Want to automate your crypto trades on Delta Exchange using TradingView alerts? You’re in the right place! By setting up webhooks, you can execute trades automatically based on your favorite technical indicators—no manual intervention needed.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get everything up and running.
Step 1: Get Your Delta Exchange API Key
First, you’ll need an API key to connect Delta Exchange with your automation setup.
- Log in to your Delta Exchange account.
- Head over to API Management in your account settings.
- Click Create API Key and enable permissions for trading (avoid enabling withdrawal permissions for security reasons).
- Copy and save your API key and secret—you won’t be able to see the secret again, so store it securely.
Step 2: Set Up a Webhook Receiver (Your Trading Bot)
TradingView can send alerts, but it doesn’t execute trades directly. That’s where a webhook receiver comes in—it listens for alerts and sends trade orders to Delta Exchange.
Option 1: Use a No-Code Automation Tool (Easy & Quick)
If you’re not into coding, services like Zapier or AutoView can help:
- Sign up for an automation tool that supports webhooks.
- Create a webhook URL to receive TradingView alerts.
- Configure it to send trade orders to Delta Exchange when an alert is triggered.
Option 2: Build Your Own Webhook Receiver (For Developers)
If you prefer more control, you can build a simple Python script to receive alerts and place trades automatically. Here’s a basic example using Flask:
from flask import Flask, request import requests app = Flask(__name__) DELTA_API_KEY = "your_api_key" DELTA_SECRET = "your_secret" def place_order(symbol, side, quantity): url = "https://api.delta.exchange/v2/orders" headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {DELTA_API_KEY}"} payload = { "product_id": symbol, "side": side, "size": quantity, "order_type": "market" } response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=payload) return response.json() @app.route('/webhook', methods=['POST']) def webhook(): data = request.json symbol = data.get("symbol") side = data.get("side") quantity = data.get("quantity") if symbol and side and quantity: order_response = place_order(symbol, side, quantity) return {"status": "success", "order": order_response}, 200 return {"error": "Invalid data"}, 400 if __name__ == "__main__": app.run(port=5000)
What does this do?
- It listens for TradingView alerts.
- When an alert is received, it sends an API request to Delta Exchange to place an order.
Next step: Deploy this script on a server (AWS, DigitalOcean, or even locally with ngrok).
Step 3: Create Alerts in TradingView
Now, let’s set up TradingView alerts to trigger trades:
-
Open TradingView and set up a trading strategy.
-
Click the Alert button (clock icon).
-
Select a condition (e.g., a moving average crossover).
-
Choose Webhook URL as the alert action.
-
Enter your webhook URL (e.g.,
https://yourserver.com/webhook). -
Use a simple JSON format for the alert message:
-
Click Create to activate the alert.
Step 4: Test & Optimize
Before going live with real money, always test your setup:
- Send a test alert from TradingView.
- Check if the trade is executed on Delta Exchange.
- Monitor logs for errors and make adjustments if needed.
Bonus: Secure Your Webhook!
To prevent unauthorized trades, take these precautions:
- Add an authentication token in your TradingView webhook payload.
- Whitelist TradingView’s IPs to ensure only their alerts are accepted.
- Use SSL encryption (HTTPS) to protect your webhook.
