Why did my TradingView alert expire?

TradingView alerts have an expiration. A standard alert lasts two months at most, and on Premium and Ultimate you can leave it open-ended. When the date passes, the alert stops and sends no more webhooks, so a Nyria bot sits idle with nothing wrong on its side. Open the alert manager, recreate the alert with the same webhook URL and message, and the bot trades on the next alert.

Official documentation

Bring an expired alert back

  1. 1

    Open the alert manager

    In TradingView, open the Alerts panel and look at the expiration shown on the alert. An alert past its date is switched off.

  2. 2

    Copy the webhook URL and message

    Open the expired alert and copy the URL from Notifications and the text from Message. Each Nyria strategy keeps the same URL.

  3. 3

    Create the alert again

    Create a new alert on the same chart, indicator or strategy. Open Message, paste the message and select Apply. Open Notifications, tick Webhook URL, paste the URL and select Apply.

  4. 4

    Choose the expiration

    Set the date to the longest your plan allows. Premium and Ultimate also offer an open-ended alert. Leave the Timer setting off unless you want the alert to stop.

  5. 5

    Check the next alert

    When the alert next fires, read the order in the bot's Logs tab. A paper bot shows it at once.

Why an alert stops

  • The expiration passed. A standard alert lasts two months at most.
  • The Timer setting on the alert reached its end and switched the alert off.
  • The alert was set to fire only once, and it already has.
  • An alert made more than a year ago that never fired and was never edited is turned off by TradingView.

What happens on the Nyria side

  • Nyria acts only when an alert arrives. No alert means no order, and no error.
  • The bot, its broker connection and its settings are untouched, so nothing there needs fixing.
  • A new alert pointed at the same strategy URL carries on with the same bot.
  • A paper bot is a safe place to test the recreated alert before the next live alert.

Keep it from happening again

  • Put the expiration date for each alert in your calendar.
  • Check TradingView's pricing page for the alert duration on your plan.
  • Read each bot's Logs tab now and then. A bot with no recent orders is worth a look at its alert.

Questions

How long does a TradingView alert last?
A standard alert lasts two months at most. Premium and Ultimate plans can leave an alert open-ended.
Does Nyria warn me when my TradingView alert expires?
No. Nyria only sees alerts that arrive, and an expired alert sends nothing. Track the expiration on the TradingView side.
Do I need a new webhook URL after the alert expires?
No. The strategy's URL stays the same. Paste it into the new alert and the same bot receives it.
Can I extend an alert instead of recreating it?
Open the alert in TradingView and edit its expiration where your plan allows it. If the alert has already run out, recreate it.
