Webhook latency between TradingView and TradersPost?
Trying to nail down how much delay I should expect between a TradingView alert firing and the order actually landing at my broker through TradersPost. On a few trades this week the fill timestamp was 3–6 seconds after the candle close. Is that normal, or is something in my chain slow?
My setup: TradingView Pro alert → TradersPost webhook → TradeStation. Alerts are set to fire 'Once Per Bar Close'. No custom server in between.
Mostly want to know if anyone has measured this carefully and whether the few seconds materially affect the SSL2 strategy at our timeframe.

3–6 seconds is completely normal for that chain. TradingView's alert delivery itself can be 1–3s, then TradersPost processes and forwards. At our daily-bar timeframe it's noise; you're not scalping seconds.
Agreed. I've never seen the latency move my results in any measurable way over hundreds of trades. Where it matters is making sure your alert is on bar close, not 'Once Per Bar' which can fire intrabar.
That's reassuring, thanks. Confirmed mine is Once Per Bar Close. Sounds like I was overthinking it.
