Unlock Unlimited Signal Trading Potential on OKX with TradingView

In the fast-moving world of cryptocurrency, timing is everything. Gaining a competitive edge means acting faster and smarter than the crowd. That’s where OKX signal bots come in—bridging the gap between sophisticated technical analysis on TradingView and automated execution on a high-performance exchange.

  1. Edit your script in the Pine Editor.
  2. Save and add it to your chart.
  3. Click "Alert" > Modify condition.
  4. Paste the OKX AlertMsg Specification into the Message field.
  5. Under Notifications, enable Webhook URL and paste your unique OKX webhook.

  2. Add it to the chart.
  3. Create an alert and set the condition to "Any call of alert()".
  4. Paste the OKX webhook URL into the designated field.

Both methods ensure that when your indicator triggers, a signal is sent instantly to OKX for trade execution.

💡 Pro Tip: Always test your alert logic in TradingView’s replay mode before going live.
