TradingView to Interactive Brokers Automation

The workflow starts when TradingView sends an alert to a TradeLuma webhook. TradeLuma parses the message, identifies the strategy and broker connection, and checks the configured execution rules before an order can move forward.

Approved instructions are sent through the supported Interactive Brokers OAuth connection. TradeLuma then records submission, broker status, fills, cancellations, and any reason an instruction was blocked.

TradeLuma's current Interactive Brokers workflow uses a first-party OAuth connection rather than requiring the legacy TradeLuma Bridge on a user-managed computer or VPS. Authentication, exact account selection, broker-session readiness, and permitted execution state remain explicit parts of the workflow.

Live and paper connections remain separately controlled. A connected OAuth session does not by itself authorise an order: account mode, strategy permissions, platform safety gates, and broker readiness still have to allow the instruction.

TradeLuma supports live execution through eligible broker connections while keeping paper mode available for validating symbol mapping, order direction, quantity, alert formatting, bracket behaviour, and broker status handling without live capital.

TradeLuma keeps live and paper execution modes separate so account mode is explicit throughout validation, routing, monitoring, and reconciliation.

A TradingView alert is not treated as an unconditional command. Strategy permissions, duplicate protection, allowed direction, position capacity, daily limits, account mode, and broker readiness can all be checked before routing.

Those controls do not remove trading risk. Their purpose is to make the automation workflow more explicit and easier to monitor.

Automated trading can fail after submission as well as before it. Network interruptions, session state, rejected orders, and broker-side changes can create differences between a local application and the brokerage account.

TradeLuma tracks broker responses and uses reconciliation workflows so unresolved orders and positions can be identified rather than silently assumed to be correct.

TradingView provides charting and alert generation. Interactive Brokers provides the brokerage account and broker execution. TradeLuma provides the automation and control layer between supported workflows.

TradingView and Interactive Brokers are third-party services and are not affiliated with TradeLuma. Availability and behaviour can depend on account type, market, permissions, broker session state, and each provider's own systems.
