Algo Troubleshooting
Common algo and TradingView issues.
I do not see my algos on TradingView
Check the following:
- —You activated the algos in the GFREQ portal (not just subscribed)
- —Your TradingView username in the portal matches exactly (case-sensitive)
- —You are looking in Indicators → Invite-only scripts, not the public library
- —Wait 2-3 minutes after activation and refresh TradingView
My alerts are not firing webhooks
Webhook alerts require a paid TradingView plan (Pro, Pro+, or Premium). The free plan does not support webhooks. Also verify:
- —The alert condition is set to your GFREQ strategy
- —The webhook URL checkbox is enabled in the alert notifications
- —The alert has not expired — check the alert manager for its status
Which algo should I start with?
If you are on the Starter plan, review the available algos in the portal and check their backtesting results on TradingView. Look for an algo that matches your risk tolerance and trading schedule. Algos that trade ES/MES are generally lower volatility than NQ/MNQ algos. Start with a sim account to observe the strategy before going live.
Are past results indicative of future performance?
No. Past performance, whether from backtesting or live trading, does not guarantee future results. Market conditions change. All algo trading carries risk. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
Can I modify the algo settings?
GFREQ algos are invite-only (locked) Pine Scripts. You cannot modify the strategy logic. However, you can adjust some parameters through the settings panel (gear icon) on TradingView, such as order size and the contract to trade. The default settings represent the published configuration.
How many contracts should I trade?
Position size depends on your account size and risk tolerance. A common guideline is to risk no more than 1-2% of your account on any single trade. Start with 1 MES contract (1/10th the size of ES) while you learn the system, then scale up based on your results and comfort level.
