I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

[@Susanne-zuku]

@AustinWalker67 That's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well

[@Susanne-zuku]

@AustinWalker67 I will give this a look, thanks a bunch for sharing.

Dont stop, man. These are incredibly informative videos that I'm always stoked to see. Cheers

[@xellworth7715]

Dude greetings from argentina, i was about to try do a trading bot by myself and was pretty lost. Thanks for the content! Learning a lot!

[@dipooganla4016]

Can't believe this is free. Thanks a lot man

[@exnaruto1]

Just wanted to say found you yesterday and loving so much of your content. It's really is the mix right between programming and finance that I was looking for, the production quality is good with the right amt of time per video! Also love that what you use isn't just old clunky software like mt4 and have such cool ideas of interconnecting systems together :)

[@parttimelarry]

Thanks so much for the kind words! This channel will continue to get better!

[@CarlosWong54]

Thanks Larry you’re channel has phenomenal content! Please keep it up 😁

[@ricomajestic]

Some cool stuff here Larry! I will have to study all your videos.

[@temiwale88]

My guy. I appreciate you man! Thank you!! So clutch.

[@Bf2142Samuel7777]

Ultra informative. Planning to do this exact thing with Tradestation. Tradingview is really popular with crypto, but isn't well supported in the commodity futures world. Would be amazing to use this very technique to post a buy/sell indicator signal inside Tradestation, or do direct autotrading through the API.

[@thefirstrohitkeshwani]

You shouldn't let the user of the API that a passphrase is invalid, it should just fail silently, otherwise, you let them/others know that there is a passphrase. You should also check the request headers for the tradingview domain if you can to make sure that the request is coming in through tradingview servers (if possible). Otherwise, very helpful video, thank you for doing this.

[@prabhu_patil]

Very informative.. Great going..

[@ABMNATN]

This all sounds awesome. But I'm curious if you've thought about marketing a monthly membership service for something like this. An automated Stock system that is user friendly where anyone with a tradingview strategy could plug in key data, connect to an exchange and start trading. I'd be interested in being a member.

[@machin3859]

Thank you for this. Incredible stuff!

[@ktrades2898]

I was using concept of polling to create alerts. Webhooks sound neat!. One challenge I have is that can we add multiple alerts for different tickers from a spreadsheet? In essence, can we automate it the alert creation process?

[@ashleykubin8574]

Right on time, every time. :-)

[@infoking2024]

hi..i have a question..im almost new to tradingview script and before i used mql4 to make indicator or script . i used to make scanner indicator using mql4 and or instance if i insert 10 symboles like eurusd , gbpusd etc and if i set certatin condition it send alert to me when condition met. with tradingivew this kind of scanner can make? i searched but it difficult find such scanner.

[@luvrahooo]

Superkool videos thanks a lot. Could you also post some videos on scalping strategies intradat trading and how to get backtesting results?

[@javierlevy2597]

your a good man

[@desiben]

Hi Larry, Can you please explain how do you do a SELL trade for the BUY you just made using tradingview. So it should be a Pair trade (Buy & Sell)

[@Flarrison]

Did I miss the AWS Lambda part..?

[@mohadnerds6764]

Hello, very nice video , thanks! Can you please help - with how to secure the communication between tradingview and aws chalice app, besides the passphrase? I appreciate you including passphrase bit in the video. However, I am concerned that this is sent in plain text. I've been trying to think how to do this, but have no ideas. Please help. Thanks so much!

[@dheerajchidambaranathan]

Hi, Thanks a ton for doing these videos. They are incredibly helpful for someone like me who wants to do Algo trading. I already have a pretty decent strategy hooked up on TradingView that works good and I've been trying to automate the trading part of it. I did exactly what you did for the Alpaca API with TradingView and I am ecstatic about it other than the minor hiccup that it takes a few seconds to get filled on market orders so I was trying to do the same with TDAmeritrade. The one question I have with TD Ameritrade is for Options trading, is there an easy way to get the option symbol from the get_option_chain json return body other than going through the multiple levels of the dictionary that comes out? It would be great to get just the option symbol from the chain that I get returned (I only ask for one particular strike price) so I can use the orderbuilder template for requesting market option orders rather than manually change the chain every single time it expires. Thanks a lot :)

[@umarayub]

Good morning Larry. Great content here man. What a nice lean app you created. Would you be able to guide me in setting something up with python and be able to backtest options strategies before trading them on top of this. Would be super helpful for the bot. Thanks man.

[@vincentscotti9729]

Awesome video. Thanks so much. Question for you...if we have TradingView send multiple alerts to multiple end points containing different indicator data points, then how can we share those data points across functions/end points. Using your RSI as an example. If we send RSI data to our option/order end point and then send a volume alert to a /volume end point, then how can we access that volume data from the option/order end point/function?

[@swarupakalpana6461]

Can you please set up a video to create an API webhook in AWS? I am not able to open the AWS webhook to open world.

[@JessJOM]

Hi, great video and very informative. Quick question do you know how to incorporate a signal from the tdi api that tells the bot when the pdt is over so it won't go far from that limit? Thanks in advance

[@sedul2006]

Hi, what is the best way to backtest a private script in TradingView? Is there a way to backtest using webhooks alerts from a private script in TradingView?

[@k2icc]

Anything you have seen to track options purchases or interest with Python? Thanks.

[@bryanmiller2220]

He said somehting about having python do the math to find a range to put in the order to buy the options i need to do this for the options expiration date

[@julian2awesome]

I got {"message": "Internal server error"} in the browser @15:46

[@AlexeyZubkov]

Hey nice tutorial, do you have script to generate refresh token by any chance?

[@alexanderwilliams9510]

Great video! Is this possible with Index Futures on TD Ameritrade? Thanks!

[@alexanderwilliams9510]

Incase anyone else is wondering... order entry for futures is not available through TD Ameritrade's API.

[@stevebrauner1961]

Thanks so much for these Videos Larry. I am not a developer, and outside of writing a few basic scripts I have not written any code, but I've been able to follow along with the whole series and get all of the steps working with a little bit of help from google, modifying as needed for the changes in the APIs. On this video, I am getting a 403 "Missing Authentication Token" when attempting to Post the JSON from Insomnia against Chalice Local. Is there something specific that I need to setup in Insomnia that I missed? I verified that Authentication is set to no auth and haven't configures anything in Visual Studio that you haven't specified in your videos. Any help would be appreciated. The error is so generic that Google isn't much help on this one.

[@rabikhan9787]

Can we buy a single option at market and not limit? And how? Using TDA API

[@vsvinuraj1982]

Do we have the option to create tradingview alerts thru API. All the videos are creating alerts manually

[@ChuckKnowles]

nice vid sir

[@chandakrishna]

Hey, this is cool video, somehow i was able to make it working for single order but when adjusting json to OCO orders it isn’t creating the second one. Was anyone able to use it for OCO or one tigger all type orders? Not sure if it’s because of the TDA-API libraries.

[@chandakrishna]

It looks like "Advanced features" is turned on for my TDA account, so I need to turn it off.

[@coreybonnette5787]

could you make a video on how to do this with tradier?

[@gundeboinasaikumar311]

How can this code deployed in aws cloud??

[@engaliaskar]

be aware of TradingView Alerts, as sometime alerts could get delayed! I faced this issue several times, an alert delay of more than 8 hours! they haven't fixed this bug for almost 6 months!

[@parttimelarry]

Thanks for the heads up!

[@unbreakable3396]

Big like bro , and we hope to make course about crypto automation trade with python via tradingview alerts system

[@kylejorgensen819]

I can't get chalice or flask to run app on cloud. It can find token path locally but not after its deployed. Tda-api does have an advanced Auth method tda.auth.client_from_access_functions(api_key But I can't get it to work at all. Just makes a bunch of errors on vscode. Is there a way to reach out to you??

[@kylejorgensen819]

This advanced method states its for serverless applications.

[@jaguarprovo]

Larry please help. I would have left this comment on the forum page but it looks like questions take a while to get answered. When deploying my API to the cloud after verifying it works locally, I get an internal server error from AWS! But I have fully set up and verified by AWS. My credential folder appears to have everything it needs to work. If I deploy a simpler app like "HELLO WORLD" it shows up perfectly on the URL. HELP me please!

[@danielnguyen6470]

having the same problem. Did you figure it out?

[@stevenburrell8582]

If your deploying to lambda behind an API endpoint it means your script is failing for one reason or another. You should check CloudWatch Logs to see where this issue begins. Also note that :Internal Server Error is the default response if a lambda doesn’t fail gracefully or return its own response

[@maclensito]

Can you do a video of this but with binance futures? Something like testnet binance would be great!

[@parttimelarry]

Hey, planning to do more with crypto, I haven't traded it much. Was going to do a coinbase pro video first, but then can try binance.

[@machin3859]

Could you do a video on TD api and Discord?

[@parttimelarry]

This video I did with Alpaca posts a Discord message if that's what you need: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joG3k2aXmaqEe6c not sure if it is necessary to have a separate video with TD API and Discord, just add the Discord piece from the linked video

[@hamzar3485]

Can you do a trading bot / EA for Forex? Along with a back test please?

[@parttimelarry]

I don't know much about forex unfortunately, so it has been a lower priority. Will hopefully get to it one day, but stocks and options are my priority.

[@6cylbmw]

Larry, community, Do you guys know any good trading platform with an API as good as Alpaca's for EUROPE? I'm struggling to find a good one for a while ...

[@parttimelarry]

Have you tried Interactive Brokers or IG.com ? I'm not in Europe, but let me know if these work. I have these on my list to try, just signed up for Interactive Brokers this week.

[@6cylbmw]

@@parttimelarry Nope, I did not try them yet. I did some research in the past and got kind of stuck because I couldn't find a good API broker. Would be cool if you'd do some videos with Europe brokers in the future. Thank you a lot!

@@envision227 if TOS is think or swim I believe their API doesn’t allow you to submit futures orders :/ which sucks because I setup a futures account with them just for algo trading
