Automate Tradeify with TradersPost

Tradeify accounts can be automated using TradersPost through the Tradovate platform. Tradeify allows trading bots as long as you prove sole ownership of the strategy¹. Commercial systems, shared strategies, and high-frequency trading bots are prohibited¹².

This guide walks through the complete setup process, strategy compliance considerations, and tips for automating through Tradeify's three-stage progression to live capital.

Tradeify's Automation Policy

Tradeify explicitly allows automated trading bots with the following conditions¹²:

• You must prove sole ownership of the automated strategy¹
• The strategy cannot be used across multiple prop firms²
• High-frequency trading (HFT) bots are prohibited¹
• Copy trading between traders is prohibited; copying between your own accounts is allowed²
• Tradeify may request verification including documentation and live video demonstration¹
• Third-party copiers are allowed at your own risk²

Custom TradingView strategies that you personally created and automate through TradersPost satisfy these requirements. The strategy is yours, it executes through your own TradersPost account, and TradingView-based strategies do not operate at HFT speeds.

How TradersPost Connects to Tradeify

The integration works through Tradovate, which is Tradeify's primary execution platform. When you subscribe to a Tradeify evaluation, you receive Tradovate login credentials. These same credentials connect to TradersPost.

The signal chain flows as:

• TradingView fires an alert based on your strategy conditions
• TradersPost receives the webhook signal and processes the order
• Tradovate executes the trade in your Tradeify account

This architecture works for all three stages: evaluation, funded sim, and Tradeify Elite live accounts³.

Setting Up the Integration

Step 1: Subscribe to a Tradeify Evaluation

Purchase a Tradeify evaluation (Select or Growth). Your subscription includes Tradovate platform access with all commissions and exchange fees included⁴. You will receive Tradovate login credentials after registration.

Step 2: Connect Tradovate to TradersPost

In your TradersPost account, navigate to the Brokers section and add a new Tradovate connection. Enter the credentials from your Tradeify account. TradersPost will authenticate and display your available trading accounts.

Step 3: Configure TradingView Alerts

Build your strategy or indicator in TradingView. Create alerts that send webhook messages to your TradersPost webhook URL. Include the ticker, action (buy/sell), and any position sizing or bracket order parameters in the alert message.

Step 4: Test in Paper Mode

Before running automation on your Tradeify account, test the full signal chain in TradersPost paper trading mode. Verify alert timing, order execution, and position sizing. Pay particular attention to the 4:59 PM ET closure requirement⁵.

Strategy Compliance Considerations

Microscalping Rule

More than 50% of your trades must be held longer than 10 seconds². When designing automated strategies:

• Set minimum hold times in your strategy logic (15-30 seconds minimum target)
• Avoid strategies that scalp on 1-second or tick charts with immediate exits
• Use bracket orders with targets far enough from entry to require more than 10 seconds to fill
• Monitor your trade duration statistics in TradersPost logs to ensure compliance

Consistency Rule (Select Evaluation Only)

During the Select evaluation, no single day can exceed 40% of total profits⁶. Automated strategies should include daily profit targets or position size reductions after significant gains. Note: Growth evaluation has no consistency rule⁷, and Select Flex funded accounts also have no consistency rule⁸.

Position Closure by 4:59 PM ET

All positions must be closed by 4:59 PM ET daily⁵. On holidays with early close, the cutoff is 12:59 PM ET⁵. Build an automated flatten alert in TradingView that fires at 4:55 PM ET to close any open positions through TradersPost. Add buffer time for execution delays.

Daily Loss Limit

Select evaluation has no daily loss limit⁹. However, Select Daily funded accounts have daily loss limits of $1,000/$1,250/$1,750 for 50K/100K/150K accounts⁸⁹. Select Flex funded accounts have no daily loss limit⁸. Growth accounts have soft daily loss limits that pause trading but do not breach the account⁹.

Automating Through the Three Stages

Stage 1: Evaluation

Run your automated strategy to pass the evaluation. The EOD trailing drawdown¹⁰ gives your strategy more room to operate intraday. Focus on hitting the profit target consistently.

Stage 2: Funded Sim

Continue running the same strategy on your funded sim account. The same TradersPost connection carries over. Focus on achieving 5 successful payouts to advance to Tradeify Elite³.

Stage 3: Tradeify Elite

At this stage, you trade live CME capital³. Your TradersPost automation continues working through the same Tradovate connection. Elite traders can hold up to 5 live funded accounts³ and have no daily loss limit³.

Tips for Automated Prop Trading

• Track trade durations: Monitor your average hold time to ensure microscalping rule compliance²
• Document your strategy: Keep records of your strategy development in case Tradeify requests ownership verification¹
• Build redundant flatten alerts: Create multiple flatten alerts at slightly different times (4:50 PM, 4:55 PM ET) to ensure position closure⁵
• Start conservative: Use fewer contracts than the maximum during the evaluation to build a drawdown buffer
• Consider Select Flex for automation: Select Flex has no daily loss limit on the funded account⁸, giving automated strategies more room

Conclusion

Tradeify's bot-friendly policy¹ and Tradovate foundation make it a natural fit for TradersPost automation. The key compliance requirements are the microscalping rule², position closure by 4:59 PM ET⁵, and proving sole ownership of your strategy¹.

The three-stage progression means your automation can scale from evaluation through to live funded accounts without changing the technical setup³. Test thoroughly in paper mode before deploying.

Verify Tradeify's current bot policies on their website before setting up automated trading, as terms may evolve.
