This client’s investment firm spends time turning market rules and chart data into usable trading decisions. The software is custom trading signals software for TradingView: it takes market data, configured indicators and trading rules, then gives the firm buy and sell signals, alerts, tested strategies and automated orders. It is made for the firm’s traders and analysts, with position and risk controls in the same solution.

Summary

Problem

The investment firm spends time turning its market rules into signals, tests and orders.

Solution

The solution became a TradingView signal workspace with custom indicators, backtesting, alerts, execution connections and risk controls.

Result

The software is made to reduce manual work and rework from a trading rule to an executed order.

Client story

The client is an investment firm from Estonia. It works with futures, forex and equities, using market data, indicators and strategies to guide decisions.

The firm spends time turning its own rules, chart patterns and zones into clear entry and exit signals. Alerts, historical testing and order execution also form part of this work.

The request was to create custom TradingView indicators and Pine Script strategies, test them against historical data, connect signals to selected broker or exchange APIs, and manage orders and positions with configurable controls.

The solution was shaped as separate chart, alert, testing and execution screens. Rules and settings were kept modular so indicators, automations and integrations can be extended without rebuilding the whole system.

The client asked for

  1. Create TradingView indicators and Pine Script strategies from our trading rules.
  2. Backtest strategies and show historical performance before live execution.
  3. Connect signals to broker, exchange, and execution-platform APIs.
  4. Manage positions with quantities, stops, targets, and risk controls.

Why ready-made software did not fit

Brokerage trading platforms support buying, selling and managing financial assets, but the firm also needs its own market rules, chart patterns and alerts. Ready-made platforms cover parts of this task, while a custom solution combines the studies, alert routes and selected trading connections in one workspace.

Project overview

The solution was designed around TradingView charts, configured indicators and the firm’s own trading rules. Custom Pine Script indicators and strategies show buy and sell signals, candle patterns and order blocks.

To handle live and historical data, the workspace uses TradingView data tools for candles, quotes and technical analysis. The chart keeps the signals and market structures visible together.

A dedicated alert screen sends TradingView signals as popup notifications, Telegram alerts or webhook JSON payloads. Error notifications and a message preview make the route to an external system clear.

The testing screen runs strategies against historical market data and shows results, trade metrics and execution events before live or paper execution.

The execution screen connects to broker, exchange or execution-platform APIs. It supports live or paper modes, market or limit orders, quantities, stop-losses and targets.

Could ready-made systems do the job?

Before the design, the task was compared with ready-made products by their own descriptions.

What the client needs Brokerage platforms Kite, thinkorswim, E*Trade Web Platform Multi-asset trading platforms MetaTrader 5, eToro, Dotbig platform Automated trading software Galileo FX, Abbado Custom solution
Custom indicators and strategies partly partly —
Backtest historical strategies partly —
Connect APIs and place orders
Manage risk and positions
Fits the client's own rules: stages, roles, reports — — —
All steps in one place — — —
No manual steps between programs — — —

By the public descriptions of the products and their category.

Ready-made products cover parts of custom indicators, backtesting, execution and risk management. A ready-made product is enough when the task needs only one of these parts.

This investment firm needed its own software because its market rules and workflow had to stay together, while the required stages were spread across charting, alert, testing and execution tools. The connections between those tools also needed automation rather than manual transfer.

In the end

In the end, the solution was made to take manual work out of the path from the investment firm’s trading rules to its alerts, tests and orders.
