In simple English
This tool listens for price alerts sent from TradingView charts. When an alert arrives, it triggers custom Python code that you write. You can use it to send messages to Discord or connect to a broker API and execute trades. It requires some programming knowledge to set up and run. You need a server running all the time to catch alerts as they happen.
What it is
Tradingview-webhooks-bot is an event-driven Python framework built with Flask (a lightweight web framework for Python). It provides a web server to receive webhooks (automated messages sent by websites) and a command-line interface to manage actions.
What it is good for
Solo builders who want to automate their trading strategies using TradingView alerts without building a webhook server from scratch.
