Strategy Mode vs Signal Mode

When creating a webhook on Amabit, you choose between two modes. Each is designed for a different TradingView use case.

Strategy Mode

Best for: TradingView strategies (Pine Script strategies with strategy.entry() and strategy.close() calls)

In Strategy Mode:

• TradingView's strategy engine manages entries, exits, and position sizing
• The webhook passes signals through directly — Amabit executes exactly what TradingView sends
• No TP/SL configuration in Amabit — all risk management is handled in the strategy code
• Quick and simple setup

Use Strategy Mode when:

• You have a fully automated TradingView strategy
• The strategy already handles entries, exits, and stop-losses
• You want minimal configuration in Amabit

Signal Mode

Best for: Manual TradingView alerts or simple indicators that only signal entry direction

In Signal Mode:

• TradingView sends basic buy/sell signals
• Amabit adds risk management on top:
  • Up to 5 Take-Profit targets with partial closes
  • Up to 5 Stop-Loss targets with partial closes
  • Trailing stop with configurable callback rate
• Full control over risk management in Amabit's webhook settings

Use Signal Mode when:

• Your alert doesn't manage exits (only entry signals)
• You want to add TP/SL and trailing stop in Amabit
• You want partial close at multiple price levels

Can I Switch Between Modes?

Yes. You can edit an existing webhook and change its mode at any time. Remember to update your TradingView alert payload to match the new mode.
