What are web-hooks?

Web-hooks allow sending POST-requests to specific URL-addresses every time a notification set by you in TradingView is triggered. This feature can be turned on when creating or editing the notifications in TradingView. Add the correct URL-address from the MoonBot settings and once a notification will be triggered, your command will be sent to MoonBot for execution.

This feature is only available for participants of the MoonTrader ICO.

Setting up the Client/Server.

To receive commands from TradingView, you should create a rule with a white-list of IP addresses for Windows Firewall.

1. Go to “Run” (or use the shortcut Win+R) type in wf.msc and hit ОК.

You must put in all the following IP addresses one by one:

52.89.214.238

34.212.75.30

54.218.53.128

Setting up MoonBot to receive WebHook commands.

Check the box Detect by WebHook in the Auto Buy tab .

Next to this check-box there is a URL address that should be used when setting up notifications in TradingView.

You should also change some settings for the Bot to read the tokens from the messages:

1. Check the box “Special filters”.

2. The “Keywords” check box is not mandatory but you can use it as a filter as well.

3. The check-box “Purchase tokens with Tag” is necessary for buying on messages in which the token is named ***BTC, for this you must type # before the token, for example: #ALGOBTC. Without this check-box, the Bot might purchase if the message will include just the token, for example: ALGO.

4. All other parameters are described on the website in the “Instructions” section and can be set according to your own preferences.
