Trade Bridge: Getting Started

Trade Bridge is for strategies decided somewhere else. The signal comes from a third party — TradingView, a Python system, or anything that can send a webhook.

The split is worth stating plainly: they decide when, you configure what, your broker executes. The outside system says "buy now". Here in Trade Apps you set up which instrument, which strike, how many lots and what risk controls apply. The order then goes to your broker terminal.

Use it when your strategy logic already lives outside Bluechip Algos and you want platform execution, broker handling, runtime controls and records around it.

Bluechip Algos has seven trading tools. Three place trades from a signal, three are for trading by hand, and one manages a stock portfolio. The quickest way to tell them apart is to ask what decides the entry.

• Trade Scalper — you decide, trade by trade. A discretionary tool for intraday traders and scalpers, with advanced controls built for option traders.
• Trade Disc — you decide, and then you adjust. A discretionary terminal for option traders who change a position after it is open — moving a leg to another strike, or changing its size, in one click.
• Trade Charts — you decide, on the chart. Options traded straight from the candles — entry, stop loss and target are lines you drag, with patterns and indicators drawn on the same chart.
• Trade Builder — indicators decide. RSI, moving averages, Supertrend, levels and candle patterns, worked out inside the platform on official candles. It analyses the index and places the order in options.
• Trade Bots — the clock decides. You give it times — enter at 09:20, exit at 15:10, on these weekdays. Straddles and strangles built around a schedule rather than an indicator.
• Trade Bridge (this one) — somebody else decides. Your signal comes from a third party such as TradingView. You configure what to trade here in Trade Apps, and the order is executed in your broker terminal.
• Equity Rebalancer — your stock list decides, on your schedule. You hold a fixed number of stocks in equal amounts and change the list every week or month. It works out what to sell and buy so every stock is even again, and buys shares for delivery rather than trading intraday.

It suits you if you already have a working system elsewhere — a TradingView alert, your own script — and the missing piece is reliable execution with proper risk controls.

It does not suit you if you have no outside signal source. With nothing sending alerts, a Bridge strategy will simply never trade. In that case use Trade Builder, where the platform itself decides.

Four things, one more than the other tools.

• An active subscription.
• A connected broker account.
• A signal source you control — a TradingView alert or your own program.
• The strategy’s webhook URL, which the platform gives you. Paste it into your signal source so its alerts reach the right strategy.

Your outside system fires an alert at the webhook URL. The platform matches it to the strategy, checks it is allowed to trade right now, then places the legs you configured.

Several things can legitimately stop a signal: the strategy is off, the day is not an active weekday, the signal arrived outside the allowed time window, or a risk limit is already hit. All of these are recorded, so a signal is never silently lost.

The signal decides direction and timing only. Everything about the instrument — strike, expiry, lots, product — comes from your configuration here, not from the alert.

Stated plainly, so there are no surprises.

• It cannot create signals. If your outside system stops sending, nothing trades.
• It cannot fix a bad alert. If the alert is wrong, the trade will be too.
• It cannot guarantee delivery from a third party. Alerts can be late or lost on the sender’s side, which is outside the platform’s control.
