Getting Started

Setting up SignalPipe with Capital.com takes about 10 minutes. Follow these steps to connect your account and start receiving automated trades from TradingView.

Prerequisites

• An active vyn premium or SignalPipe subscription on Blockresearch
• A Capital.com account (free to create at capital.com)
• A TradingView account with the vyn premium strategy added to your chart

Step 1: Create Your Capital.com Account

If you do not already have a Capital.com account:

1. Go to capital.com and sign up
2. Complete the account verification process
3. You can start with a demo account (virtual money) -- no deposit required

Step 2: Generate a Capital.com API Key

1. Log into your Capital.com account
2. Navigate to Settings > API Integrations (or visit the API management section)
3. Generate a new API key
4. Note down your API key, account email, and the password you set for API access

Recommendation: Start with demo mode. This lets you verify your entire setup is working correctly before risking real money.

Step 3: Connect Capital.com to Blockresearch

1. Log into the Blockresearch dashboard at app.blockresearch.ai
2. Navigate to SignalPipe from the sidebar
3. Switch to Capital.com using the broker selector in the top right
4. Go to the Settings tab
5. Select Demo or Live trading mode
6. Enter your API Key, Email, and Password
7. Click Connect

The system will validate your credentials by creating a test session with the Capital.com API. Once verified, your credentials are encrypted with AES-256-CBC and stored securely. The raw credentials are never stored.

Step 4: Configure Your Trading Settings

After connecting, configure the following settings on the same page:

• Max Active Deals -- The maximum number of open positions at any time (default: 3)
• Take-Profit Percentage -- The profit target for automatic position closes (default: 5%)
• Automation Enabled -- Must be toggled ON for orders to execute

Step 5: Copy Your Webhook URL and Secret

The Settings page displays two critical values:

1. Webhook URL -- The full URL that TradingView will send alerts to
2. SignalPipe Secret -- Your unique authentication token

Copy both of these. You will need them in the next step.

Note: Your SignalPipe Secret is the same for both Alpaca and Capital.com connections. If you already have a secret from an Alpaca connection, it will be reused.

Step 6: Configure TradingView Alerts

1. Open your TradingView chart with the vyn premium strategy
2. In the vyn premium settings, select "Blockresearch" from the "Execution Platform" dropdown
3. Paste your SignalPipe Secret into the "Pointer" field
4. Set your desired Base Order Size, Safety Order Volume Scale, Max Safety Trade Count, and Take Profit percentage
5. Create an alert on the vyn premium strategy:

Step 7: Verify Your Setup

After creating the alert, watch the Log tab on your SignalPipe page. When the next signal fires, you should see:

1. A "Webhook signal received" entry
2. An "Order placed" entry
3. A "Deal opened" entry

You can also use the Test tab to send a manual test order without waiting for a real signal.

If you are using demo mode, you can also verify the position appeared in your Capital.com demo account.

Tip: If you want to test immediately without waiting for a real signal, you can temporarily set the vyn premium start date to an earlier time to trigger historical signals. Remember to set it back to the current time afterward.
