Automated Trading: Basic Concepts
A quick introduction to automated trading at Alertatron, along with a video guide to getting started...
Executing your orders quickly is critical if you want to keep your edge. We can normally start executing your orders in less than a second from an alert triggering on TradingView.
Gain access to our sophisticated trading tools. Automatically set Stop Loss and Take Profit orders at your targets, place non-linear scaled orders, time-weighted entries, trailing orders, or run fully managed positions. You are in full control.
For performance and security reasons, the bot executes your orders on a dedicated and isolated instance of our unique and powerful trading engine.
Any signal, from a bot or TradingView alert, can trigger any sequence of trades you choose. Alertatron’s clever bot will execute them for you, 24/7.
Create complex sequences of orders, close existing positions, add delays, position orders relative to your average entry, run trades on multiple exchanges, symbols or sub accounts simultaneously, trade using percentage of balance sizes, and so much more.
Look at our introduction to trading from your alerts, or browse through the extensive documentation of every supported command and order type.

Alertatron is perfect for running your own trades, but our advanced support for trading groups makes managing large groups easy too. If you run a trading group with up to 200 clients, Alertatron can automate complex order execution across the whole group.
Even large groups get the full benefit of our isolated execution. Each of your clients trades will run on their own isolated bot. Access separate log and event history for each client. See individual PnL data per client, or aggregated PnL data for the entire group.
