Action Confirmation

Choose which trading actions require an additional confirmation dialog before execution.

Cancel orders

  • Enable: A confirmation dialog is displayed before canceling orders.

  • Disable: Orders are canceled immediately without confirmation.

This setting applies to single and bulk order cancellations from the Open Orders widget and the Price chart.

The confirmation dialog includes a "Don't ask again" checkbox. To skip the confirmation for future order cancellations, check this box.

Full Close Positions

  • Enable: A confirmation dialog is displayed before closing positions.

  • Disable: Positions are closed immediately without confirmation.

This setting applies to single and bulk position closures from the Open Positions widget.

Limit order cross-TOB warning

  • Enable: A confirmation dialog is displayed before a Limit order is submitted if its price crosses the current top-of-book — that is, when a Buy price is at or above the best ask, or a Sell price is at or below the best bid. The dialog shows the entered price and the current best bid/ask, and includes a Do not show this warning again checkbox.

  • Disable: Crossing Limit orders are submitted immediately without the warning.

The warning is enabled by default. The dialog checkbox and this toggle share the same global setting and stay in sync.

The warning is informational only — it does not block the order. If you confirm, the order is submitted with the original price. The warning applies only to standard Limit orders; Stop-limit, Take-profit-limit, IOC, FOK, and other order types are not affected. If best bid or best ask data is unavailable (empty book or disconnected feed), the order is submitted without the warning.

TradingView Webhooks

Use TradingView Webhooks to automatically execute orders on your trading account based on alerts from TradingView. When a TradingView alert triggers, it sends a webhook request to B2TRADER, which places an order according to the parameters specified in the alert message.

This feature supports all market types: Spot, CFD, and Perpetual Futures.

Set up the webhook

The popup displays the generated API key and the webhook URL. Copy both values and store them securely.

The following limits apply:

  • Maximum 10 active keys per user

  • Each key is valid for 1 year from creation

  • Keys can be revoked at any time

Step 2: Configure the alert in TradingView

  1. In TradingView, create a new alert or edit an existing one.

  2. In the Notifications section, enable Webhook URL.

  3. Paste the webhook URL copied from the terminal.
