Getting live takes three things working together: your algo on TradingView, a bridge, and a webhook alert that ties them to your broker. Follow the steps in order and you'll be trading on autopilot in about 15 minutes.
1Confirm your algo access on TradingView
2Set up your bridge to your broker or prop account
3Configure the webhook alert in TradingView
01
Confirm your algo access
Right after checkout we grant your TradingView username access to the strategy — there's nothing to download or copy-paste. It simply appears in your account.
Within 15 minutes of purchase, your strategy shows up under Invite-only scripts in the TradingView Indicators window. To load it onto a chart:
Open any chart and click Indicators in the top toolbar.
Select the Invite-only scripts tab.
Click your strategy (e.g. PS-1) to add it to the chart.

Don't see it after 15 minutes?
Double-check the TradingView username you entered at checkout, then just shoot us a message — we'll fix it for you and grant access manually, usually within the hour.
02
Set up your bridge
TradingView generates the signal; your broker executes the trade. A bridge is the service that sits in between — it receives each TradingView alert and turns it into a real order on your account. Pick one of the two below. Both are fully supported.
ⓘThe bridge is a third-party service you sign up for separately — it is not included in your Plain Street subscription. We never get access to your funds; you stay in full control of every execution.
PickMyTrade
Popular for futures & prop firms. Supports Tradovate, Rithmic and more.
This is the connection that makes it live. You'll create one alert on the strategy and paste in the code from the bridge you set up in Step 2.
On the chart with your strategy added, open the Alerts panel (the clock icon on the right) and click Create alert.
Set the Condition to your strategy (e.g. PS-1) so the alert fires on its signals — leave it on Order fills and alert() function calls.
In the Message box, paste the JSON message code from your bridge.
Open the Notifications tab, enable Webhook URL, and paste your bridge's webhook URL.
Click Create.

That's it — you're live.
Every signal is now sent to your bridge and executed on your account automatically — 24/7, even with your computer off.
TIP
Keep the alert running — if you delete it or let it expire, execution stops. On paid TradingView plans, alerts run on TradingView's servers, so you don't need your browser open.
