Trading, Alerts & Events Settings

TradingView connects directly with a growing list of Indian brokers (including Dhan, Fyers, Kotak Securities). Once connected, the 'Trading' tab in the chart settings dictates exactly how your live orders, open positions, and historical executions are rendered on your charting canvas.

This integration allows you to completely bypass your broker's clunky native terminal. Instead of calculating stop-loss prices manually, you can visually interact with your trades directly against key technical levels.

The Trading settings tab allows you to toggle visual overlays for your active brokerage account. Enabling 'Show Positions' will draw a horizontal line at your exact entry price, with a live, ticking P&L box attached to it.

The most powerful feature here is visual order modification. If you have a pending Limit order or Stop-Loss plotted as a dashed line, you can simply click and drag that line up or down on the chart to instantly modify the order at the exchange. No manual typing required.

The Alerts system handles TradingView's massive 13-condition notification engine. While setting individual alerts is done on the chart, the global Alert Settings control how you are notified.

For discretionary traders, you can configure unique audio tones for different setups (e.g., a harsh siren for a Stop-Loss breach, a subtle chime for a trendline touch).

For algorithmic traders, the Webhook URL setting is the most critical feature. It allows TradingView to send JSON-formatted data packets directly to an external server or broker API the millisecond an alert triggers, forming the backbone of fully automated trading systems.

Technical analysis tells you *how* price moved; Fundamental analysis tells you *why*. The 'Events' settings tab allows you to overlay fundamental catalysts directly onto your candlestick chart.

By enabling Earnings and Dividends, small 'E' and 'D' icons will appear at the bottom of your chart on the exact dates those corporate actions occurred. Furthermore, you can enable the Economic Calendar to display macroeconomic events (like RBI rate decisions or US CPI data) directly on the timeline.
