Can I automate Tradovate from TradingView?
Yes. CrossTrade can receive a TradingView webhook alert and route an eligible order to a connected Tradovate account. Test the exact alert and order payload in demo before using live funds.
TRADOVATE
APPROVED API PARTNER
Tradovate runs in the cloud. So does everything we add to it.
CrossTrade connects through partner-level OAuth and adds the layer above it: webhook orders, a multi-account copier, server-side risk rules, a REST API, and AI access. All of it runs on our servers against Tradovate's API, so your computer can be off.

What CrossTrade adds to Tradovate
Tradovate handles the brokerage, the matching, and the platform you place orders in. What it leaves to you is everything around a multi-account operation: mirroring one account to several, holding each to its own loss limit, reviewing what happened afterwards, and driving any of it from your own tools.
CrossTrade adds that layer, and it runs where Tradovate runs. Because both sides live in the cloud, there is no add-on to install and no VPS to rent. To automate Tradovate from TradingView, add destination=tradovate; to an alert. The same account is equally reachable from a REST call or an AI client.
Approved access, not a workaround
Tradovate's partner API program is closed to new applicants. CrossTrade is already inside.
✓ Authorized Tradovate OAuth Partner
✓ NinjaTrader-Approved Trade Copier
✓ NinjaTrader Ecosystem Vendor
Every CrossTrade order reaches Tradovate through partner-level OAuth access to the Tradovate API, an approval NinjaTrader grants to very few and no longer hands out. You authorize once on Tradovate's own login screen, CrossTrade never sees your password, and you can revoke the link any time. When funded accounts depend on the connection, official access matters: no password sharing, no screen-scraping, no workaround that breaks on the next platform update.
Tradovate webhook trading questions
Do I need a VPS for Tradovate webhook trading?
Not for CrossTrade's cloud Tradovate Web webhook route. The alert is received and routed in the cloud, so a local computer and VPS are not required for that workflow.
What should I test before I trade live?
Confirm the TradingView alert fires, the webhook payload is valid, the connected account is correct, the symbol and quantity are correct, and the order behaves as expected in demo. Traders are responsible for their broker, prop-firm, and risk rules.
The full lineup
Every one of these runs server-side against Tradovate's API, with your computer off.
☁
Cloud connection
Authorize once from My Account, Brokers tab. CrossTrade holds only a refresh token, never your password, and the link runs entirely in the cloud. Your computer can be off.
⚡
Webhook automation
Add destination=tradovate; to your alert and the order routes to your linked account, using the command syntax you already use. Brackets and ATM-style exits are supported.
🔁
Tradovate Trade Copier
Mirror a leader account to as many followers as you need, with independent sizing ratios, symbol replacement, inversion, and risk-bound copying. Three modes: signal mode preserves your order types, execution mode mirrors every broker fill, and order mode (beta) mirrors the leader's working orders. Execution and order modes include manual trades.
🛡
Account Manager
Daily profit and loss thresholds, minimum profit, trailing drawdown, scheduled flattening, and signal locks, per account. The rules keep enforcing whether or not you are at the screen.
🔧
REST API and AI agents
The same linked account is reachable over the /v1/api/tv endpoints from any language, and from an AI client through the Tradovate MCP tools, under the same scopes and safeguards as the rest of the platform.
🏦
Prop-firm friendly
Lucid, Tradeify, and other Tradovate-based funded firms link through Link Demo. Funded and evaluation accounts are Tradovate Demo accounts, and CrossTrade handles them.
🤖
Compliance handled
Tradovate requires automated orders to be flagged. CrossTrade sets isAutomated on every order it places for you. There is nothing to configure.
🧭
Review what happened
Alert History badges every Tradovate order, the broker toggle switches your live positions, orders, and P&L between NinjaTrader and Tradovate, and your Tradovate fills flow into the same trading journal as the rest of your accounts.
Link it once, then drive it any way you like
Authorize Tradovate once, address it with destination=tradovate;, then send a Demo test and confirm it in Alert History.
