What Are DaviddTech Strategies?
DaviddTech creates automated trading strategies for TradingView that are designed to be deployed directly from the platform. Each strategy is a Pine Script strategy with built-in entry logic, exit conditions, take profit levels, and stop loss management. They are not just signals or alerts: they are complete trading systems packaged as TradingView scripts.
The strategies are popular among the TradingView community because they come with extensive backtesting results, clearly defined rules, and are ready to deploy without requiring Pine Script knowledge. DaviddTech publishes strategies for various market conditions, including trend-following systems, mean reversion setups, and breakout strategies across multiple timeframes and asset classes.
Each DaviddTech strategy outputs its signals through TradingView standard strategy framework. This means the signals are accessible via TradingView alert system, which can trigger webhooks. The missing piece has always been reliable execution: getting those strategy signals to actually place orders on an exchange automatically, with the correct position size, direction, and risk parameters.
This is where Flipr.Cloud comes in. By connecting DaviddTech strategy alerts to Flipr webhooks, every signal from the strategy becomes an executable trade. The strategy fires, TradingView sends a webhook to Flipr, and the order is placed on your exchange within milliseconds. No manual execution, no missed entries, no emotional interference.
Prerequisites
Before setting up automation for a DaviddTech strategy, ensure you have the following ready.
- DaviddTech Strategy — Get access to a DaviddTech strategy (free with an affiliate exchange signup or via their Patreon subscription) and add it to your TradingView account. The strategy should appear in your TradingView indicators list once access is granted.
- TradingView Account (Essential plan or higher) — Webhooks require a paid TradingView plan. The Essential plan is the minimum required. Higher plans allow more simultaneous alerts, which is useful if you run multiple strategies.
- Flipr.Cloud Account — Sign up at flipr.cloud. The 7-day free trial gives you access to all Pro features with no credit card required, so you can test your DaviddTech automation setup before committing to a paid plan.
- Exchange Account with API Key in Flipr — Add your exchange API key (with Trade permission only) to the Flipr.Cloud dashboard. Supported exchanges include Binance, ByBit, BloFin, OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitget, and 10+ more.
Verify Strategy on Chart First
Before setting up automation, make sure the DaviddTech strategy loads correctly on your chart, shows signals (buy/sell arrows or labels), and displays reasonable backtest results in the strategy tester. If the strategy does not show signals on the chart, it will not generate alerts.
DaviddTech Strategy Placeholders
DaviddTech strategies are invite-only: you cannot view or edit the Pine Script code. Instead, you configure the strategy through its input fields in the TradingView settings modal (TP levels, SL distance, position size, etc.). Each input field has a corresponding placeholder that you can use in your TradingView alert message.
When the alert fires, the strategy automatically replaces each placeholder with the calculated value. For example, if the strategy calculates a long take profit at 68,500, then #LongTPFULL# in your alert message becomes 68500 before the webhook is sent to Flipr.
Entry / Exit
#close#Close price at the time of the signal
Long Take Profit Levels
#LongTP1#First long TP price
#LongTP2#Second long TP price
#LongTPFULL#Final long TP price (full close)
Short Take Profit Levels
#ShortTP1#First short TP price
#ShortTP2#Second short TP price
#ShortTPFULL#Final short TP price (full close)
Stop Loss
#LongSL#Long stop loss price
#ShortSL#Short stop loss price
Partial Close Amounts
#TakeAmount1#Percentage to close at TP1
#TakeAmount2#Percentage to close at TP2
#TakeAmountFULL#Percentage to close at final TP (100%)
Since these placeholders resolve to absolute prices, use the @ (or at) prefix in Smart Syntax to set SL/TP at those exact price levels.

How It Works
You write the placeholder text (e.g. #LongSL#) directly in the TradingView alert message field. When the strategy signal fires, TradingView replaces each placeholder with the actual number before sending the webhook to Flipr. Flipr receives the final values, not the placeholder text.
Mapping DaviddTech Signals to Smart Syntax
Since DaviddTech strategies fire separate alerts for long entries, short entries, and exits, you create a dedicated TradingView alert for each signal type. Each alert has its own webhook message written in Smart Syntax with the appropriate DaviddTech placeholders.
Long Entry Alert
Create an alert triggered by the strategy long entry condition. The message uses DaviddTech placeholders for the SL and TP levels calculated by the strategy.
Long Entry with Strategy SL/TP
Short Entry Alert
Create a separate alert for short entries, using the short-side placeholders.
Short Entry with Strategy SL/TP
Exit Alert
For exit signals, use close all (or equivalently pos 0) to close the entire position. Create a separate alert triggered by the strategy exit condition.
Exit Alert Message
Reversal Signal (Close + Open)
Some DaviddTech strategies reverse positions directly (from long to short or vice versa). Handle this with a multi-command message that closes the existing position and opens a new one.
Reversal: Close Current Position, Open Long
Alternative: Fixed Offset SL/TP
If you prefer to set your own risk levels instead of using the strategy calculated values, you can use fixed percentage offsets from the entry price.
Fixed Offset (No Placeholders)
Step-by-Step Setup
Follow these steps to connect a DaviddTech strategy to Flipr.Cloud for automated execution.
- Add the DaviddTech strategy to your chart. Open TradingView, navigate to the symbol and timeframe recommended by the strategy documentation, and add the strategy from your indicator list. Configure any strategy-specific settings as recommended.
- Verify signals on the chart. Scroll through recent price action and confirm the strategy shows buy/sell signals (arrows, labels, or markers). Open the Strategy Tester tab to review backtest performance. If no signals appear, check the strategy settings and the selected timeframe.
- Create a TradingView alert. Click the Alert button (clock icon) or press
Alt + A. In the Condition dropdown, select the DaviddTech strategy name. Choose the appropriate alert condition (typically "Order Fills Only" for strategy alerts). - Set the webhook URL. In the Notifications tab, enable "Webhook URL" and paste your Flipr.Cloud webhook URL from the dashboard. The URL format is
https://flipr.cloud/webhook/your_user_id/your_token. - Write the alert message. In the Message field, write your Smart Syntax command with DaviddTech placeholders for the strategy TP/SL levels. Create separate alerts for long and short entries:
Long Entry Alert Message
Short Entry Alert Message
- Test with minimum position size. Use the smallest possible position size for your first test. Open the Flipr Real-Time Log on your dashboard and wait for the strategy to generate a signal. Verify the order appears on your exchange.
- Monitor via Flipr Real-Time Log. The Real-Time Log shows every webhook received, the parsed command, execution result, and timing. Green entries are successful trades. Red entries show errors with specific messages that help you diagnose issues.
Alert Frequency
Set the alert frequency to "Once Per Bar Close" for strategy-based alerts. This ensures the signal is confirmed at bar close before the webhook fires. "Every Tick" may cause multiple webhooks for the same signal if the condition flickers during the bar.
Recommended Exchanges for DaviddTech
DaviddTech strategies work with any Flipr-supported exchange. The Smart Syntax commands are identical across all exchanges. Here are the most popular options among DaviddTech users.
ByBit Futures
Fast execution and popular among the DaviddTech community. Good API reliability, competitive fees, and support for a wide range of trading pairs. Use ByBit_F in your webhook header.
BloFin Futures
Growing platform with good execution speed. Flipr routes BloFin orders through its Tokyo server for low-latency connectivity. Use BloFin_F in your webhook header.
Binance Futures
The deepest liquidity available, ideal for strategies that trade high volume or require minimal slippage on large positions. Use Binance_F in your webhook header.
All other Flipr-supported exchanges (OKX, Kraken, KuCoin, Bitget, HTX, Bitunix, Phemex, MEXC, CoinEx, BitMEX, Toobit, Bitfinex) work identically. The only difference is the exchange name in the header line of your webhook message.
Common Issues and Solutions
Most issues with DaviddTech automation are related to alert configuration or signal mapping. Here are the most frequently encountered problems and their solutions.
Strategy Not Firing Alerts
- Verify the strategy is properly loaded on your chart and shows signals (buy/sell markers).
- Ensure the alert condition is set to the strategy name, not a price level or different indicator.
- Check that the strategy is on the correct symbol and timeframe as recommended in the DaviddTech documentation.
- Make sure the alert has not expired. TradingView alerts on Essential/Plus plans expire after 2 months.
Wrong Side (Bought Instead of Sold)
- Make sure you have separate alerts for long and short entries, each with the correct direction (
market longvsmarket short) and the matching placeholders (#LongSL#vs#ShortSL#). - Verify the alert condition is linked to the correct strategy signal. A long entry alert should only fire on long signals, not on exits or short signals.
- Check which alert condition type to use. Most DaviddTech strategies work with "Order Fills Only".
Position Size Too Large or Too Small
- The position size in your webhook message is independent of the strategy backtest size. Set it according to your actual risk management rules.
- Use absolute amounts (e.g.,
0.01) for fixed sizing, or percentage of balance (e.g.,50%) for proportional sizing. - Check the exchange minimum order size for the trading pair. Orders below the minimum will be rejected by the exchange.
Webhook Received but Order Rejected
- Check the Flipr Real-Time Log for the specific error message. Common causes include insufficient balance, invalid symbol, or API key permission issues.
- Ensure your funds are in the Futures wallet, not the Spot wallet.
- Verify the symbol format matches what the exchange expects (e.g.,
BTCUSDT, notBTC/USDT).
Always Test First
Before running any DaviddTech strategy live, test the full pipeline with the smallest possible position size. Verify the alert fires, the webhook is received (check the Real-Time Log), and the order appears on your exchange. Only scale up after confirming everything works correctly.
