Create orders from TradingView with the TensorTrader Chrome extension

Key takeaways

1. 1The extension builds and manages alerts; TensorTrader’s servers execute orders when alerts fire.

What the extension does

The TensorTrader extension for Chrome and Edge lives in the browser side panel next to TradingView. It does three jobs: builds TradingView alerts in bulk (Batch Create), manages them (Alerts), and enrolls tuned strategy cells (TT-Autotune). It never places orders itself. Orders are placed by TensorTrader's servers when your alerts fire, on your own exchange keys.

Setup

1. 1Create a TensorTrader account and connect at least one exchange under Settings, Exchange Auth. New keys start on testnet.
2. 2Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store and pin it.
3. 3Sign in to TensorTrader in a browser tab so the extension can connect to your account.
4. 4Open a TradingView chart, signed in to TradingView, and open the side panel.
5. 5Check the connection bar: TensorTrader and TradingView sessions should both be linked.

Your first batch

1. 1Batch Create, step 1 · Exchanges: select the testnet key.
2. 2Step 2 · Tokens: type BTC and ETH, one per line.
3. 3Step 3 · Signal source: press Load favorites and pick an indicator or strategy.
4. 4Leave DCA on with a single timeframe for the first run, and a low static leverage.
5. 5Review the plan roster: symbol, exchange and key, timeframe, action, leverage and margin per alert.
6. 6Confirm the trading-enable prompt and press Create N alerts.

From alert to fill

1. TradingView

The alert condition is met on bar close and TradingView sends the webhook

2. Validate

TensorTrader checks the secret, the allowed fields and the symbol

3. Size

Margin and leverage come from the alert and your policy, clamped to the venue maximum

4. Execute

The order is placed on your key; fills are read back from the exchange

5. Protect

Stop-loss and take-profit orders are placed; capital protection keeps watching

6. Book

On close, profit and fees are booked from the exchange’s own fills

If nothing happens

1. 1Check the alert is active in the Alerts tab and has not stopped.
2. 2Check trading is enabled for your account and the key shows a green status.
3. 3Check the signal queue on the dashboard: a received but not executed signal shows why.
4. 4Check the symbol is listed on that venue; unlisted symbols are rejected, not guessed.

Safety defaults

Every new key starts on paper or testnet. Live trading is a separate opt-in after a credential preflight, and a stored key never implies permission to trade live. Leverage is always the lower of your policy and the venue maximum, and ambiguous confirmations stop the order path instead of guessing.

Reading the plan roster

Before anything is created, the roster shows "Planned" and "Requested" counts, badges for anything truncated to quota or skipped, and one row per alert: symbol, exchange and key, timeframe, action, leverage, margin and the maximum leverage the venue allows next to TensorTrader's cap. If the run button is disabled, the panel says why, in order: no exchange, no tokens, no signal source, unaligned variables, invalid JSON, no webhook secret, or nothing left to create. Fix the first message and the next one appears.

After the batch

The progress line reports done, total, created, already existed and failed. Alerts that already existed are skipped; delete them first if you want new settings. Then switch to the Alerts tab to see the set, and to the dashboard to watch the first signals arrive.
