How to Automate TradingView Alerts with Controlled Broker Execution

An alert can become a controlled broker action. Here is the sequence, step by step.

What an alert is

An alert on its own is a statement about the market, not an instruction to trade. What turns one into the other is a set of rules written in advance, evaluated the moment the alert arrives, and applied the same way every time. That is the part most descriptions leave out, and it is the part that decides whether automation is something you control or something that happens to you. The sequence is deliberate: the alert is received, the conditions are checked against the definition you saved, the size is resolved from the configuration rather than from the alert, and only then is anything sent onward. Each step is observable, and each one can refuse.
