Templates connect Tradoflow to the outside
Templates build on top of strategies and connections. They contain the details of the order to be executed by Tradoflow. The template syntax defines which information an external service (such as Tradingview) has to send to Tradoflow when their trading events happen.
Let's create a template:
- 1. Navigate to the strategy page
You will find a list with your current strategies. If you are new, this list will be empty (to create on find the guide here).
- 2. Click the Bell-Icon
A form will appear for you to set up the order details. The form will differ for different strategies depending on the underlying connection.
- Symbol - Defines which symbol to trade
- Quantity - Defines the amount to trade
- Type - The order type to be used (Market, Limit, etc.)
- Side - The side of the order (Buy, Sell)
- Other settings - Depending on the strategy, there might be additional settings, such as limit price, notional, etc. You can find detailed information in the parameters documentation for each exchange.
- Verify your entries and click the button
The template syntax will be generated and displayed in the gray box.
