API Documentation: https://signals.cirrus.trade
Basic Understanding of Signals: https://blogs.cirrus.trade/signals-in-cirrus

Cirrus Signals supports three core order execution flows, each designed to suit different levels of control, speed, and integration style.


🧩 1. Trigger-Based Flow

Includes both Trigger ID and Encoded Token executions.

βœ… Ideal For:

  • Full lifecycle: create ➝ store ➝ execute
  • Clean separation between order creation and execution
  • Allows delayed or delegated execution
  • Works well for both users and partners

πŸ›  How It Works:

Step 1: Create

  • POST signal/create-order
  • Response includes:
    • trigger_id
    • encoded_token

Step 2: Execute (two options)

Option Auth Required Use Case Endpoint
Trigger ID βœ… Yes Used within authenticated user flows GET signal/execute?trigger_id=...
Encoded Token ❌ No Ideal for one-click bots, webhooks, etc. POST signal/post-execute-via-encoded-token?encoded_token=...

πŸ” Typical Scenarios:

  • Cirrus UI: User places an order, then executes later via own dashboard/platform
  • Telegram/Slack Bot: Partner sends a encoded_token, user clicks to fire
  • Signal App: Partners broadcast order with no login requirement

⚑ 2. Direct Access Token Execution

βœ… Ideal For:

  • Server-to-server order execution
  • PineScript alerts, multi-leg strategies, or batch trading
  • No intermediate storage step

πŸ›  Endpoint:

  • POST signal/execute-via-token/{access_token}

πŸ” Typical Scenarios:

  • Backend engine receives a webhook and places an order directly
  • Strategies auto-executing sequences of trades
  • Partner bots chaining OCO or legged options trades

πŸš€ 3. Partner Quick Execution

βœ… Ideal For:

  • Partners needing low-latency, fast order placement
  • One-shot create + execute with Bearer auth
  • Controlled access β€” not available to Cirrus users

πŸ›  Endpoint:

  • POST /partners/quick-order

πŸ” Typical Scenarios:

  • Partner dashboards triggering orders with a button
  • Algo systems needing fast execution without managing tokens
  • Signal apps sending single-order bursts per client

🧭 Summary Table

Flow Name Create Step? Execution Control Auth Type Who Can Use
Trigger-Based βœ… Yes Delayed or delegated Bearer / No Auth Anyone
Access Token ❌ No Backend automation Token in path Anyone
Partner Quick ❌ No Fastest manual/auto exec Bearer token Partners only
