Test strategies with the demo webhook

Your dashboard provides a second, demo webhook URL. Signals sent to it are executed in your $5,000 virtual portfolio at live prices — never on a real exchange.

  1. Open Dashboard → TradingView Bot and copy the Demo Webhook URL
  2. Use it in your TradingView alert exactly like the live URL (same JSON format)
  3. Each LONG/SHORT signal opens a $100 demo position (leverage from your signal, capped at 10x); CLOSE signals close the symbol's demo positions
  4. Track results in Analytics → Demo Portfolio — equity curve, win rate, drawdown
💡
Run a strategy on demo for a couple of weeks before pointing it at the live URL. Same parser, same risk checks — zero risk.
🧪
Using a Pine strategy() alert? Demo is the right place to confirm that your exits behave. Include market_position, prev_market_position and position_size in the message so exits close the position instead of opening a reverse one — the setup guide has the exact JSON.
⚠️
The message must be JSON here too. TradingView's default alert text (e.g. “BTCUSDT Crossing 1.00”) carries no direction and is rejected — it shows as Unrecognised signal format in your dashboard, on demo exactly as on live.
