Automate Purdia Capital with TradersPost

Purdia Capital connects to TradersPost through Tradovate, the firm's primary broker¹. Semi-automated algorithmic trading is allowed². With no consistency rules³ and a soft daily loss limit that pauses rather than terminates accounts³, Purdia is well-suited for alert-based automation through TradersPost.

This guide covers setting up TradersPost automation, managing the soft daily loss limit, and staying compliant with Purdia's trading policies.

How TradersPost Connects to Purdia Capital

TradersPost connects to Purdia Capital through Tradovate¹:

• TradingView or TrendSpider fires a strategy alert
• TradersPost receives the webhook and processes the order
• Tradovate executes the trade in your Purdia Capital account

Purdia does not support Rithmic — all automation routes through Tradovate¹.

Automation Policy

Purdia Capital allows semi-automated algorithmic trading². Key rules:

• Semi-automated strategies: Allowed via TradersPost webhooks²
• News trading: Allowed²
• Swing trading: Allowed²
• Copy trading: Restricted²

Setting Up the Integration

Step 1: Choose Your Account Type

For semi-automated trading, consider:

• Pro accounts: 90/10 split but intraday trailing drawdown requires careful monitoring²
• EOD accounts: End-of-day drawdown is more forgiving for strategies with intraday swings²
• Instant accounts: EOD drawdown with no evaluation — the fastest path to automated funded trading⁴

Step 2: Connect Tradovate to TradersPost

Add your Purdia Capital Tradovate credentials in TradersPost's broker section. Verify the account displays correctly with proper balance and position limits.

Step 3: Configure TradingView Alerts

Set up TradingView alerts with webhook messages directed to your TradersPost URL. Include entry, exit, and bracket order parameters.

Step 4: Test in Paper Mode

Test the entire automation chain in paper mode. Verify daily loss limit behavior and contract limit adherence before going live.

Managing the Soft Daily Loss Limit

Purdia's soft daily loss limit is forgiving for automated trading³:

• When the limit is hit, positions are liquidated and new trades are blocked for the rest of the day³
• Trading resumes the next day as long as you are above the max drawdown³
• The limit does NOT terminate your account³

For automated strategies, this means a bad day won't end your account. Build daily loss monitoring into your strategy to avoid unnecessary drawdown. Consider setting a TradersPost daily loss limit below the firm's threshold as a safety buffer.

Leveraging No Consistency Rules

Purdia Capital has no consistency rules³. This is a significant advantage for automated strategies:

• Strategies can produce occasional outsized winning days without penalty
• No requirement to spread profits evenly across trading days
• After the first payout, there are no minimum trading day requirements⁵

Choosing the Right Drawdown for Automation

EOD Trailing (Beginner, EOD, Instant EOD)

Drawdown calculated from end-of-day balance². More forgiving during the session since temporary unrealized losses don't affect drawdown. Best for automated strategies with intraday swings.

Intraday Trailing (Pro)

Drawdown trails open equity in real time². If you are up $500 during the session, your threshold moves up $500 immediately. More restrictive for automated strategies with temporary drawdowns.

Static (Instant Static)

Fixed drawdown that never moves². Simplest for risk management in automated systems since the risk floor is always known.

Tips for Automated Trading

• Use bracket orders: Set stop losses and take profits on every automated trade through TradersPost
• Leverage the soft DLL: Know that hitting the daily loss limit pauses rather than terminates³
• No consistency advantage: Strategies can have variable daily returns without penalty³
• Choose EOD or Instant: End-of-day drawdown is more forgiving for automated strategies²
• Scaling plan: In Live Funded Accounts, each $1,000 in profits unlocks one additional contract¹

Conclusion

Automating Purdia Capital with TradersPost works well through the Tradovate connection¹. The soft daily loss limit³, no consistency rules³, and 90/10 profit split⁵ create a favorable environment for semi-automated strategies.

The main constraints are the $100K maximum allocation², the 3-account limit², and the restriction on copy trading². Verify Purdia Capital's current automation policies on their website before setting up automated trading.
