Placeholders

These placeholders can be used in the alert message, and they will be replaced with dynamic values when the alert is triggered. They are the sole method for including dynamic values that can vary from bar to bar.
The placeholders need to be enclosed within double curly braces. Below are the placeholders you can use:

The unique ID of the trade.

The trade number.

The type of action can be either Entry, Exit, Stop Loss (SL) hit, Take Profit (TP) hit, hard close, or x candle close.

The type of the order can be either BUY or SELL.

The entry price of the order.

The current price

The stop loss price.

The take profit 1 price.

The take profit 2 price.

The take profit 3 price.

The stop loss in pips/points.

The take profit 1 in pips/points.

The take profit 2 in pips/points.

The take profit 3 in pips/points.

Exchange of the symbol used in the alert (NASDAQ, NYSE, MOEX, etc.). Note that for delayed symbols, the exchange will end with “_DL” or “_DLY.” For example, “NYMEX_DL.”

Returns the timeframe of the chart the alert is created on. Note that Range charts are calculated based on 1m data, so the placeholder will always return “1” on any alert created on a Range chart.

Opening price of the triggering bar.

Closing price of the triggering bar.

Highest price of the triggering bar

Lowest price of the triggering bar.

Volume of the triggering bar.

Returns the time at the beginning of the bar. Time is UTC, formatted as yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ, so for example: 2019-08-27T09:56:00Z.

Current time when the alert triggers, formatted in the same way as {{time}}. The precision is to the nearest second, regardless of the chart’s timeframe.

Examples

Here are some practical examples of how to use placeholders in your alert messages. These templates demonstrate common use cases and can be customized to fit your needs.

A simple alert for entering a trade with basic information:

Template:


              
              {{type}} - {{order_type}} at {{entry_price}} (ID: {{ID}}) No:{{No}}

Example Output:


                Entry - BUY at 50000.00 (ID: Long 123) No:96

A comprehensive alert including entry price and targets:

Template:


              
                {{order_type}} {{exchange}} at {{entry_price}} SL: {{SL}} | TP1: {{TP1}} | TP2: {{TP2}} Time: {{timenow}}

Example Output:


                BUY NASDAQ at 50000.00 SL: 100 | TP1: 150 | TP2: 300 Time: 2024-01-20T14:30:00Z

An alert showing current market conditions:

Template:


              
              {{exchange}} {{interval}} Update O: {{open}} H: {{high}} L: {{low}} C: {{close}} Volume: {{volume}}

Example Output:


                NASDAQ 5m Update O: 49800.00 H: 50100.00 L: 49750.00 C: 50000.00 Volume: 1234567
