Creating a Webhook

A webhook is the connection between your TradingView alerts and your Amabit trading account. Each webhook has a unique URL with a secret token and its own configuration for how signals are processed.

Step 1: Open the TradingView Signals Page

1. In the top navigation bar, hover over Agents and click Signals
2. The TradingView Signals page opens with your existing webhooks
3. Click New Signal

Step 2: Configure the Webhook

The creation dialog has the following fields:

Label

Give your webhook a descriptive name (e.g., "BTC Long Strategy", "ETH Scalper"). This helps you identify webhooks when you have multiple ones. Required field, 1–100 characters.

Signal Mode

Mode	Best for	TP/SL in Amabit
Strategy	TradingView strategies with strategy.entry() / strategy.close()	No — handled by your strategy code
Signal	Manual alerts or indicators that only signal entry direction	Yes — up to 5 TP + 5 SL + trailing stop

Order Type

Type	Description
Market	Executes immediately at the current market price. Best for most use cases
Limit	Uses the price field from the TradingView payload. May not fill if the price moves

Trade Mode (Futures accounts only)

Mode	Description
Cross Margin	Shared margin across all positions. Lower liquidation risk, but losses can affect your full balance
Isolated Margin	Separate margin for each position. Better risk isolation — only the allocated margin is at risk

Position Side (Hedge Mode futures only)

If your futures account uses Hedge Mode, you must specify which side this webhook handles:

• LONG — This webhook processes only long position signals
• SHORT — This webhook processes only short position signals

WARNING

In Hedge Mode, you need two separate webhooks — one for LONG and one for SHORT. Each gets its own URL configured in a separate TradingView alert. See Futures & Hedge Mode Signals for details.

Rate Limit

Maximum orders per minute (1–60). Protects against accidental duplicate signals.

• 10 — Recommended for most strategies
• Up to 30 — For high-frequency scalping
• 1 — For very slow strategies (e.g., daily signals)

Lot Size

How the trade quantity is determined:

Mode	Description
From Webhook	Uses the quantity value from the TradingView payload
Custom % of Balance	Uses a fixed percentage of your account balance (0.1%–100%). Ignores the quantity in the payload

Custom % of Balance is useful when:

• Your TradingView alert doesn't calculate position size
• You want consistent position sizing relative to your account
• You're using the same alert on accounts with different balances

Risk Management (Signal Mode only)

When Signal Mode is selected, additional risk management fields appear:

Take-Profit targets — Up to 5 levels. Each target has:

• Profit % — Price distance from entry (0.01%–1000%)
• Close % — Percentage of position to close at this level (1%–100%)
• Order Type — Stop-Market or Stop-Limit

Stop-Loss targets — Up to 5 levels. Same fields as TP.

Trailing Stop — Enable/disable with a callback rate (0.1%–50%)

The total Close % across all TP targets cannot exceed 100%. Same for SL targets.

Step 3: Save and Copy the URL

1. Click Create to save the webhook
2. The webhook URL is displayed — it looks like:

   https://api.amabit.io/webhooks/tradingview/a1b2c3d4...

3. Copy the URL immediately

Save your webhook URL

The URL contains a 64-character secret token that is displayed only once. It cannot be retrieved later. If you lose it, you must delete the webhook and create a new one.

After Creation

You can also open the Setup Guide at any time from the Actions menu on your webhook — it shows the webhook URL and payload templates.

1. Set up the TradingView alert — paste the webhook URL and configure the payload
2. Choose the right payload format — use the correct template for your signal mode
3. Monitor the logs — verify the first signals execute correctly

Managing Webhooks

From the Webhooks page, you can:

• Edit — Modify any setting (label, signal mode, order type, TP/SL, etc.)
• Enable/Disable — Toggle a webhook on or off without deleting it
• Delete — Permanently remove a webhook and its URL
• View Logs — See execution history, errors, and timing for each signal
