In the previous tutorial, we learn how to send automated orders from tradingview platform. The same way one can send automated option orders from Tradingview Charts/Strategies.

Understanding the ATM/ITM/OTM options selection process

One can select the ATM/ITM/OTM strike price automatically by selecting the offset value as shown from the above API request information. For placing orders in ATM strikes one have to send the offset value to zero and if one needs to select lower strike price then negative offset needs to be used and positive offset for selecting higher strike price than the last traded price.

Below example explains the various offset values and how to ATM/ITM/OTM values are decided based on the offset parameter selection.

Tradingview Webhook

Tradingview supports webhook alerts from Tradingview Pro plan onwards. Webhook is a unique way of communicating in realtime from one application to another application. Webhooks are automatic. You don’t have to manually utilize them in order to make them work — once they’re set up, they run on their own.

Tradingview Webhook Alert Configuration

Here are the different webhook configuration settings for various type of orders. Note for bracket orders one need to send along with token id. Which will be discussed in the upcoming articles.
