~~Title: Syntax Setup ~~
{{tag>guides}}
==== How to setup an alert in ProfitView & TradingView ====
\\
For your indicators and custom strategies on **TradingView** to be able to place and cancel orders, check or close positions etc. on an exchange through **ProfitView**, you have to create an alert on **TradingView** (Alt+A) and put  either the name of a script you defined in the **ProfitView** options window under ''Setup: PV Alerts'' or some of the commands listed under ''Setup: Commands'' directly into its ''Message'' section!

Whenever **TradingView** then triggers one of those alerts, **ProfitView** will intercept**¹** it and look up each line of the message (= the TV alerts ''Message'' section) as the name of a **PV Alert** to be triggered (and optionally filtered according to its filter options) — if a matching **PV Alert** cannot be found the commands in the message are executed directly, which is referred to as a **legacy alert** by **ProfitView**!

**¹** This is done by directly listening to **TradingViews** event stream and also intercepting events in any open **TradingView** tabs as a backup; you have to log in to your **TradingView** account at least once while **ProfitView** is installed for it to get the necessary credentials!
