TradingView Webhooks → Broker: The Honest Guide

Webhook latency from TradingView is the most under-discussed number in retail automation. I’ve measured 200ms median, 1.4s p99 to a US-east endpoint.

If your strategy depends on bar close, that’s fine. If it depends on tick-level entries, you need to add broker-side smart routing.

Retry logic: TradingView fires once. If your endpoint 5xx’s, the signal is gone. Build idempotent receivers — and store every payload, even the duplicates.

Partial fills are the silent killer. Every broker handles them differently. I keep a per-broker adapter that normalizes fills into a single internal event shape.

And please — sign your webhook payloads. A leaked endpoint is a six-figure mistake waiting to happen.
