⚙️ Settings Guide

🔔 Discord Notifications

Master switch for all trade alerts. When disabled, no notifications will be sent regardless of other settings.

📊 Include Symbol Info

Shows the trading symbol (AAPL, TSLA, EURUSD, etc.) in notifications. Helpful for identifying which asset the trade is for.

🕐 Include Time

Displays the execution time in New York timezone (Eastern Time) for all trade notifications. Time is shown in 24-hour format (HH:MM:SS) and automatically adjusts for daylight saving time.

📸 Include Screenshots

Automatically captures TradingView chart screenshots when trades execute.

Important: Screenshots require:

• TradingView to be the active browser tab
• Clicking the extension icon once per browser session to activate permissions
• After activation, screenshots work automatically

⚠️ Privacy Note: Screenshots are cropped to show mainly the chart area, but if your Trading Panel is open, it will also be included in the screenshot. This panel may contain sensitive information like account balance, positions, and other private trading details. Hide the Trading Panel before executing trades if you don’t want this information visible in Discord screenshots.

🔄 Reset Position Tracking

Clears the extension’s memory of your current positions. Use this if:

• The extension incorrectly thinks you have open positions
• You want to start tracking fresh from a flat position

📊 Manual Position Input

Solves cross-device synchronization issues when switching browsers or computers.

🎯 Purpose

When you switch browsers or computers, the extension loses memory of your current positions. Manual Position Input allows you to set your current positions so the extension can accurately track partial closes, full exits, and position reversals. At least one order must be placed or executed for the symbol to appear in the list.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

No Notifications Appearing

1. Verify Webhook: Use the 🧪 Test button to confirm Discord connection
2. Check Settings: Ensure 🔔 Discord Notifications is enabled
3. Reload Page: Refresh TradingView after changing settings
4. Check TradingView Settings: Settings -> Trading -> Disable “Show only rejection notifications”

Screenshots Not Working

1. Active Tab: TradingView must be the active browser tab
2. Permissions: Click the extension icon once per browser session
3. Enable Setting: Ensure 📸 Include Screenshots is turned on
4. Browser Permissions: Check if browser blocked screenshot permissions

Webhook Errors

• Invalid URL: Ensure webhook URL starts with https://discord.com/api/webhooks/
• Deleted Webhook: Verify the webhook still exists in Discord
• Server Permissions: Confirm the webhook has permission to post in the channel

Position Tracking Issues

• Use 🔄 Reset Position Tracking to clear incorrect position data. Use this only when you have no open positions, as it resets the memory back to 0. It will not work correctly if positions are currently open.
• The extension learns your positions from trade executions, not from TradingView’s position display
• Use 📊 Manual Position Input when switching devices or when positions get out of sync

Position Detection
