Tikitrade Chrome Extension Guide

Welcome! This guide will help you install the Tikitrade Chrome Extension and get started with lightning-fast alert delivery from TradingView to your trading app.

What is This Extension?

The Tikitrade Extension bridges TradingView and your Tikitrade app, delivering trading alerts instantly — often in under 10 milliseconds. It monitors your TradingView alerts and relays them directly to the Tikitrade app running in your browser, bypassing slower webhook infrastructure for near-instant trade execution.

What You’ll Get

Once installed, the extension works silently in the background, providing you with:

✨ Instant Alert Delivery — Alerts reach your trading app in a fraction of the time compared to traditional webhooks

🎯 Automatic Detection — Just create alerts in TradingView as usual; the extension handles everything else

📊 Connected Services — See at a glance which services are active and connected

🔄 Smart Tab Management — Quick access to TradingView, Tikitrade, and Tradovate tabs

🔒 Privacy First — All processing happens locally in your browser; no external servers see your alerts

Before You Begin

You’ll need:

  • Google Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser like Edge or Brave)
  • A TradingView account
  • A Tikitrade Kahuna membership

That’s it! No API keys, no configuration files, no complicated setup.

Installation Steps

Step 1: Visit the Chrome Web Store

Click the link below to open the Tikitrade Extension in the Chrome Web Store:

Get the Tikitrade Extension →

Step 2: Add to Chrome

  1. Click the “Add to Chrome” button on the extension page
  2. You may see a warning until we earn “Trusted Developer” status with Google — for now, click “Continue to install”
  3. A popup will appear asking for permissions — click “Add extension” to confirm
  4. “Pin” the extension by clicking the “Puzzle” icon to the right of the search bar and clicking the Pin icon next to the Tikitrade icon
  5. That’s it! The extension is now installed and active.

The extension needs permissions to:

  • Detect alerts on TradingView
  • Communicate with your Tikitrade app
  • Monitor service status

All processing happens locally in your browser for maximum privacy and speed.

For quick access to the extension dashboard:

  1. Look for the puzzle piece icon (🧩) in your Chrome toolbar
  2. Find “Tikitrade Extension” in the dropdown menu
  3. Click the pin icon next to it

Now you’ll have quick access to the extension popup whenever you need it.

Verifying Your Installation

Let’s make sure everything is connected and working properly.

Open the Extension Popup

Click the Tikitrade Extension icon in your toolbar (or the puzzle piece → Tikitrade Extension).

You’ll see a clean dashboard with three service cards:

1. Tikitrade

  • Green background = Your app is open and ready to receive alerts ✓
  • Yellow background = App not detected; open tikitrade.com or your local instance

2. TradingView

  • Green background = TradingView is open and being monitored ✓
  • Yellow background = TradingView not detected; open tradingview.com

3. Tradovate

  • Green background = Tradovate trader is open (optional) ✓
  • Yellow background = Not detected (this is fine if you don’t use Tradovate)

Ideal Setup: Both Tikitrade and TradingView should show green. This means alerts can flow from TradingView → Extension → Tikitrade app.

Test Alert Flow (Optional)

Want to confirm alerts are flowing through?

  1. Open TradingView in one tab
  2. Open your Tikitrade app in another tab
  3. Create a test alert in TradingView with a JSON message like:{ "webhookId": "test-123", "ticker": "BTCUSDT", "action": "buy", "price": 50000 }
  4. Trigger the alert
  5. Check the “Alerts” tab in the extension popup — you should see it appear!
  6. Check your Tikitrade app — the alert should also appear there

Features & Using the Extension

Service Status Dashboard

The extension popup gives you a real-time view of your trading setup:

  • Click any green service card to jump directly to that tab
  • Multiple tabs of one service? You’ll see a list — click any item to switch to it
  • Service inactive? Click the yellow card to open a new tab for that service

Alerts Tab

Click the “Alerts” tab in the extension popup to see:

  • Recent alerts captured from TradingView
  • Alert details including ticker, action (buy/sell), price, and strategy name
  • Resend functionality to replay alerts for testing
  • Validation errors if alerts are malformed (helps you fix TradingView alert formatting)

This is incredibly useful for:

  • Debugging alert formats
  • Verifying alerts were detected correctly
  • Replaying alerts to your app during testing

Automatic Updates

The extension checks for updates automatically. When a new version is available:

  1. Chrome downloads it in the background
  2. The extension updates seamlessly
  3. You keep trading without interruption

You’ll never need to reinstall or manually update.

What Happens Next?

With the extension installed and verified, you’re all set! Here’s what your typical workflow looks like:

  1. Open TradingView in one tab (extension monitors for alerts)
  2. Open Tikitrade app in another tab (receives alerts from extension)
  3. Create alerts in TradingView as usual with JSON messages
  4. Alerts fire → Extension catches them instantly
  5. Tikitrade app receives them in milliseconds
  6. Your strategy executes with minimal latency

You can close the extension popup — it continues working in the background. Check the popup anytime to see service status or recent alerts.

Privacy & Security

Your alerts never leave your browser. The extension works entirely locally:

  • Alerts are captured from TradingView’s Log (not intercepted from network traffic)
  • Messages are passed directly between browser tabs
  • No external servers receive your alert data
  • The extension cannot access your TradingView credentials or Tradovate account

The only network activity is checking for extension updates from our hosting (ext.tiki.trade).

What’s Next?

You’re ready to trade! The extension is now your silent partner, ensuring alerts reach your trading app the instant they fire.

Pro Tips:

  • Keep both TradingView and Tikitrade tabs open while trading
  • Use the extension popup’s “Alerts” tab to verify alert formatting
  • Pin the extension icon for quick status checks
  • If you switch between multiple TradingView charts, the extension monitors all of them

Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones' financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
