Bitget Guide

Video walkthrough #

1 — Create Bitget API keys #

Bitget uses API keys with a passphrase. Create a key and add the TradeAdapter IP to the whitelist.

1. Open API Management

   Log in to Bitget and select API Management from the menu.

2. Create new API

   Click Create new API. Add the TradeAdapter IP 35.75.198.16 to Link IP Address. In the Notes box enter a name (e.g. “tradeadapter”). Set a passphrase and save it — you will need it with the key and secret.

3. Save your credentials

   Copy and store your Access APIKey and SecretKey. The secret is shown only once. You will paste them into the alert message as bitget_api_key, bitget_secret, and bitget_passphrase.

2 — Select the Bitget symbol in TradingView #

Open TradingView and search for the symbol using the BITGET prefix. Match the symbol to the market you will use in your message: Spot, Margin, or Futures.

3 — Add your strategy or indicator #

Bitget supports both strategy and indicator alerts. Load your Pine Script onto the chart so it generates the trading signals.

Not sure if you have a strategy or an indicator? See Indicator vs Strategy.

4 — Configure order size #

Bitget enforces symbol-specific rules (min size, precision). Configure your strategy’s position size so that {{strategy.order.contracts}} meets the symbol’s minimum and step. For Limit orders, ensure {{strategy.order.price}} respects the price precision. For indicators, set order_size in the message accordingly.

5 — Create the TradingView alert #

Press Alt + A (or the alarm clock icon) to create a new alert.

Alert message (Strategy) #

Use this template for strategy-based alerts. Replace the placeholder values with your API key, secret, and passphrase. Set order_market to Spot or Futures. For Margin, use margin_mode (isolated/crossed). Keep the TradingView placeholders as-is.

6 — Execute & monitor #

1. Start with test orders

   Set "real_order": "No" and trigger a few alerts. Check MyTrades to see how TradeAdapter interprets your signals.

2. Verify on Bitget

   When you set "real_order": "Yes", monitor your Bitget account to confirm orders execute as expected.

3. Recreate alerts after changes

   If you change strategy parameters or the message, delete and recreate the TradingView alert so the new values are applied.
