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:

//@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)

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! 🚀
