Build the signal

Research and model in TrendSpider. Trade with TradersPost.

TrendSpider handles research, models, backtests and alert conditions. TradersPost starts when its webhook arrives: it applies your order rules and places the trade at your broker.

  • Alerts and strategy bots

    Dynamic price alerts follow your trendlines and indicators, and multi-factor alerts combine technical, fundamental, pattern and multi-timeframe conditions. Alerts and strategy bots send the webhook that TradersPost turns into an order.

  • ML Quant Lab

    Train custom machine-learning models on historical data without coding, then use their signals in charts, scans, backtests, alerts and bots.

  • Sidekick AI and Deep Research

    Ask questions across charts, fundamentals, filings, options and news, research several symbols in parallel, and have Sidekick create or change alerts from a plain-language request.

  • Strategy Tester

    Backtest a strategy without code, or run one across many symbols, watchlists and timeframes with the Group Strategy Tester and compare every result in one table.

  • Automated chart analysis

    Trendlines, Fibonacci retracements and chart patterns are drawn for you, Raindrop charts show volume inside each candle, and multi-timeframe analysis overlays several timeframes on one chart.

  • Options data and analysis

    Real-time OPRA options data feeds the options chain with Greeks, the options map heatmap and custom options indicators, which you can use in scans and alerts.

Alert or strategy bot: pick your message

The message is a short JSON payload in the webhook body. Which one you need depends on whether the signal comes from an alert or a bot.

TrendSpider in the docs

Price or multi-factor alert

TrendSpider fills in the symbol and the last price when the alert fires.

{
    "ticker": "%alert_symbol%",
    "action": "buy",
    "price": "%last_price%"
}

Add alertName, alertNote or priceActionEvent to see where a signal came from. They are stored with it and do not change the order.

Strategy bot

Trading bots do not support variables for the ticker, so the ticker is written into the message.

{
    "ticker": "SPY",
    "action": "buy"
}

A bot trades the ticker in its message, so each ticker needs its own message.

TrendSpider: 3 things to know

  • Orders A webhook is what places the order

    Sidekick, ML Quant Lab, the Strategy Tester and options analysis help you decide when to trade, but none of them sends an order. An alert or strategy bot has to send the webhook to TradersPost, which then places the order at your broker.

    TrendSpider in the docs (opens in a new tab)
  • Setup TrendSpider takes one webhook URL

    TrendSpider allows a single webhook URL, set from your profile menu, so every TrendSpider alert and bot sends to the same TradersPost strategy.

    Configure the webhook URL (opens in a new tab)
  • Limits Bots need the ticker in the message

    Trading bots do not support variables for the ticker, so write it into the message. Alerts can use the alert symbol variable instead.
