TradingView is the world’s most popular chart tool.

It is popular with both discretionary and system traders.

This is an announcement of our plans to provide an environment for automated trading using this tool.

Excited about programming after a long time
Automatic trading

This plan was launched 15 days ago, in late May in Japan.

I had known about TradingView for quite some time, but had never actually used it after registering.

However, since the beginning of this year, I have received inquiries from several people asking if it is possible to trade automatically using TradingView.

News has come out that Monex Securities’ Monex Trader service will be discontinued.

I thought this would be a good opportunity to look into it, so I began researching.

By the way, when I contacted someone at Monex Trader when it was discontinued, they told me that there were still a fair number of users.

While I was researching TradingView, I found that there were several people I knew who were board members at TradingView Japan.

Since you mentioned that you have users from Monex Securities, I thought it would be meaningful to create an outlet for those who used Monex Trader in the past.

Someone at TradingView told me, “If you can do that, go ahead and do it. We’ll provide any support you need, so please let us know.”

These two reasons combined meant that there was no reason not to do it.

So, how do we achieve this?

Our company already has a tool that receives emails, analyzes the contents contained within, and places orders with securities companies.

It’s called Mail de Order. By the way, “de” is the French “do.” It’s the same as “do” in “fond de veau.”

I don’t know.

Until now, we have supported Masuda Ashi and others, but we will use a method that will also support TradingView alert emails.

I am now in charge of the team that I expanded in 2018, and as such I have many other tasks, such as holding meetings with other companies, planning new business schemes, and also dealing with customers of Autore, our existing service.

The time I can devote to programming is limited.

However, with a little bit of programming I was able to successfully place an order after receiving an email from TradingView yesterday.

I’m really glad I made Mail Order. I had a ton of time back then.

If we had made it from scratch, we would never have been able to make it in such a short time.

As I continue to experiment a bit more, I would like to create an explanatory page which I will then be able to provide to everyone.

By the way, the financial products covered are stocks (spot and margin) and Nikkei 225 futures.

FX and crypto assets are likely to be offered later.

Additionally, we also support alerts using TradingView webhooks instead of email.

The email will arrive 20 to 30 seconds after it is sent.

In this respect, webhooks are much more immediate than email.

This feature is available to paid TradingView users.
