Is There a Limit on the Number of Webhook Signals in TradersPost?

‍Understanding Webhook Signal Limits

TradersPost rate-limits webhook signals to 60 requests per minute and 500 requests per hour¹. However, there are acceptable use limits to prevent excessive requests that could strain the system.

If a strategy sends an unusually high volume of signals—such as thousands of requests per minute—TradersPost may flag the activity and reach out to the user to understand what they are trying to accomplish.

TradersPost Is Not Designed for High-Frequency Trading

Some traders attempt to send signals at extremely high speeds, believing this will allow them to engage in high-frequency trading (HFT). However, TradersPost is not an HFT platform, nor is TradingView designed for such strategies.

Professional HFT firms operate with direct exchange connections, executing trades in under seven milliseconds. By contrast, a webhook-based strategy using TradingView and TradersPost operates on a timeframe of about two seconds, making true HFT impossible for retail traders.

How Many Signals Can You Send?

Within normal usage limits, traders can:

• Execute unlimited trades per month across multiple tickers.

• Run large portfolios under a single strategy, trading hundreds or even thousands of symbols.

• Avoid limits by keeping signals below 60 requests per minute and 500 requests per hour¹.

Conclusion

While TradersPost limits webhook signals to 60 requests per minute and 500 requests per hour, it monitors for excessive signal bursts that could impact platform stability¹. Traders looking to execute high-frequency trades should understand that retail platforms like TradingView and TradersPost operate on a much slower timeframe than professional HFT systems.
