Placeholder and Plot Mapping
Reference for Momentum Concepts alert placeholders and plot values used in custom alert messages and webhook payloads.
When creating TradingView alerts with Momentum Concepts, you can include dynamic placeholder variables in your alert message. This page documents the available placeholders and their corresponding plot outputs.
How Placeholders Work
TradingView replaces placeholder variables (wrapped in double curly braces) with actual indicator values at the moment the alert fires. This lets you build informative alert messages and structured webhook payloads.
Example alert message template:
MC Alert: {{ticker}} {{interval}} — {{plot_0}} | Fast: {{plot_1}} | Impulse: {{plot_2}}Standard TradingView Placeholders
These are available for all TradingView alerts:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
{{ticker}} | The symbol name (e.g., BTCUSDT) |
{{exchange}} | The exchange name (e.g., BINANCE) |
{{interval}} | The chart timeframe (e.g., 15, 60, 1D) |
{{time}} | Timestamp when the alert triggered |
{{open}} | Open price of the current bar |
{{high}} | High price of the current bar |
{{low}} | Low price of the current bar |
{{close}} | Close price of the current bar |
{{volume}} | Volume of the current bar |
Momentum Concepts Plot Mappings
The indicator exposes several plot values for use in alert messages:
| Plot | Description | Typical Values |
|---|---|---|
{{plot_0}} | Alert event type | Reversal, Divergence, Cross, or empty |
{{plot_1}} | Fast Oscillator value | Numeric (positive = bullish, negative = bearish) |
{{plot_2}} | Momentum Impulse value | Numeric histogram value |
{{plot_3}} | Scalper's Momentum value | Numeric |
{{plot_4}} | Hidden Liquidity Flow value | Numeric (positive = accumulation, negative = distribution) |
{{plot_5}} | Divergence type | Regular Bullish, Regular Bearish, Hidden Bullish, Hidden Bearish, or empty |
{{plot_6}} | Signal direction | Bullish, Bearish, or empty |
Plot indices may change between indicator versions. Hover over the Momentum Concepts label on your chart to see the current plot names and their order.

- Include
{{ticker}}and{{interval}}in every alert message so you can identify the source when receiving multiple alerts - For webhook payloads, use valid JSON and test with a sample alert before deploying to production
- Keep mobile push notification messages short — they truncate on most devices after approximately 200 characters
