Tradeify sells three broker connections at exactly the same price. You pick one, and you can’t change it later without buying a new account. Table of Contents 1.

[The Short Version](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/#the-short-version) Most guides skip straight to the JSON. They assume you’re on Tradovate, because Tradovate is what Tradeify’s own TradingView article talks about. So what happens to the trader who picked Rithmic for the Tradesea platform and followed one of those guides? They find out TradingView won’t connect at all, and eat the cost of a second account. We route TradingView alerts onto Tradeify accounts on both connections, and the questions that reach us are almost never about syntax. They’re about whether the account someone already bought can receive an alert in the first place. So this guide starts there, then covers the automation rules, then the wiring. > **Key Takeaways** > > > > > > > > - Tradeify offers three broker connections (Tradovate, Rithmic, and WealthCharts), chosen at checkout and not switchable afterward without a new purchase. > - TradingView links natively to Tradovate accounts only, but a webhook bridge reaches Rithmic accounts too, because it talks to the broker rather than to TradingView’s chart panel. > - ProjectX is gone. It dropped every non-Topstep firm in February 2026, which makes every “Tradeify ProjectX” guide published before then obsolete. > - Tradeify permits bots you own outright, bans HFT, and requires that more than half your trades and half your profit come from positions held past ten seconds. ## Which Tradeify Broker Connection Can Actually Receive a Webhook? {#which-tradeify-broker-connection-can-actually-receive-a-webhook} Tradeify supports three broker connections: Tradovate, Rithmic, and WealthCharts. You select yours at checkout. All three cost the same, with no surcharge for any platform. The connection determines which trading platforms your credentials unlock, and switching between brokers later means buying a new account outright. So what does each one actually give you? A **broker connection** is the credential set Tradeify issues you at purchase, and it determines every platform you can log into afterward. A Tradovate connection opens the Tradovate web and desktop platform, NinjaTrader, and TradingView. A Rithmic connection opens Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, and R|Trader. WealthCharts is operated by a third party, uses its own separate login, and works only with WealthCharts. | Broker connection | Platforms it unlocks | Native TradingView link | Reachable by webhook | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Tradovate | Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView | Yes | Yes | | Rithmic | Tradesea, Quantower, Sierra Chart, R|Trader | No | Yes | | WealthCharts | WealthCharts only | No | No | Level 1 CME data comes with all three. Level 2 depth and EUREX data are purchasable on Tradovate accounts only. So a strategy that reads order-book depth narrows your choice before automation even enters the picture. ![Rows of white and grey network cables plugged into a rack-mounted patch panel with illuminated port indicators, illustrating the choice of which broker connection a Tradeify account routes through.](https://images.pexels.com/photos/6466143/pexels-photo-6466143.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1200&fm=webp) Tradeify’s own help centre answers the TradingView question bluntly: no, you cannot use TradingView with a Rithmic account, because TradingView connects through Tradovate only. Taken at face value, that reads like Rithmic buyers are locked out of TradingView automation entirely. They aren’t, and the distinction matters more than any other line in this article. That rule describes TradingView’s **native broker link**, meaning the panel at the bottom of the chart you click to place a manual order. A webhook takes a completely different route. It leaves TradingView as an outbound HTTP request and lands on a bridge that holds your broker credentials. The bridge then talks to Rithmic or Tradovate directly, and TradingView never needs to know the account exists. > **What we found when we tested this:** a Rithmic-based Tradeify account executes TradingView alerts even though TradingView itself can’t chart or trade it. The chart lives on one connection and the fill lives on another, which is exactly what a bridge is for. In our experience this is the single most common reason a trader assumes their account can’t be automated when it can. WealthCharts is the genuine dead end here. It sits outside both broker integrations on its own credential set, so there’s no webhook path to it at all. If automation is anywhere in your plan, that’s the one connection to avoid at checkout. Which Tradeify connection a TradingView alert can reach A TradingView chart splits into two routes. Route one, the native broker link, is manual click trading and reaches Tradovate-based Tradeify accounts only. Route two, an outbound webhook to a bridge holding broker credentials, reaches both Tradovate-based and Rithmic-based Tradeify accounts and executes automatically. WealthCharts accounts use separate third-party credentials and are reachable by neither route. Which connection a TradingView alert can reach The native chart link and the webhook path do not reach the same accounts TradingView chart Native broker link manual clicks only Webhook to a bridge executes on its own Tradovate connection both routes work Rithmic connection webhook route only WealthCharts: neither route reaches it What about ProjectX, which half the setup guides online still tell you to pick? It used to be a fourth option here, and for a while it was the popular one. Then ProjectX dropped all of its clients and went exclusive to a single firm at the end of February 2026. Tradeify no longer offers it, which means any tutorial titled “Tradeify ProjectX automation” is describing a connection you can’t buy, no matter how recently it was published or how confidently it walks you through the screens. Our [rundown of every prop firm with a public trading API](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/every-prop-firm-with-a-public-trading-api-in-2026/) tracks where the rest of the industry landed after that shake-up. ## Tradeify’s Bot Rules Are About Ownership, Not Technology {#tradeifys-bot-rules-are-about-ownership-not-technology} The funded trader agreement, last modified in May 2026, doesn’t care whether your orders come from a webhook, a script, or your mouse. It cares who owns the strategy. The clause states that a trader “must be able to prove that the Trader is the sole owner of the bot or strategy and that no one else has access to or is using it.” Three restrictions sit alongside it. Personal bots are allowed as long as they are not high-frequency trading bots. Using the same bot across multiple firms is against policy, even though running it on your own Tradeify accounts is fine. And team trading, third-party account management, and mirroring trades between yourself and anyone else are prohibited outright. ![A close-up of hands signing a printed contract on a desk beside a pen holder and stacked paperwork, representing the Tradeify funded trader agreement that governs bot ownership.](https://images.pexels.com/photos/5387258/pexels-photo-5387258.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1200&fm=webp) Then there’s the rule that quietly catches more automated traders than the HFT ban does. Tradeify applies a two-part microscalping test: more than 50% of your trades and more than 50% of your profit must come from positions held longer than ten seconds. Fail it and the payout is denied. The account itself doesn’t breach, so nothing shows up as a violation on your dashboard. The money just doesn’t move. Ten seconds sounds generous, too, which is why this one goes unnoticed for so long. Does it stay generous once your execution path is fast? An alert that fires on bar close and fills in a couple of hundred milliseconds, paired with a tight profit target, closes a scalp well inside the window. The test also runs on your whole history rather than on individual trades, so a strategy sitting near the line drifts across it gradually. The ten-second rule is two tests, not one Tradeify’s microscalping rule measures two separate quantities against the same threshold. Test one, share of total trades held longer than ten seconds, must exceed 50 percent. Test two, share of total profit earned on trades held longer than ten seconds, must also exceed 50 percent. Clearing one and missing the other still denies the payout. The ten-second rule is two tests, not one Both measures must clear 50%, and a payout review checks them together 50% threshold Share of total trades held longer than 10 seconds passes Share of total profit earned on those same trades denies the payout Illustrative split: a strategy can hold most positions past ten seconds and still bank most of its profit inside the window. So does a webhook bridge count as a bot under all this? Functionally it places orders without you clicking, which is the part that matters. You own the Pine Script logic, it runs on your chart, and the bridge only relays. Nothing in the agreement bans that. What it bans is pointing that same strategy at accounts you don’t own, or at a second firm, and our guide on [how prop firms detect copy trading across accounts](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/how-prop-firm-detects-copy-trading-across-accounts/) covers where that line actually falls in practice. ## How Does a TradingView Alert Become a Tradeify Fill? {#how-does-a-tradingview-alert-become-a-tradeify-fill} TradingView never sends an order to Tradeify. It sends a message, and a bridge turns that message into an order in under 200 milliseconds. That split, with one system deciding and a second one executing, explains almost every failure mode you’ll hit later. The native broker link on a TradingView chart is manual click-trading. Connect a Tradeify-issued Tradovate account to it and you can trade the chart by hand, but your strategy alerts will not execute through it. That surprises people who assume a connected broker means an automated one. It doesn’t, and no setting changes it. ![A close-up of stacked server blades in a rack with green status lights, representing the hosted infrastructure that receives a TradingView webhook and forwards the order to a broker.](https://images.pexels.com/photos/5050305/pexels-photo-5050305.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1200&fm=webp) The webhook path works differently. A **webhook** is an outbound HTTP POST that TradingView sends the moment an alert condition is met, carrying your instructions as JSON. A bridge holding your Tradeify broker credentials parses that payload and places the matching order. Webhook alerts need a paid TradingView plan. Free accounts can’t send them at all, and our [breakdown of the TradingView plan you need for webhook automation](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/tradingview-plan-you-need-for-webhook-automated-trading/) walks through the tiers. Two mechanics are worth knowing before you go live. TradingView expects a response inside roughly three seconds, or it treats the delivery as failed. That’s why [webhook timeouts](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/why-your-tradingview-webhook-timeout-the-3-second-limit/) show up as missing trades rather than error messages. And an alert set to fire on every tick rather than once per bar close will send [duplicate orders](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/duplicate-webhook-alerts-why-your-bot-double-orders-2026/) faster than you can flatten them. ## Wire the Alert: Six Steps From Chart to Filled Order {#wire-the-alert-six-steps-from-chart-to-filled-order} Budget fifteen minutes for a Tradovate-based account and a little longer for Rithmic, where you’ll enter gateway details rather than a simple login. Where do people actually get stuck? Almost always at step two, before a single alert has been written. ### Connect the account and generate the payload {#connect-the-account-and-generate-the-payload} **Step one.** Add your Tradeify broker connection inside PickMyTrade. Tradovate accounts authenticate with the Tradovate credentials Tradeify emailed you; Rithmic accounts use your Rithmic username, password, and server. The [Tradovate-to-Tradeify login guide](https://pickmytrade.trade/how-to/tradovate-tradeify-login/) covers where those credentials live if you’ve misplaced them. **Step two.** Confirm the account appears in your connection list and shows as tradeable before you go near TradingView. If it doesn’t, the problem is credentials, not alerts, and no amount of JSON tuning will fix it. **Step three.** Generate an alert in PickMyTrade to get your webhook URL and a matching JSON template. A strategy alert looks like this: ``` { "date": "{{timenow}}", "data": "{{strategy.order.action}}", "quantity": "{{strategy.order.contracts}}", "price": "{{close}}", "pyramid": true, "reverse_order_close": false } ``` ### Attach it to the chart and test {#attach-it-to-the-chart-and-test} **Step four.** In TradingView, open your strategy or indicator, create an alert, and set the condition to fire on bar close. Paste the webhook URL into the notification tab’s webhook field and the JSON into the message box. **Step five.** Check the JSON by eye before saving. A stray comma or an unmatched quote fails silently. TradingView still reports the alert as sent, and only the bridge’s alert log shows you what actually arrived. Our [webhook alert field reference](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/tradingview-webhook-alerts-field-reference/) lists what each key does and which combinations conflict. **Step six.** Fire one trade manually before you trust the strategy. Trigger the alert, watch the order appear in Tradovate or your Rithmic platform, then flatten it. If it fills where you expected, the pipe is good. Two Tradeify-specific details deserve attention here. Contract sizing is capped per account tier, so a strategy that sends four minis into a $50,000 account gets rejected rather than trimmed. Tradeify also runs a nightly reconciliation window between 5 and 8 PM Eastern, during which account states shuffle. It’s a poor moment to be debugging a live connection. The [Tradovate-to-Tradeify automation page](https://pickmytrade.trade/automation/tradovate-to-tradeify-automation/) has the full setup with screenshots. ## Which Tradeify Rules Break an Automated Strategy First? {#which-tradeify-rules-break-an-automated-strategy-first} Not the ones you’d expect. Automated strategies rarely fail Tradeify on drawdown, because a rules-based system sizes consistently. They fail on scheduling and on consistency instead. Why? Because a bot does the same thing every day whether or not the calendar agrees. Tradeify’s calendar has two edges a discretionary trader would work around without thinking. Start with the daily cut-off. Tradeify auto-flattens open positions at 4:59 PM Eastern, with no overnight or weekend holds. A strategy that enters late in the session gets closed by the firm rather than by its own exit logic, and the resulting fill lands wherever the market happens to be. Then there’s the activity requirement, which cuts the other way. Funded and evaluation accounts need at least one trade per week, Monday to Friday, or the account is deleted after an email warning. Think about what that does to a selective strategy. A conservative system that sits flat through a quiet week can lose an account it never risked a dollar on. Where the consistency rule sits on each Tradeify path Consistency requirements by account stage. Select evaluation enforces 40 percent and Select funded enforces none. Growth evaluation enforces none and Growth sim funded enforces 35 percent. Lightning Funded enforces 20 percent on the first payout, 25 percent on the second, and 30 percent on every payout after that. Select front-loads the rule into the evaluation while Growth and Lightning apply it at the payout stage. Where the consistency rule sits on each path Best single day, as a share of total profit. Lower is stricter. 10% 20% 30% 40% Select evaluation 40% Select funded no consistency rule Growth evaluation no consistency rule Growth sim funded 35% Lightning, payout 1 20% Lightning, payout 2 25% Lightning, payout 3+ 30% Select tests consistency before funding; Growth and Lightning test it when you ask for money. The consistency rule is the one that catches automated traders sideways, because it sits at opposite ends of the two evaluation paths. Select applies a 40% cap during the evaluation and drops it once you’re funded. Growth has no consistency rule during the evaluation at all, then applies a 35% cap on the funded account. Read that as an automation problem and it flips your account choice. A momentum strategy makes most of its money on two or three volatile sessions. It sails through a Growth evaluation, gets funded, then hits the wall at the first payout request, after you’ve already traded the account for weeks. On Select, the same strategy fails in the evaluation instead. Which would you rather find out early? Our [comparison of consistency rules across prop firms](https://blog.pickmytrade.trade/prop-firm-consistency-rules-compared-apex-vs-topstep-vs-etf/) shows how differently firms draw this line. ## Should You Automate a Tradeify Account? {#should-you-automate-a-tradeify-account} If your strategy already has rules you follow by hand, yes. The wiring is the easy part, and Tradeify is unusually relaxed about bots compared with firms that ban them outright or restrict them to evaluation accounts. Tradeify also imposes no news-trading blackout, which removes a scheduling problem that trips automated systems elsewhere. ![A partly open laptop glowing with blue and magenta light against a dark background, representing a trading strategy running unattended overnight.](https://images.pexels.com/photos/10352379/pexels-photo-10352379.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&w=1200&fm=webp) Where you should slow down is the account you buy. Pick the connection first. Do you want TradingView charting sitting alongside execution, or are you happy charting on TradingView and executing through Rithmic? Then pick the evaluation path based on where your strategy’s profit concentrates. That’s what decides which side of the consistency rule you land on. PickMyTrade runs $50 a month, or $350 a year on the current annual offer, with a five-day free trial that needs no card. Every plan includes unlimited strategies, tickers, and connected accounts, so running one strategy across several Tradeify accounts you own doesn’t cost extra.

Tradeify’s funded trader agreement permits personal bots and algorithmic trading provided you’re the sole owner of the strategy, don’t share it, and don’t run it at another firm simultaneously. High-frequency trading bots are excluded. Tradeify may ask you to prove ownership if its risk team flags the account. ## Can I use TradingView with a Rithmic-based Tradeify account? {#can-i-use-tradingview-with-a-rithmic-based-tradeify-account} Not through TradingView’s native broker panel, which connects to Tradovate only. Webhook automation is different: the alert goes to a bridge that holds your Rithmic credentials, and the bridge places the order. You chart on TradingView and execute on Rithmic, with no direct link between them. ## Why is there no ProjectX option on Tradeify anymore? {#why-is-there-no-projectx-option-on-tradeify-anymore} ProjectX ended service for every firm except one at the end of February 2026, and Tradeify’s help centre confirms it no longer offers that platform. Existing “Tradeify ProjectX” tutorials describe a connection that can’t be purchased. Tradovate, Rithmic, and WealthCharts are the current three. ## What is Tradeify's ten-second rule for bots? {#what-is-tradeifys-ten-second-rule-for-bots} More than 50% of your trades and more than 50% of your profit must come from positions held longer than ten seconds. It’s two separate tests against the same threshold, checked at payout review. Failing it denies the payout rather than breaching the account, so the money simply doesn’t move. ## Can I run one TradingView strategy across several Tradeify accounts? {#can-i-run-one-tradingview-strategy-across-several-tradeify-accounts} Across accounts you personally own, yes. That’s explicitly permitted, and a bridge can fan a single alert out to each with its own contract multiplier. What’s prohibited is running the same bot at a second prop firm, or sharing it with another trader, both of which fall under the copy-trading ban. ## The Short Version {#the-short-version} Tradeify’s automation story is friendlier than most firms’, and the wiring genuinely takes about fifteen minutes. The trap is upstream of all of it. Pick your broker connection deliberately, because the checkout page locks it. Tradovate gives you native TradingView charting plus the webhook path. Rithmic gives you the webhook path and a different set of front-ends. WealthCharts gives you neither. Then read the consistency rule against your own equity curve before you choose Select or Growth, since that’s the rule most likely to stand between an automated strategy and a payout. Once those two decisions are made, the alert is just JSON in a text box. Still weighing Tradeify against the rest of the field?
