Set Up Your Account

Link your Google Sheet, generate a webhook URL, and test your connection in under 10 minutes.

This guide walks you through account setup from sign-up to your first test signal. The process has six steps: sign up, link your Google Sheet, generate a webhook URL, optionally connect Telegram, test the connection, and finish setup.

Step 1: Sign up

Go to execute.moneyplication.in/signup and sign in with your Google account. This creates your Execute account and drops you into the setup wizard.

Execute uses Google SSO exclusively. No passwords to manage — your Google account is your identity.

Step 2: Link your Google Sheet

Execute reads your broker credentials from a Google Sheet that you own. This is the non-custodial credential model: your API keys live in your spreadsheet, not in our database.

Create the sheet

1. Create a new Google Sheet (or copy the template if one is provided in the setup wizard).
2. Name the first tab AccountConfig (exact spelling, case-sensitive).
3. Add these columns in row 1:

enabled | account_id | api_key | api_secret | token | broker

1. Fill in one row per broker account:

Column	What to enter
enabled	TRUE to activate this account, FALSE to pause it
account_id	A name you choose for this account (e.g., main, ira, margin-1)
api_key	Your broker's API key
api_secret	Your broker's API secret (Zerodha). Leave blank for IBKR.
token	Your broker access token (refreshed via your broker's login flow). Leave blank for IBKR.
broker	Your broker identifier: ibkr, zerodha, or another supported broker

Share with the service account

The setup wizard displays a service account email address. Share your Google Sheet with this email as a Viewer (read-only access is sufficient).

This is how Execute reads your credentials without storing them. You can revoke access at any time by removing the service account from your sheet's sharing settings.

Paste the URL

Copy your Google Sheet URL and paste it into the input field in the setup wizard. Click Validate & Link.

Execute verifies three things:

• The sheet is accessible via the service account
• An AccountConfig tab exists
• The required columns (enabled, account_id, api_key, api_secret, token, broker) are present in row 1

If validation fails, check that:

• You shared the sheet with the correct service account email
• The tab is named exactly AccountConfig (not "Account Config" or "accountconfig")
• All six required columns exist in row 1

Step 3: Generate your webhook URL

Click Generate Webhook URL in the setup wizard. Execute creates a unique, cryptographically random URL tied to your account.

This is the URL you paste into TradingView alert webhooks (or any system that sends HTTP POST requests). When an alert fires, it hits this URL, and Execute processes the signal.

Webhook message format

TradingView alerts send a plain-text message body. Format your alert message like this:

ENTRY AAPL 185.50 1 SL:180.00 5 STRAT:myalgo

The fields are:

Field	Values	Description
Action	ENTRY or EXIT	Whether to open or close a position
Symbol	AAPL, ES, MSFT	Instrument identifier
Price	185.50	Signal price (used for risk calculation)
Direction	1 (long) or -1 (short)	Trade direction
SL	SL:180.00	Stop Loss price (SL:0 for no stop)
Timeframe	5	Entry candle timeframe in minutes
Strategy	STRAT:myalgo	Strategy tag (optional, used for sizing and analytics)

Execute uses TradingView's built-in variables in the message. For example, {{ticker}} resolves to the chart symbol and {{close}} resolves to the current price.

Step 4: Link Telegram (optional)

Enter your Telegram chat ID to receive trade notifications — entries, exits, SL adjustments, and errors — directly in Telegram.

This step is optional. You can skip it during setup and configure it later from your account settings.

To find your chat ID:

1. Start a conversation with @userinfobot on Telegram
2. It replies with your chat ID (a number, possibly negative for group chats)
3. Paste that number into the setup wizard

Step 5: Test your connection

Click Run Test in the setup wizard. This sends a test ping through your webhook URL to verify the full chain: webhook reception, account lookup, and broker connectivity.

No orders are placed during the test. It validates that:

• Your webhook URL resolves correctly
• Your account is found and enabled
• The system can read your Google Sheet

If the test fails:

• "Webhook key not recognized" — regenerate your webhook URL
• "Account is disabled" — set enabled to TRUE in your AccountConfig sheet
• "Service temporarily unavailable" — wait a minute and retry

Step 6: Finish setup

Click Finish Setup to complete onboarding. This marks your account as active in the system.

What happens on your first real trade

When your first TradingView alert fires against your webhook URL:

1. Execute receives the signal and identifies your account
2. The instrument is resolved across exchanges (e.g., AAPL on NASDAQ, ES on CME)
3. Risk sizing runs against your AccountConfig — checking for strategy-specific sizes first, then asset-class fallbacks, then defaults
4. MARKET orders are placed on every enabled account in parallel
5. Execute confirms each fill — polling for fill status, retrying partial fills, and stepping down lot size on margin rejections
6. If TM is active (Pro tier), the trade enters the exit management state machine
7. You receive a Telegram notification (if configured) with entry details, fill prices, and position size per account

This is engineering infrastructure, not investment advice. All trading involves risk of loss.
