Practical overview

When it fits

Use Whook when you want TradingView alerts to drive market or limit orders on a supported perpetual-futures account and can configure exchange API credentials and the alert syntax.

Who it is for

  • TradingView strategy users who want alerts to place or adjust futures positions on an exchange.
  • People configuring API credentials and alert messages for supported exchange accounts.

Documented uses

  • Route a TradingView alert to a futures buy, sell or target position-size order.
  • Open or adjust a position, close it fully or by percentage, and change leverage.
  • Place limit orders with custom IDs and cancel an identified order or all orders for a symbol.
  • Express order size as base currency, USDT, contracts or a percentage of the USDT balance.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and licensed under MIT. The README says users can download main.py without cloning the repository and describes API credentials configured in accounts.json.

  • Whook supports market and limit orders; take-profit and stop-loss orders are not supported.
  • It uses one-way position mode; hedge mode is unsupported.
  • The README lists KuCoin Futures, Bitget, CoinEx, BingX, OKX, Bybit, Binance Futures, Phemex and Kraken Futures; the maintainer cautions that OKX and Binance support may be outdated and is not guaranteed.
  • The project retries rejected orders for up to 40 seconds, may reduce order size when funds are insufficient, and can split position reversals.
  • Alert messages require an account ID and supported command syntax; limit orders need unique custom IDs.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up exchange account configuration

Create Whook's account configuration file and enter credentials for an exchange account.

Before you start

  • The Whook main.py script.
  • An exchange API key and secret key.
  • An API password for KuCoin or Bitget; other exchanges may or may not require one.

Steps

  1. Launch the script once; it creates an accounts.json template and exits with a no-accounts-found error.

  2. Fill in the account ID, exchange name, API key and secret key in accounts.json.

  3. Set the margin mode to isolated or cross; isolated is the default. Add a password where the exchange requires one.

Expected outcome

An accounts.json file contains the account details Whook uses to identify the alert target and connect to the exchange.

Guide limitations

  • The setup instructions do not establish the subsequent launch or webhook-hosting procedure.
  • Only one settlement coin can be used per account; separate accounts are needed for different settlement coins.
  • The README warns that OKX and Binance support may be out of date and is not guaranteed.
