makeWebhookJson(webhookKey, direction, qty, entryLimit, entryStop, exitLimit, exitStop, orderRef, contract)
  Creates a Webhook message for Tbot on Tradingboat
  Parameters:
    webhookKey: the unique key to the Flask (TVWB) server
    direction: the same as the strategy's direction
    qty
    entryLimit
    entryStop
    exitLimit
    exitStop
    orderRef
    contract
  Returns: JSON as a string

Versionshinweise:

v2:
update the "qty" argument from a "simple float" to a "series float"

Versionshinweise:

v3

Updated:
- Update PineScript library to send a single client ID for multiple Redis pub actions

Versionshinweise:

v4

Updated:
"Revised makeWebhookJson function to use -1e10 as a special value for the qty parameter to indicate all contracts/units should be exited. Added comment to code to explain the special value."

Versionshinweise:

v5

This update includes the addition of a detailed description for function parameters.

Allow me to clarify the purpose of this library.
The library generates webhook messages in JSON format.
The following is an example of the JSON message format:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
"timestamp": 1645630199,
"ticker": "AAPL",
"currency": "USD",
"timeframe": "1D",
"key": "WebhookReceived:123456",
"contract": "stock",
"orderRef": "long#1",
"direction": "strategy.long",
"clientId": 1,
"metrics":
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The webhook message can be received by a web server. An example of such a server is provided below.
The web server is based on Flask and TVWB.
It can push Redis messages to individual Redis Streams per Interactive Broker clientID,
as well as fetch order information and display it in web browsers.
