SignalStack can capture incoming alerts from TrendSpider and automatically convert them into executed orders in the connected brokerage or cryptocurrency exchange account. In this documentation, we will explore steps to bridge TrendSpider and SignalStack for automated order execution.
Step 1: Begin by logging into your Signal Stack account. Connect your brokerage account, then copy the provided webhook URL. You’ll need this webhook to integrate with your TrendSpider Trading Bot. Refer to the screenshot below for guidance.
TrendSpider allows you to create a strategy and launch a trading bot with zero coding knowledge. SignalStack can capture the incoming signals generated by TrendSpider Bot and convert them into executed orders in the connected brokerage or cryptocurrency exchange account automatically. SignalStack is a separate subscription from TrendSpider. To learn about pricing options, please click here. Once you are logged into your TrendSpider account, press the three dots next to Alerts&Bots along the top bar and select 'Create a trading bot'.
Once the bot is created, configure TrendSpider Bot with the copied webhook address so that the entry or exit trade signals it generates, can be captured by SignalStack.
Step 2: Sign in to your TrendSpider account and configure your trading bot by entering the relevant values in the following fields:
| Fields | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Bot Name | Provide a name for your trading bot. |
| Strategy | Select a bot backtesting strategy from the dropdown. |
| Time Frame | Select the time frame for which you want the trading bot to check the criteria. |
| Notification Method | Select Webhook to send HTTP POST requests to the webhook you provide. |
| Entry Webhook URL | Paste the webhook URL generated by SignalStack from Step 1, with respect to the broker or exchange. |
| Exit Webhook URL | Paste the webhook URL generated by SignalStack from Step 1, with respect to the broker or exchange. |
| Entry Webhook Body | The entry webhook contains information that is sent when a particular event, such as a trade or alert, commences. This information may include instructions, like a signal to initiate a trade by buying. Webhook payload example:{"symbol": "AAPL", "action": "buy","quantity": 1} |
| Exit Webhook Body | When the action started by the entry webhook is done the exit webhook provides the details of selling or closing the trade. Webhook payload example:{"symbol": "AAPL","action": "sell","quantity": 1} |
| Control Notifications | Select a control notification type from the drop-down. |
Step 2: Click on the "Create Bot" button to complete setting up the trading bot and automate the order execution.
For detailed guidance on building TrendSpider bots, please refer to our Trading Bots documentation. To learn how to construct valid JSON parameters for sending orders to your broker via webhook, visit Signal Stack’s Documentation (JSON) Builder. Keep in mind that each broker may have different requirements for the JSON payload, so be sure to follow their specific guidelines. You can see these guidelines on this page below the 'Playground' section.
As soon as the TrendSpider Bot identifies the entry or exit trade signals, the notifications are sent to SignalStack via the Webhook connection configured. SignalStack will automatically convert the signals into executed orders in your connected brokerage or cryptocurrency exchange account.
