Known Limitations

  • No market data provided by ProjectX.
  • No P&L data for positions or account provided by ProjectX.
  • Account balances do not update in real-time. It only updates after you close a position.
  • No bracket orders supported. This means you cannot send a take profit or stop loss with your entry order. It is possible to set risk parameters in your prop firm risk settings with most prop firms that use ProjectX. Please get in touch with your firm's support team for help on setting this up.
  • Submitting a limit order with a price greater then current market price will convert the order to a market order and will show as a market order in your order history instead of a limit order.
  • No percent trailing stop. When you set a trail percent, TradersPost converts it into a fixed trail worth that percent of the entry price it estimates from your signal, and ProjectX trails the stop by that fixed number of ticks. A 1 percent trail on an entry at 20000 trails by 200 points for the life of the order, instead of staying 1% below the high-water mark.
