Quickstart

Seven runnable recipes plus the current webhook status. Pick the one closest to what you're doing and paste it. Every trading recipe assumes you already have a focused symbol and an account selected — run status to confirm.

First-timer? Flip simulation on for the first hour: sim on. Every write-op short-circuits without hitting the exchange. Turn it off with sim off when you're confident. See Safety → Simulation.

Each recipe links to a deep-dive page with variations, gotchas, and common follow-ups.

1. Bracket order — market entry with attached stop​

buy $100 stop -1%

A $100 notional market buy on the focused symbol, with a reduce-only stop 1% below the fill. The stop attaches automatically — no separate stop command needed.

Variations:

buy $100 at $bid +0.1% stop -1%      # post-only entry, same stop
buy 50% stop $entry -2%              # size by % balance, stop anchored to entry

→ Deep dive: Bracket order

2. Chaser — passive limit that re-pegs to top of book​

chase buy $500 to 1%

Walks the limit up the bid (or down the ask, for sells) every time the top of book moves. Terminates if the price drifts more than 1% from the starting price.

Variations:

chase sell $200 reduce                # reduce-only chaser to close
chase buy WIF,ENA $100                # multi-symbol fan-out
chase cancel keep                     # stop chasing, leave the order

→ Deep dive: Chaser

3. TWAP — spread an order over time​

twap chase buy $1000 into 10 over 60

Ten slices of $100 each over 60 minutes, each one fired as a chaser. Default behavior: if a slice's chaser hasn't filled in 50% of the slice window, it goes market. Tweak with timeout <pct> <action> and fail <action>.

Variations:

twap buy $500 into 5 over 30 reduce       # plain TWAP, reduce-only
twap chase sell $1k into 10 over 60 timeout 30% next fail next

→ Deep dive: TWAP

4. Scale ladder — N limits between two prices​

scale buy $1000 into 10 from -0.25% to -1%

Ten limit orders spaced evenly between -0.25% and -1% from the last price, totalling $1000 notional.

Variations:

scale sell $2000 into 20 from 50000 to 48500 reduce   # absolute prices, reduce-only
scale buy 5 into 10 from 31000 to 32000 ETHUSDT       # raw size + explicit symbol

→ Deep dive: Scale ladder

5. Trailing stop — track the high, close when retraced​

track max @hi $last
sets @stop @hi -1%
wait @last < @stop
close

Three steps:

  1. track max ratchets @hi upward as $last moves up.
  2. sets @stop reactively re-computes the stop level as @hi - 1%.
  3. wait blocks until the last price drops below the trailing stop, then close runs.

echo @hi ratchets the tracker on read; print @hi does not. See Aliases & user variables.

→ Deep dive: Trailing stop

6. Fan out across symbols​

chase buy WIFUSDT,ENAUSDT,DOGEUSDT $100 reduce

Comma-separated symbol list works for buy / sell / chase / close / last-price / mark-price / index-price. Each symbol fans out into a separate command with its own size resolution.

loop longs: chase sell 50% reduce      # close every long with a chaser
close longs                            # close every long, market

→ Deep dive: Fan out across symbols

7. Listener — drive the standalone CLI from the web terminal​

Inside the standalone REPL:

> # already listening on 127.0.0.1:53219

In the web terminal, set the active CLI tab's target to listener. The first connection prompts the standalone to approve the browser; after that every command you type in the web CLI runs in the standalone process — picking up that machine's accounts, hooks, simulation state, and chasers.

→ Deep dive: Listener from web

8. TradingView webhooks — not hosted yet​

TradingView-to-CLI webhooks are not currently available as a hosted Tealstreet feature. The standalone CLI has local listener and hook building blocks, but Tealstreet does not yet run the public relay that would accept TradingView alerts and route them into a user's local CLI.

Do not rely on TradingView alerts to trigger CLI trades through Tealstreet today. Advanced users can experiment with their own public tunnel to the local listener, but that is self-managed and not the supported hosted path.

This is separate from exchange geo-restrictions. If the CLI can execute a command but Bybit returns a 403 geo-block, use a VPN or add the account with Tealstreet proxy routing:

> accounts add -n mybybit -e bybit -k <KEY> -s <SECRET> --tealstreet-proxy --proxy-region SG

→ Current hook/listener status
