3. Tutorial: Link TradingView with Capital.com in 5 Steps

Let's get practical! Follow these steps to place your first automated trade from TradingView on your Capital.com account.

Step 1: Generate Your API Keys in Capital.com

First, you need to obtain your API credentials from your Capital.com account.

  1. Log in to your Capital.com account.
  2. Go to the "Settings" section and find the "API" tab.
  3. Generate a new set of keys. Capital.com will provide you with two crucial pieces of information:
    • API Key
    • API Key Password

Security Tip: Save your API key password in a safe place. It is usually only shown once when generated.

Step 2: Sign Up on WebhookTrade

Create a free account on WebhookTrade. Registration is quick and gives you immediate access to the connection platform.

Step 3: Connect Your Capital.com Account in WebhookTrade

This is the key step. Inside your WebhookTrade dashboard:

  1. Go to the menu and click on "Connect to a broker or Metatrader".
  2. Select the "Connect with Capital.com" option.
  3. Fill out the form with the details you generated in Step 1:
    • API Key: Paste your API key.
    • API Key Password: Paste your API key password.
    • Email: The email you used to register with Capital.com.

Click "Connect" and WebhookTrade will save your credentials in encrypted form. They will only be used to securely send orders to your Capital.com account whenever an alert is triggered.

Step 4: Generate Your Alert Command

In WebhookTrade, use the tool to create the "message" you will paste into TradingView. This text tells our system what to do. Note that the `broker` must be `"capital.com"`.

{
  "username": "your_webhooktrade_username",
  "api_key": "your_secret_api_key",
  "broker": "capital.com",
  "symbol": "US30",
  "action": "buy",
  "size": "1"
}

Step 5: Set Up the Alert in TradingView

The final step. Go to your TradingView chart:

  1. Create an alert on an indicator or directly on the chart.
  2. In the "Message" tab of the alert, paste the code you generated in the previous step.
  3. Go to the "Notifications" tab of the alert.
  4. Enable the "Webhook URL" checkbox and paste the unique URL provided by WebhookTrade. Or if that option is not available, enable the "Send Plain Text" checkbox and provide the email address given by WebhookTrade.

Click "Create" and you're all set! The next time your alert is triggered, the trade will be executed directly in your Capital.com account.
