An automated TradingView trade setup has four parts that all have to line up. You need a TradingView plan that sends webhooks, a Tradovate account linked inside PickMyTrade, the generated alert code in TradingView’s Message box, and the webhook URL in the Notifications tab. Miss one and the alert fires into nothing. Will TradingView tell
Multiple take profit levels automation looks like a settings problem. You pick three targets, split the contracts, paste one JSON into TradingView and you’re done. Then your strategy’s own exit fires on a Tuesday afternoon, and the account that should be flat is short five contracts. Nothing malfunctioned: the alert did exactly what its flags
By PickMyTrade Andrea Cimitan calls the opening range breakout his “go-to” starting strategy, in his own words, on record, in a two-hour podcast interview. He also says that trading it without his order-flow overlay leaves money on the table. This guide covers both: his published rules for the base ORB setup, the Pine Script implementation
Roughly 40 million people now call themselves digital nomads, up from an estimated 11 million in 2020, and a growing slice of them trade futures or forex on the side while almost none of them keep a fixed desk anymore. That’s a problem, because most trading setups assume you’re sitting at one. A strategy that
Roughly 94% of traders fail their first prop firm evaluation. That number is the entire business model behind NinjaTrader prop bots, because when Goldilocks, Vector Algorithmics, NQ Pilot and a dozen others all sell the same promise, the promise is aimed squarely at the 94%: a pre-built NT8 strategy that gets you through the evaluation
Your alert log shows a green checkmark. Your chart shows the entry. Your account shows nothing. That gap is the most common support ticket in retail trading automation, and almost nobody diagnoses it correctly the first time. Traders assume the alert broke. But in our queue, the alert is the culprit less than a third
Roughly 70% of daily U.S. equity trading volume now comes from algorithmic systems, not human hands on a mouse. That single number answers the headline question before we go any further. Automated trading legal status in the U.S. was settled long ago, and the market itself is the proof. But “it’s legal” isn’t the same
FundedNext Futures has paid out more than $9 million to U.S. traders within six months of launching. A big share of that volume comes from strategies automation. Yet the firm bans most forms of copy trading outright. That gap trips up traders who assume automation and copying trades mean the same thing. They don’t. FundedNext
Apex Trader Funding just made one of the biggest rule changes in its history. On March 1, 2026, it raised its consistency cap from 30% to 50% of cycle profit as part of a wider “Apex 4.0” overhaul. That single number change is the heart of the Apex consistency rule 2026 update, and if you
Here’s the trap nobody warns you about: you can be green on the day and still lose room on your account. That’s trailing drawdown. Industry estimates put trailing drawdown violations behind an estimated 20 to 30% of funded futures account failures, second only to daily loss limits. This guide is trailing drawdown explained the way
