Write Your Own Signal Message

1. Open Menu → Lab → Signals and open any signal (or create a new one).
2. Find the MESSAGE FORMAT section — it has two settings: DEFAULT and CUSTOM.
3. On DEFAULT you'll see an example of exactly how signals arrive on your chosen channel — if you like it, you're done; there's nothing to set up.
4. Pick CUSTOM and two boxes appear: an Entry message (sent when the strategy enters a position) and a Close message (sent when it exits).

Whatever you type is delivered exactly as written. Leave a box empty and that event simply uses the default format — you can customize entries and keep stock closes, or the other way around. Works on all four channels: Discord, Telegram, Webhook, and Push.

Write {{blank}} anywhere in your message and it's replaced with the live value when the signal fires — the same fill-in-the-blank style TradingView uses. You don't have to type them: tap the chips under each box and they drop in at your cursor.

{{symbol}} — the coin, e.g. SOL

{{side}} — LONG or SHORT

{{price}} — the signal price, as a plain number like 3412.50 (no thousands commas, so it's safe inside JSON too)

{{strategy}} — the name you gave the strategy

{{timeframe}} — e.g. 60m

{{leverage}} — e.g. 3x (blank at 1×)

{{time}} — the signal's candle time, e.g. 2026-07-07 14:00 UTC

{{exit_reason}} — why the trade closed, e.g. Take profit or Trailing stop. Close messages only — on entries it's always blank.

Two TradingView-style aliases also fill in, so a webhook template generated by a bot service (3Commas and friends) works as pasted: {{close}} — same value as {{price}}, and {{timenow}} — the signal's send time in ISO format, e.g. 2026-07-07T14:00:05Z.

A misspelled blank like {{pric}} isn't silently deleted — it stays in the message as-is, so you can spot the typo.

Fixed text. Write Bitcoin long — get in and that exact sentence arrives, nothing more. Since each signal line is tied to one strategy, a fixed message is never ambiguous.

Text with blanks. Write 📈 {{symbol}} {{side}} — entry at {{price}} and it arrives as "📈 SOL LONG — entry at 81.51".

JSON, for the Webhook channel. Bots often expect a specific shape. Write it directly:

{ "sym": "{{symbol}}", "px": {{price}}, "go": "{{side}}" }

If the finished message is valid JSON, we deliver it as application/json; anything else is delivered as plain text — the same behavior TradingView webhooks have.

Push: the first line of your message becomes the notification title, the rest becomes the body. And a tip worth the whole guide: phones preview only the first 1–2 lines of any notification — put the direction and coin first, details after. That habit pays on Discord and Telegram phone alerts too.

Discord: your text is sent as a normal Discord message, so markdown like **bold** works. Telegram: delivered as plain text. Webhook: JSON if valid, plain text otherwise, as above.

Press SEND TEST and your entry message arrives with sample values filled in. If you've written a close message, a second close sample follows — so both of your messages get checked before any real signal fires. Sample prices are stand-ins; live signals carry the real ones. On Discord, Telegram and Push the sample is clearly marked as a test.

Two limits to know: each box holds up to 1,000 characters, and blanks can only carry the values listed above — signals never include stop-loss, take-profit, or PnL figures. Switching back to DEFAULT keeps your text saved; it just stops being used until you switch again.
