🎲 Preparation Steps

Preparing tradingview account

1. Webhooks are only available for essential plans and plus.
   
2. Enable 2FA in your tradingview account.
   

Preparing your OKX account

1. Create OKX account, and we prefer you do the initial tests under demo account before moving to active trading account.
   
2. Bots created in demo account will not appear in the active trading account. Hence, when switching to active account, you need to create all the setup again.
