How to Start and Stop Your Trading Bot in TradersPost
TradersPost allows bots to be stopped by disabling TradingView alerts, turning off auto-submit, or disabling strategy subscriptions. The best method depends on whether you want to fully stop trading or retain manual control over trade approvals.
Stopping and starting a trading bot in TradersPost may seem straightforward, but there are actually multiple ways to manage it. The method you choose depends on whether you want to fully stop all activity or retain some level of control over trade approvals.
Stopping a Trading Bot
The easiest way to stop a trading bot is to disable the alert in TradingView. Once the alert is turned off, no new trade signals will be sent to TradersPost. This is the best option if you want to completely stop trading activity from a particular strategy.
If you prefer to keep receiving trade signals but want to manually approve or reject them, you can turn off auto-submit in the strategy subscription settings. This way, alerts will still come through, but no trades will be executed unless you manually approve them.
For a stricter approach, you can disable the strategy subscription in TradersPost. This allows signals to be recorded, but every trade will be automatically rejected without requiring manual intervention.
Managing Multiple Alerts and Strategies
Traders running multiple strategies may find it difficult to keep track of alerts, especially since TradingView does not currently allow alerts to be organized into folders. Since alerts are categorized by symbol rather than strategy, traders often forget about them until they trigger a notification.
For this reason, some traders prefer to manage strategy settings within TradersPost instead of TradingView. By disabling auto-submit or turning off a strategy subscription, they can avoid the hassle of searching for individual alerts in TradingView.
Conclusion
TradersPost offers several ways to start and stop a trading bot, each suited to different levels of control. Disabling TradingView alerts stops signals entirely, while turning off auto-submit allows for manual trade approvals. For those managing multiple strategies, handling subscriptions within TradersPost may be the easiest way to stay organized.
