How To Integrate With TrendSpider

Integrating TrendSpider with the Options Auto Trader allows you to automate trades based on technical analysis and chart patterns detected in TrendSpider. By setting up this integration, you can trigger trades automatically whenever a condition is met in your TrendSpider charts. Follow the steps below to successfully integrate TrendSpider with Options Auto Trader.

Step 1: Create a TrendSpider Account

If you don’t already have a TrendSpider account, follow these steps:

1. Go to the TrendSpider website.
2. Click Start Free Trial or Sign Up to create an account.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the signup process.

Step 2: Set Up a Webhook in TrendSpider

To automate trades based on TrendSpider alerts, you’ll need to set up a webhook to trigger trades in Options Auto Trader.

1. Log into your TrendSpider account.
2. Open the chart you want to create alerts for.
3. Click the Alert button at the top right corner of the chart.
4. Set your conditions (e.g., price crosses a certain moving average, RSI reaches a certain level).
5. Scroll down to the Webhook section.
6. Enter the Webhook URL provided by Options Auto Trader. You can get this URL from your Options Auto Trader settings popup (the gear icon).
7. Set the Method to POST and choose application/json for the content type.

Step 3: Set Up Alerts in TrendSpider

Now that the webhook is connected, you need to create an alert:

1. Choose the conditions for your alert (e.g., price crossing a moving average or a particular indicator reaching a threshold).
2. Define how often the alert should trigger (e.g., once per condition or every time the condition is met).
3. Name your alert and configure notification settings as needed.
4. Click Create Alert to activate the webhook.

Step 4: Configure Options Auto Trader

1. Log into your Options Auto Trader account.
2. Navigate to the Webhook Integration section in your account settings.
3. Verify that your webhook from TrendSpider has been correctly linked and set up.
4. If needed, modify or fine-tune your automation rules to work best with the incoming data from TrendSpider.

Step 5: Test the Integration

Once everything is configured, it's a good idea to test the integration:

1. Create a temporary alert in TrendSpider with conditions that are likely to be met quickly.
2. Wait for the alert to trigger.
3. Check your Options Auto Trader dashboard to ensure that the trade was executed as expected based on the webhook.

Step 6: Monitor and Adjust

Once the integration is live, you can monitor the trades triggered by TrendSpider alerts directly from your Options Auto Trader dashboard:

1. Review the performance of the trades and adjust alert conditions in TrendSpider as needed to fine-tune your strategy.
2. Make adjustments to the webhook settings in TrendSpider or Options Auto Trader if necessary, especially if trade parameters need to be modified.

Troubleshooting

• Webhook Not Triggering: Ensure that the webhook URL and JSON payload in TrendSpider are correctly formatted. Verify that the conditions for the alert are met and that the webhook URL from Options Auto Trader is valid.
