Overview

This node creates a new order webhook for trading strategies on the AlphaInsider platform. It is useful for automating trades by sending order details such as strategy ID, stock ID, action, and leverage to the AlphaInsider API. Practical applications include integrating real-time trading strategies with brokers or exchanges to automate buying, selling, or managing stock positions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate a buy order for a specific stock using a predefined strategy.
  2. Send a sell or close order webhook to manage open positions automatically.
  3. Use leverage settings to control the risk level of trades executed via webhook.

Leverage The leverage multiplier to apply to the trade, ranging from 0 to 2.

  • strategy_id - The ID of the strategy used in the order.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and valid to avoid authentication errors.
  • Verify that the strategy_id and stock_id are correctly formatted and exist in the AlphaInsider system to prevent order rejection.
  • Check network settings such as proxy and SSL options if requests fail due to connectivity or certificate issues.
  • Adjust timeout and batching settings if requests are timing out or being throttled by the server.
