Custom Signals
Hooking up your TradingView signals to Rift doesn't have to be complicated. Here's a step-by-step guide to importing and setting up your alerts.
Getting Started
Let’s walk through how to import your own custom signal from TradingView into Rift in just a few steps.
Here’s what you’ll need before we get started.
A TradingView Subscription (Essential Plan at minimum)
A custom Indicator script you want to import into Rift.
Steps

On the Rift App
On the Rift App, find the “Custom Signals” page. You can find this by accessing our “Signals” page and scrolling a bit to Custom Signals.
Click on the “+ Add Custom Signals” button.
Fill out your Custom Signal details and change the Applicable Token to the token your custom signal is built for.

TradingView
On your TradingView Site/App, find the currency your Custom Signal is on with your indicator that you want to import visible on the chart.
Hover over your indicator and Click on the 3 dots to the right of your indicator.
Click “Add alert on (Your Signal Name)” and you should now see the create alert menu.

Creating Alert on Trading View
Condition (Name): Since you’re creating an alert from your indicator directly, your “Condition” should be prefilled with the name of your indicator.
Condition (Action): Select whether this alert should indicate a buy/sell, short/long, entry/exit, etc. This should be defined within your custom script what action you are trying to achieve. (This is important. If you do not have an action slot it’s likely because you don’t have an action defined in your custom script. For the signal to work, you’ll need to add an action item.)
Interval: Same as chart
Trigger: ONCE PER BAR CLOSE
Expiration: Open-Ended Alert preferred but if you don’t have a premium plan just push this date as far out as you can and set a reminder to keep pushing it back every month.

Message Tab on TradingView
Alert Name: Name your Signal
Message: Paste the Signal Message given from the “Add Custom Signal” page on the Rift App
Notifications Tab on TradingView
Webhook URL: (Paste the Webhook URL from your “Add Custom Signal” page on the Rift App)
Click “Create” on TradingView and “Save” on the Rift App.
Important: There may be issues that pop up with your custom signal for a variety of reasons. Please make sure to periodically check your TradingView dashboard under “Alerts/Log” to make sure your signal is always active and hasn’t Stopped due to some TradingView error.
Note: Rift needs 3 trigger events to occur for full stats to show in Rift. You’ll see a message on your Custom Signal that says “Collecting Data” until Rift collects the necessary data.
Congrats! You’ve made your first custom signal! Now you’re ready to set up a signal activated advanced order. 🎉
