Trade from your code with Thor's webhook API

At a glance

Send your first order in 3 steps

1. In the Thor dashboard, open the Connections List, press Add Connection and choose TradingView. Press Copy URL, then Add my TradingView webhook and Save. The connection carries TradingView's name, but it takes orders from any program.
2. In the Accounts List, add a copy link with the webhook as its leader, and set each follower's size. Start with a Sim account.
3. Send an order. Thor answers {"ok":true}, and the order appears in the connection's Live alerts list.

curl -X POST "https://app.thortradecopier.com/hooks/tv/YOUR-TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol":"MNQ","action":"buy","quantity":1}'

The order message

The templates below use placeholders such as STOP_PRICE, so they are not valid JSON to paste: put in your own prices.

• Buy with a stop and target{"symbol":"MNQ","action":"buy","quantity":2,"sl":STOP_PRICE,"tp":TARGET_PRICE}
• Take 1 off a long of 2{"symbol":"MNQ","action":"sell","quantity":1}
• Close the whole position{"symbol":"MNQ","action":"close"}
• Move the stop{"symbol":"MNQ","update_sl":true,"sl":NEW_STOP_PRICE}

What Thor answers

How Thor places your order

• Entries go in at market. There are no resting limit or stop entries.
• Each URL keeps one net position per symbol, like a futures account. A second buy adds to the first, and a sell reduces it.
• Every account that follows gets the order at its own size: a multiplier or a fixed size.
• Futures accounts (Rithmic, Tradovate, ProjectX, dxFeed, TFeed) get a real stop and a real limit, and when one fills Thor cancels the other. On MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, DXTrade and TradeLocker the levels sit on the position. NinjaTrader accounts copy fills only, without the levels.

Rules for programs

1. Send Content-Type: application/json (or text/plain). Without it, Thor can't read the order.
2. Send one request at a time and wait for the answer. Parallel requests can arrive in a different order.
3. Every request is placed, even an identical one. After a timeout, check your positions before sending it again.
4. {"ok":true} means received, not filled. Check the Live alerts list or GET /api/v1/positions.
5. Use only the words in the table. Thor reads any word starting with buy, long, sell or short as an entry.
6. Whole contracts only. A fractional size is not placed. A size of 0 places 1 contract, and a negative size is read as positive.
7. Send orders only while the connection is on. After Regenerate URL, update your program: the old URL still answers {"ok":true}, but nothing is placed.
8. If Thor restarts or the connection is switched off and on while a position is open, the webhook starts flat. Close those positions with Flatten in the dashboard, or with POST /api/v1/positions/flatten.
9. Call it from a server or a script, not from a web page: browsers block the request.
10. Thor is built for strategy orders, not high-frequency trading.

Examples

Replace YOUR-TOKEN with the token from your webhook URL. Each example sends a buy, then a close. Try them on a Sim account first.

curl

macOS, Linux and Git Bash.

curl -X POST "https://app.thortradecopier.com/hooks/tv/YOUR-TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol":"MNQ","action":"buy","quantity":1}'

curl -X POST "https://app.thortradecopier.com/hooks/tv/YOUR-TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol":"MNQ","action":"close"}'

Python

Install the library once: pip install requests.

import requests

URL = "https://app.thortradecopier.com/hooks/tv/YOUR-TOKEN"

def send(order):
    r = requests.post(URL, json=order, timeout=10)
    print(r.status_code, r.text)

send({"symbol": "MNQ", "action": "buy", "quantity": 1})
send({"symbol": "MNQ", "action": "close"})

Node.js

Node.js 18 or newer. Save as order.mjs and run node order.mjs.

const URL = "https://app.thortradecopier.com/hooks/tv/YOUR-TOKEN";

async function send(order) {
  const res = await fetch(URL, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify(order),
  });
  console.log(res.status, await res.text());
}

await send({ symbol: "MNQ", action: "buy", quantity: 1 });
await send({ symbol: "MNQ", action: "close" });

From TradingView

Paste the URL in the alert's Notifications tab (Webhook URL) and the message in its Message box. The dashboard's message builder writes the message for you.

TradingView's own rules (TradingView help, checked 10 November 2026):

• Webhooks need two-factor authentication on your TradingView account.
• A JSON message is sent as application/json, anything else as text/plain.
• The receiver must answer within 3 seconds, and Thor answers at once.

Moving from PickMyTrade, TradersPost, PineConnector or Copygram? Keep your alert message as it is and change only the URL.

Watch: How to use TradingView Webhooks to copy your accounts

Read and control your accounts: the REST API

Create a key in the dashboard under API, then send X-API-Key and X-API-Secret with every request to https://app.thortradecopier.com. You get 100 requests a minute per key.

curl "https://app.thortradecopier.com/api/v1/positions" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR-KEY" \
  -H "X-API-Secret: YOUR-SECRET"

What it does not do

• No resting limit or stop entries.
• Futures symbols only: no crypto or forex symbols in the message.
• Whole contracts only.
• No order id in the answer.
• Not built for high-frequency trading.
