Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Here’s how a trader might set up automation for Alpha Ticks with PickMyTrade:
- Confirm Automation Policy
Check with Alpha Futures support or documentation that they allow third-party automation (PickMyTrade) on the AlphaTicks ProjectX platform. - Access ProjectX via AlphaTicks
Use your Alpha Futures / AlphaTicks dashboard to launch ProjectX. - Connect PickMyTrade
Sign up or log into PickMyTrade, go to Connections (or relevant section), add ProjectX / AlphaTicks credentials or webhook/API access. - Generate Alerts
Using PickMyTrade’s alert builder, define alerts in TradingView with parameters: symbol, action (buy/sell), quantity or lot size, stop-loss, take-profit, optional risk overlays. - Paste Webhook JSON into TradingView
Configure TradingView alerts to send the webhook messages when your strategy conditions are met. - Demo / Small-Scale Testing
Before trading full size, test with demo or minimal capital to ensure orders execute correctly, SL/TP are triggered, and no misfires. - Go Live & Monitor
Once confident, move to live or funded-sized trades. Monitor every alert → executed trade, check logs, ensure compliance with Alpha Futures evaluation rules (drawdown, consistency, daily loss etc.).
Pro Tips for Automation on Alpha Ticks
- Always include both stop-loss and take-profit in alerts to control risk.
- Keep an eye on latency and execution under high volatility. ProjectX does well, but all platforms have delays sometimes.
- Use cooldown filters to prevent duplicate alerts or high frequency trades you didn’t intend.
- Know the firm’s drawdown, daily loss, and consistency rules; set risk overlays to safely stay within them.
- Maintain logs / journal of alerts-vs-filled trades to review performance and compliance.
Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
- Assuming automation is allowed without checking policy → might violate terms.
- Misconfiguring JSON / webhook → errors in execution.
- Not testing in demo/small size → surprises in live.
- Using live vs demo settings wrong (webhook target, account mode).
- Ignoring risk rules (overnight, weekend, leverage) that the firm may specify.
Trading with Alpha Futures on the Alpha Ticks (ProjectX) platform gives traders a professional-grade environment to prove their skills. But success in prop firm challenges or funded accounts isn’t just about strategy—it’s about flawless execution and strict risk discipline. By automating your trades with PickMyTrade, you bridge the gap between TradingView signals and ProjectX execution, reducing errors, improving speed, and keeping your trading consistent.
Whether you’re aiming to pass the evaluation or scale up a funded account, automation can be the difference between falling short and achieving steady success with Alpha Futures.
