A webhook lets an external system send a signal into Liquid Edge to trigger a strategy — for example, a TradingView alert firing an entry on your connected account.
Availability: webhook triggering is rolling out. For access and the exact endpoint, reach out on the Telegram. This page explains the concept and the general shape.
How it works#
- In Liquid Edge, you create a strategy set up to accept an external trigger, and you get a unique webhook URL plus a secret.
- You configure your external source (charting platform, script, or your own server) to send an HTTP POST to that URL when its condition is met.
- Liquid Edge authenticates the request against your secret and, if valid, runs the strategy's execution on your connected exchange — within your sizing and risk limits.
Security principles#
- Keep your webhook secret private. It authenticates the sender; treat it like a password.
- Execution stays bounded. A webhook can trigger a trade, but it cannot exceed the sizing and risk limits you set, and it can never withdraw funds — the connection is trade-only.
- You stay in control. Pause, stop, or kill the strategy at any time from Risk Controls.
Typical use#
- Fire entries/exits from TradingView alerts.
- Trigger execution from a proprietary model or a partner's signal service.
