Please, help! Can't get it to work!

I have followed all the steps of the installation section from 1 to 8. The project is hosted locally and after running python3 main.py nothing happens once my configured alert is fired on TradingView. I get no errors on Terminal and the python process just keeps running with no messages. I already tried to change the port on main.py to 443 and no luck.

Should I get the Alert Received & Sent! message after the alert is fired, I presume? What could be the problem?

Hi,

Do you run the bot on your own local machine or on a VPS?

And yes - Alert Received & Sent! will be shown after the alert triggered on TradingView.

Forgive me, mixed it up. Yes - you'd either have to forward port 80 to 8080 with something like ufw.

The image you shared, is that from your router settings?

As mentioned before, running it locally is always tricky and that's why it's not recommend hence no support.

Yes.

I feel I'm so close!!!

Do you mean forwarding the port on my router settings is not correct and I should use something like ufw? Ou should I use both?

[fabston]

The port forwarding must be done on your machine, not router. On Linux UFW would be an option. On your router only poart 80 must be opened.

[EDITED]

Do you have any idea why using the above on my router makes the curl command work from inside my network but not from outside?

The curl command in this case is the following:

curl -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"key": "abc", "msg": "foo"}' <MY_EXTERNAL_IP>/webhook
