Sending Alerts to 3Commas DCA Bots
3Commas is a popular trading bot platform that supports DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) bots triggered by TradingView alerts.
Step 1: Create a DCA Bot in 3Commas
- Log in to your 3Commas account
- Go to Bots and click Create Bot > DCA Bot
- Configure your bot settings (exchange, pair, order size, safety orders, take profit, etc.)
- Under Deal start conditions, select TradingView custom signal
- Click Save
Step 2: Get Your Bot Credentials
After saving, 3Commas will display:
- bot_id — Your bot's unique identifier
- email_token — Your authentication token
Copy both values. You will need them for the alert message.
Step 3: Set Up the TradingView Alert
- Create an alert on block algo flex (see How to set up alerts)
- Enter the 3Commas webhook URL:
https://3commas.io/trade_signal/trading_view
- In the Message field, paste the message template provided by 3Commas. It will look something like:
{
"message_type": "bot",
"bot_id": YOUR_BOT_ID,
"email_token": "YOUR_EMAIL_TOKEN",
"delay_seconds": 0
}
- Replace
YOUR_BOT_IDandYOUR_EMAIL_TOKENwith the values from Step 2 - Click Create
Step 4: Test Your Setup
After creating the alert, monitor your 3Commas dashboard to confirm that deals open when block algo flex signals fire.
Tip: Start with a small position size or use 3Commas paper trading to verify everything works before going live.
