TradingView alert placeholders are the double-curly-brace tokens, such as {{close}}, that TradingView replaces with live values the moment an alert fires. Every strategy alert starts life as a template full of them. When an order fills, TradingView swaps each token for its value and posts the result to your webhook. Get one token wrong and
Nine of the twenty prop firms we checked let you run a trade copiers across your own accounts with no special restriction beyond their usual risk rules. Another nine allow it too, just with a catch: an approved-vendor list, an evaluation-only window, or accounts that have to match in type and size. One firm bans
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
A Tradovate demo account is free for 14 days and opens with $50,000 in virtual funds, real-time futures data included, no card required. That part is well advertised. What surprises most traders is the clock running underneath it: the trial cannot be paused, reset, or extended, and once it lapses, the account simply stops letting
Running two or three funded Tradovate accounts off the same signal means listing every account inside the alert’s multiple_accounts array, since PickMyTrade (a TradingView-to-broker trade automation platform) treats that array as the complete routing instruction. On pickmytrade.trade, every account in the array trades through your Tradovate connection. Leave one out and it sits idle while
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
On June 24th I connected a TradingView strategy to a funded futures account, turned on the webhook, and closed the laptop. The rule I set for myself was simple and, it turned out, much harder to keep than I expected: no manual trades, no early exits, no “just this once” override. Sixty days later, on
I spent a weekend writing the order-routing layer for a Tradovate bot before I bothered to find out what it would cost to run. The answer came to $427 a month. My account was $4,000. Micro contracts, one or two at a time, a trend strategy I’d been trading by hand for about seven months
Most traders read the Apex funded automation rules exactly once, on the evaluation, and never read them again. That’s the mistake. The rules you pass your challenge under are not the rules you get paid under. Automation is broadly fine while you’re grinding an Apex evaluation, but once that account converts to a Performance Account
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
