This strategy was decoded from a public trading video but did not clear Strategy Decoder's codifiability bar: the extraction could not pin the rules down precisely enough to be turned into a reviewable specification. It is kept here as a reference post-mortem rather than as a strategy you can trade or backtest.

Why this strategy was archived

UT Bot alerts are an ATR-based trend-following signal generator popular on TradingView, and the broker-bridge pattern is what turns those alerts into live orders: TradingView fires a webhook, a connector translates it, and the trade lands at the broker. This entry decodes TradeAdapter's video "Automate TradingView to IC Markets: Auto Trading Setup", which walks through wiring that pipeline for FOREX and XAUUSD execution through IC Markets.

**Why this entry is archived.** Our extraction scored this video below the codifiability bar. The structural pieces are there — UT Bot alerts as the signal source, a defined market scope — but the video's center of gravity is the plumbing between TradingView and the broker rather than the trading logic itself. The signal conditions are referenced without being specified precisely enough to reproduce: no fixed indicator parameters, no confirmation criteria, no stop, target or sizing rules we could code without filling gaps by guesswork. An entry we cannot code faithfully does not belong in the active catalog, regardless of how useful the material is on its own terms.

**What it still offers.** The automation walkthrough is the genuine contribution here, and it addresses the step most strategy content skips entirely: getting a signal from chart to broker without manual intervention. If you already have a rule set you trust and need the execution layer, this is practical infrastructure material. For the rules themselves, see the UT Bot and trend-following concept hubs, and the active catalog, where entries have fully extracted entry and exit logic.

Frequently asked questions

Why is this TradingView to IC Markets entry archived?

Our extraction identified the signal source (UT Bot alerts) and the markets covered, but the video focuses on the execution pipeline rather than a complete rule set — entry, exit, stop and sizing conditions are referenced without being defined precisely enough to automate. That scored below our codifiability bar for the active catalog.

Is the video still worth watching?

Yes, for what it actually sets out to do: it walks through connecting TradingView alerts to broker execution at IC Markets, which is the infrastructure step most strategy content leaves out. Treat it as an automation guide rather than a strategy specification.

What are UT Bot alerts?

A TradingView indicator that generates trend-following buy and sell signals from an ATR-based trailing stop. Its behavior depends heavily on its sensitivity and ATR settings, which is part of why a rule set built on it needs explicit parameters to be reproducible.

Where can I find codifiable UT Bot or automated strategies?

The UT Bot and trend-following concept hubs, along with the active catalog, list decoded video strategies where full entry and exit rules were successfully extracted.
