Certain strategies and indicators are developed by creators who prefer to keep their source codes private. This often poses challenges when attempting to automate these strategies within the Signal Bot. However, some developers address this by including dedicated fields that allow traders to input custom alert strings, providing a degree of flexibility for automation.

Step 1

You will need to check whether your indicator/strategy has a specific Condition field for different type of signals.
1) Click on Create Alert.

2) Select your indicator/strategy in the Condition field.

3) Check if the additional field with buy/sell signals has appeared.

4) If it is presented, then just add Webhook in Notifications and enter Signal bot alerts in to the Message field in Alert Settings.

5) Repeat the process for each alert message.

Step 2

If indicator/strategy does not have additional Condition field for buy and sell signals, then you will need to check additional settings

1) Open Settings of your indicator/strategy.

2) Look up for fields to insert Long and Short comments.

3) Copy alerts from your Signal bot

and paste them in these fields.

4) Create an alert and insert "{{strategy.order.comment}}" in the Message field.

Step 3

If your strategy or indicator lacks these features, the only option is to reach out to the script owner. The owner can modify the script to include the necessary conditions, allowing you to utilize the methods mentioned above.
