Creating a webhook URL for your stock broker or cryptocurrency exchange accounts connected with SignalStack allows you to receive alerts from Signal Sources. These alerts are then converted into executed orders in your connected brokerage or exchange account.
This guide walks you through the steps to create webhooks efficiently.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Webhooks
Step 1: Access Your SignalStack Account
- Sign in to your SignalStack account.
- Click on "Brokers & Webhooks" from the left-hand menu.
Step 2: Select Your Broker or Exchange
- From the list of connected brokers, locate the desired account.
- Click the "Create Webhook" button next to the account.
Step 3: Generate & Use the Webhook URL
- A unique webhook address will be generated for your account.
- Paste this URL into your Signal Source (e.g., TradingView or TrendSpider) when configuring alerts or trading bots.
- Customize the webhook message (payload) to define the actions SignalStack should execute (e.g., market/limit orders).
Example Payload (Editable Template):
{
"action": "buy",
"symbol": "BTCUSD",
"quantity": 0.5,
"order_type": "market"
}💡 Tip: You can create multiple webhooks for a single broker/exchange account.
