Pine Script Webhook Alert for PickMyTrade
Builds the PickMyTrade webhook JSON payload inside Pine, so a TradingView alert can auto-trade a connected Apex, Tradeify, or Bulenox account.
Pine Script
//@version=6
strategy("Target Filled - PickMyTrade Webhook Example", overlay=true, calc_on_every_tick=false)
// --- Inputs ---------------------------------------------------
acctToken = input.string("YOUR_PICKMYTRADE_TOKEN", "PickMyTrade Account Token")
orderQty = input.int(1, "Contracts", minval=1)
// --- PickMyTrade payload builder (assembled at runtime) -----------
// Match these field names exactly to the alert template your own
// PickMyTrade dashboard generates — rename here if yours differs.
pmtPayload(direction) =>
'{"symbol": "' + syminfo.ticker + '", "data": "' + direction + '", "quantity": ' +
str.tostring(orderQty) + ', "token": "' + acctToken + '"}'
// --- Sample signal — replace with your own entry logic ---------
fastMA = ta.ema(close, 9)
slowMA = ta.ema(close, 21)
if ta.crossover(fastMA, slowMA)
strategy.entry("Long", strategy.long, qty=orderQty)
alert(pmtPayload("buy"), alert.freq_once_per_bar_close)
if ta.crossunder(fastMA, slowMA)
strategy.entry("Short", strategy.short, qty=orderQty)

| Input | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| acctToken | — | Your PickMyTrade account token, copied from the dashboard. |
| orderQty | 1 | Contract quantity sent in the payload and used for the entry. |
How to use
- Generate an alert template in your PickMyTrade dashboard first, and mirror its exact field names inside
pmtPayload. - Swap the EMA-crossover placeholder for your own entry conditions.
- Create a single TradingView alert with condition "Order fills and alert() function calls" and paste in the PickMyTrade webhook URL.
- Per-firm routing — which broker and account a payload lands on — is configured on the PickMyTrade side, not in Pine. See the PickMyTrade Apex setup guide.
Which firms allow this
Automation policy varies by firm and can change between the evaluation and a funded account. Current policy for the firms PickMyTrade most commonly routes to:
| Firm | Automation Policy |
|---|---|
| Apex Trader Funding | Allowed during the evaluation. Not allowed for commercial/resold automation on live Performance Accounts — a script may still drive manual-confirm execution. |
| Tradeify | Explicitly permitted on both evaluations and funded accounts. |
| Bulenox | Permitted during evaluations via TradingView alerts to an execution broker; page caveats to always verify current policy. |
Frequently Asked Questions
What webhook format does PickMyTrade use?
A JSON object carrying the account token, symbol, side, and quantity — the snippet above builds it at runtime with
str.tostring. Field names have to match whatever template your PickMyTrade dashboard actually generates, so pull that template first and rename the keys here if they differ.Can I automate Apex with Pine Script?
Yes. PickMyTrade forwards TradingView alerts into Rithmic and Tradovate accounts, which covers Apex evaluations and funded Performance Accounts, plus firms like Tradeify and Bulenox. Apex Trader Funding's own policy: "Allowed during the evaluation. Not allowed for commercial/resold automation on live Performance Accounts — a script may still drive manual-confirm execution." You're still responsible for staying inside the rules once it's live — that's what the kill switch and max-trades snippets are for.
