V1 SCRIPT WORKFLOW: These steps describe the earlier TradeSmart V1 alert format and third-party connection process, not Premium V2 automation. Provider screens and requirements may have changed. Check the current provider instructions and paper-test entry, exit, position size and emergency close before any live use. For a V2 script, use the V2 automation guides.
