** Market Data Handler workflow  
**Action:** Updates cache, NO trades executed

---

## TradingView Alert Configuration (CORRECTED)

### Alert Settings Tab
- **Condition:** "Money Line - 1min Data Feed" > "Any alert() function call"
- **Interval:** 1m
- **Expiration:** Open-ended

### Alert Message Tab
- **Alert name:** `SOL-PERP 1min Data Feed`
- **Message:** Leave blank (indicator sends JSON)
- **Webhook URL:** `https://flow.egonetix.de/webhook/NEW_MARKET_DATA_URL` ← **NOT tradingview-bot-v4!**
- ✅ Check "Webhook URL"

---

## Verification After Fix

### 1. Check n8n Workflow Execution Count

```bash
# Market Data Handler should show 180 executions/hour (3 symbols × 60/hour)
# Money Machine should show 0 executions from 1-minute alerts
```

### 2. Monitor Bot Logs

```bash
docker logs trading-bot-v4 -f | grep "Market data updated"

# Should see: "✅ Market data updated for SOL-PERP: ADX 26.5..."
# Should NOT see: "🎯 POSITION OPENED" from 1-minute alerts
```

### 3. Check Open Positions

```bash
# Should see only legitimate trading signals (5min/15min charts)
# NOT 1-minute candle opens
```

### 4. Verify Cache Updates

```bash
curl -s http://localhost:3001/api/trading/market-data | jq '.["SOL-PERP"]'

# Expected: Fresh data (<60s old), adx/atr/rsi values populated
```

---

## Prevention

**Before creating ANY new TradingView alert:**

1. ✅ Verify which webhook URL to use
2. ✅ Data collection = Market data webhook (NEW)
3. ✅ Trading signals = Money Machine webhook (tradingview-bot-v4)
4. ✅ Test with 1-2 alerts first before creating all 3 symbols

**Rule:** Different purposes = different webhooks!

---

## Next Steps

1. **IMMEDIATE:** Delete or pause the 3 incorrectly configured 1-minute alerts in TradingView
2. **Import/Create** market data handler workflow in n8n (get unique webhook URL)
3. **Recreate alerts** with correct webhook URL
4. **Test** for 5-10 minutes (should see cache updates, NO trades)
5. **Validate** for 24 hours before considering it production-ready

## Files Affected

- `/home/icke/traderv4/docs/1MIN_ALERTS_SETUP.md` - Needs webhook URL correction
- `/home/icke/traderv4/workflows/trading/market_data_handler.json` - Import this to n8n
- TradingView alerts: SOL-PERP, ETH-PERP, BTC-PERP 1min Data Feed (need recreation)

---

## Lesson Learned

**Always verify webhook routing before deploying alerts that fire every minute.**

With 180 alerts/hour, a misconfigured webhook can:
- Execute 180 unintended trades/hour
- Drain capital rapidly
- Create massive position exposure
- Trigger rate limits

**Test with 1 alert first, verify behavior, then scale to all symbols.**
