Automating TradingView Strategy to Kucoin Futures

Where your strategy generates long, short, and exit commands, use {{strategy.market_position}}* - which returns the current position of the strategy in string form: “long”, “flat”, or “short”. For a strategy with long and short commands only, use {{strategy.order.action}} - which returns the string “buy” or “sell” for the executed order.

Go to your Webhook on TradingView to Anywhere website, select Manage, and just below your webhook, use the command provided to specify the asset to trade followed by the quantity, leverage, and the account. Quantity can be expressed either as a percentage of your balance, or the number of contracts.

The instrument symbol can easily be derived directly from the KuCoin futures chart link as shown. This link https://www.kucoin.com/futures/trade/XBTUSDTM takes you to the BTCUSDT chart on KuCoin, and from the last part of the link, we can see that the symbol name for this asset pair is XBTUSDTM. All other symbol names are derived the same way.

Example:

  1. A strategy with long, short, and exit commands:
    {{strategy.market_position}} XBTUSDTM Q=1 L=5 A=Futures
    or
    {{strategy.market_position}} XBTUSDTM Q=50% L=5 A=Futures

  2. A strategy with long and short commands only
    Close XBTUSDTM A=FUTURES
    {{strategy.order.action}} XBTUSDTM Q=1 L=5 A=Futures
    or
    Close XBTUSDTM A=FUTURES
    {{strategy.order.action}} XBTUSDTM Q=50% L=5 A=Futures
    This command will first close any open positions of XBTUSDTM before opening either a long or a short as per the strategy.

Automating TradingView Indicator to KuCoin Futures

Example:

  1. Buy Alert; Paste the following command:
    Close XBTUSDTM A=Futures
    Buy XBTUSDTM Q=1 L=5 A=Futures
    This command will ensure any previous open position for XBTUSDTM is closed before going long.

    Close XBTUSDTM A=Futures
    Sell XBTUSDTM Q=1 L=5 A=Futures
    This command will ensure any previous open position for XBTUSDTM is closed before going short

You can add other parameters such as P to convert it to a limit order. Example: Sell XBTUSDTM Q=1 L=5 P=25000 A=Futures, will place a sell limit order at 25000.

That’s all, it is that simple! :slight_smile:
