Migrating from another bridge
15PineConnector-format message (parsed natively)
LICENSEID,buy,EURUSD,risk=1Coming from PineConnector? Your existing comma-syntax alerts work as-is — point them at your SignalForge webhook URL and keep trading. The migration guide covers the 5-minute switch.
Two rules that prevent 90% of payload bugs: numbers unquoted, strings quoted ("lot":0.01, never "lot":"0.01" unless the docs say so); and validate in the webhook tester before going live — especially anything concatenated in Pine. Prefer building visually? The JSON Builder in your dashboard generates and validates these payloads with a form.
FAQ
Where do I paste these?
In the Message box of the TradingView alert dialog. The webhook URL (from your dashboard's Setup section) goes in the Notifications tab. Full setup: 5-minute webhook guide.
Do symbols need my broker's suffix?
If your broker lists EURUSD.m, either use that exact name in the payload or configure the suffix once in the EA settings.
Can I send limit or pending orders?
Check the docs for the current order-type coverage — the library above sticks to the payloads every plan supports today.
