TradersPost connects your TradingView or TrendSpider alerts to Tradovate or ProjectX prop firm accounts, letting you execute manual or automated futures trades in one, or dozens, of proprietary‑firm evaluation (eval) and funded accounts simultaneously. TradersPost handles the order routing, position sizing, and account‑level risk parameters so you can focus on strategy, not button clicking.
Before linking TradersPost to any proprietary trading firm, you must verify that your trading approach complies with that firm’s rules and restrictions. TradersPost does not approve or encourage the use of our platform to circumvent, breach, or otherwise violate a prop firm's terms and conditions. You are solely responsible for understanding, following, and staying up to date with each firm's policies. Failure to do so may result in penalties or account termination imposed by the prop firm and/or suspension of your TradersPost integration. TradersPost accepts no liability for any consequences arising from non‑compliance.
Prop firms differ in what they allow for automation, scaling, and risk. Always confirm that your strategy and order flow comply with each firm's terms. TradersPost offers the tools, but you remain responsible for rule adherence.
Supported Platforms
Supported Prop Firms
You can find a full list of all prop firms supported by TradersPost on this page.
Automating a Topstep account through ProjectX
A Topstep account is reached through ProjectX, so the setup follows the ProjectX connection and inherits its limits.
Setting up Topstep through ProjectX
-
Step 1: Connect through ProjectX
TradersPost does not connect to Topstep directly. You connect your ProjectX-enabled Topstep account through the ProjectX connection, which needs a ProjectX account of its own.
-
Step 2: Subscribe to a futures strategy
Then subscribe it to a futures strategy and send signals from any source to the webhook.
-
Step 3: Plan for exits yourself
Your strategy can send a separate exit alert.
Risk settings
Topstep support can tell you which risk settings are available on your account.
See the ProjectX page for the connection itself.
Automating an Apex Trader Funding account
Apex Trader Funding accounts can be reached through Tradovate. Futures symbols and the 2FA approval are the two Tradovate details to get right.
Setting up Apex Trader Funding through Tradovate
-
Step 1: Connect through Tradovate
Apex Trader Funding accounts can be reached through Tradovate.
-
Step 2: Approve TradersPost after connecting
Check thisWith two-factor authentication on, Tradovate emails an approval request after you connect. Until you approve it, live orders fail with a 401 Access Denied. Check spam and promotions folders if you do not see it.
-
Step 3: Name the contract you mean
Futures alerts should carry a dated contract. Continuous symbols are not reliably resolved, and TradersPost does not roll positions for you, so an exit after a rollover has to name the new contract.

Where the details are
Futures symbols and the 2FA approval are the two Tradovate details to get right.
The approval details are on the Tradovate page. For contract symbols, see the futures page.
Automating a Lucid Trading account through Tradovate
Lucid Trading accounts can be reached through Tradovate, so the Tradovate connection decides how your alerts behave.
Setting up Lucid Trading through Tradovate
-
Step 1: Connect the Tradovate login
Connect the Tradovate login that holds your Lucid Trading account through the Tradovate connection.
-
Step 2: Approve the email if 2FA is on
Check thisIf two-factor authentication is on, approve the email Tradovate sends, or live orders are refused with a 401 Access Denied.
-
Step 3: Put a price in the alert
Tradovate provides no market data to TradersPost, so limit-based exits need a price from your alert. Without one, a market order is sent instead.

How a My Funded Futures account connects
My Funded Futures accounts can be reached through Tradovate, which determines the order types and limits you will meet.
One Tradovate connection, one or many accounts
-
Step 1: Connect the Tradovate login
You connect the Tradovate login through the Tradovate connection.
-
Step 2: Subscribe the accounts you want
Subscribe the accounts you want to a futures strategy.
-
Step 3: Send one alert
The same alert then reaches each subscribed account using that subscription's own settings.
Tradovate sets the limits
My Funded Futures accounts can be reached through Tradovate, which determines the order types and limits you will meet.
See the Tradovate page for the connection itself.
What to know before automating The Futures Desk
The Futures Desk accounts run on ProjectX, which sets most of what TradersPost can and cannot do with them.
Connecting The Futures Desk through ProjectX
-
Step 1: Link through ProjectX
You link the account through the ProjectX connection rather than a Futures Desk one.
-
Step 2: Have a ProjectX account of your own
That means a ProjectX account with its own subscription.
-
Step 3: Subscribe and send
Then a futures strategy and a webhook alert as usual.
ProjectX sets the limits
The Futures Desk accounts run on ProjectX, which sets most of what TradersPost can and cannot do with them.

Sending signals to a Tradeify account
Tradeify accounts can be reached through Tradovate. These are the Tradovate details that show up in day-to-day use.
Setting up Tradeify through Tradovate
-
Step 1: Connect through Tradovate
Tradeify accounts can be reached through Tradovate.
-
Step 2: Expect fixed trailing stops
Check thisTradovate has no percent trailing stop. If you send a trail percent, TradersPost converts it to a fixed distance based on the entry price it estimates from your signal. Send an explicit amount if a fixed distance is what you want.
-
Step 3: Use explicit contract symbols
Use dated contract symbols instead of continuous ones, and update them at rollover.

Where the details are
These are the Tradovate details that show up in day-to-day use.
A percent trail becomes a fixed trail
Tradovate only takes a fixed trail, so the percent becomes a number of points.

Sample math: 1% of 20000 is 200 points. The trail stays fixed as price moves.
The futures page explains why symbols are explicit, and the Tradovate page covers the connection itself.
Manual Trading Techniques
Every day, we stream live on Twitter and YouTube, where we demonstrate how to trade line alerts from TradingView charts. You can see a walk-through on how this is done in this video:
Notes on ProjectX
You must sign up for an account on ProjectX to use their API with TradersPost. As of this writing, the subscription is $29/mo. Once this account is set up, you can then link your ProjectX-enabled prop firm to TradersPost.
How to Connect ProjectX Accounts
Known Limitations
As of this writing, ProjectX prop firm accounts don't support bracket orders which allows TradersPost to automatically attach a specific take profit and stop loss to each entry order. However, 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.
