Before you begin: Start with the Smart Trader onboarding checklist and the V2 automation overview. Never use a live account until you have confirmed symbol, order quantity, all intended entry/exit types and risk settings with a demo or minimum-size test.

For Provider-Native mode
Use the same procedure, but the TradingView Message must be the exact message supplied/generated by the provider. Do not replace a provider-native JSON payload with {{strategy.order.alert_message}} unless the provider’s current documentation explicitly instructs you to do so.
| Snapshot rule TradingView saves a mirror image of the script, its inputs, chart symbol and timeframe when the alert is created. Later chart/input changes do not update that running alert. |

Normal notifications are different
The V2 scripts can also expose normal alert() messages for notifications. Those are useful for app/email/webhook signal notifications, but they are not the same as the order-fill automation path. Do not select alert() function calls only when your goal is TradeSmart execution automation.
