To use indicators with Cordly, you need to use one of the two options below but it depends on how the indicator you use is configured.

The two options are plain text or syntax commands.

1) Plain text commands

If your indicator has buy or sell (or long/short) conditions as seen in the image below, you can use the plain text option.

With plain text commands, you can structure your alert message to be Buy/Sell TradingPair. Example Buy USDCAD

2) Syntax commands

If your indicator doesn't have the above conditions you need to ask the seller of the indicator what command structure to use. 

If they support the command structure as seen below you will be able to create alerts using this command line:

{{strategy.order.action}} {{ticker}}

In this case, the indicator will alert you to buy or sell and the trading pair to buy/sell. Example: Buy USDCAD
