TradingView Webhook Mismatch Evidence Checklist

The timestamps, alert settings, payloads and downstream logs needed to find where a TradingView signal and an automated trade first diverged.

The checklist

  1. 1

    Choose one incident

    Use one missing, late, duplicated or unexpected trade instead of mixing several unrelated failures.

  2. 2

    Freeze the time basis

    Record chart timezone, exchange timezone, receiver timezone and the exact timestamp format used by every log.

  3. 3

    Capture the chart state

    Record symbol, timeframe, bar open and close times, relevant inputs and whether the signal used a forming or confirmed bar.

  4. 4

    Preserve the Pine source

    Provide the authorized editable version that was running when the incident occurred, including imported-library versions.

  5. 5

    Export alert settings

    Capture the alert condition, frequency, expiration, message template and whether the alert was created before or after a script change.

  6. 6

    Redact the payload

    Keep field names and non-secret values, but remove webhook URLs, tokens, API keys, account IDs and credentials.

  7. 7

    Collect receiver evidence

    Preserve request timestamp, HTTP status, parsed fields, validation result and queue or retry events around the incident.

  8. 8

    Collect execution evidence

    Include the broker or exchange request, response code, fill data and nearby error lines for the same time window.

  9. 9

    State the expected result

    Write the exact order, side, quantity, price rule and timing that should have followed from the signal.

  10. 10

    Define completion

    Agree whether the diagnostic ends at a proven divergence point, a reproducible case or a separately quoted repair.

Common questions

Do you need access to my broker or exchange account?

No. A safe diagnostic uses redacted source, configuration and logs. Credentials, API secrets and remote account access are not requested.

Does a chart marker prove that a webhook was sent?

No. The chart calculation, alert engine, HTTP delivery, receiver parsing and broker execution are separate stages and require separate evidence.

Can historical chart behavior reproduce a realtime alert exactly?

Not always. Intrabar values, higher-timeframe requests, alert snapshots and data-feed differences can make realtime and reloaded history differ. The timing model must be documented first.

Trading risk disclosure

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one's financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading, and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance disclosure

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. There are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. Hypothetical results are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight, do not involve financial risk, and cannot completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. Market conditions, the ability to withstand losses, and adherence to a trading program can all materially affect actual results.
