How to update the algo in TradingView

Every so often we ship an improvement to a strategy. Applying it is quick: confirm the update with a single click — exactly like updating any other indicator on TradingView — then re-point your webhook alert at the new version. Your settings, alert message, and webhook URL all stay in place.

01

Spot the update

When an update is available, a purple update badge appears next to the strategy's name — in the chart legend (the indicator list in the top-left corner of your chart) and in the Indicators window. It's the same purple update marker TradingView shows for any invite-only or community script.

Don't see it yet? A chart that was already open when the update went out doesn't know about it until it reloads. Refresh the page — Cmd+R on Mac, Ctrl+R on Windows — and the badge appears. That works the same in the TradingView desktop app as in a browser tab.

02

Apply it

Click the purple update sign once to confirm the update. That's the whole process — the strategy reloads on your chart with the new version, exactly like confirming an update on any other indicator.

03

Re-point your webhook alert

Your existing alert keeps firing from the version it was created with, so point it at the new version too:

  1. Open the Alerts panel (the clock icon on the right side of TradingView).
  2. Hover your strategy's alert and click the gear icon (Edit).
  3. Under Condition, select the latest version of your strategy.
  4. Click Save.
Done — you're on the latest version.
Nothing else to re-add — the alert keeps its JSON message and webhook URL, and your strategy settings carry over. Run through these steps whenever you see the purple badge, so your alert is always trading the best version.
