The order fills only vs alert() function calls choice depends on where your order message lives. For a strategy, paste generated alert code into the TradingView Message box? Choose Order fills only. Does the strategy build the full order message inside its own alert() calls? Choose alert() function calls only. Select both only when one
A Rithmic access denied error on an automation platform almost never means your password is wrong. It means your Rithmic user ID can log in but isn’t cleared to send orders through the API. R|Trader Pro checks the first permission. An automation bridge needs the second, and only the firm that issued your credentials can
Ping Tradovate’s API from a Chicago VPS and you’ll typically get a reply in 0 to 1 millisecond. Ping Rithmic from the same machine and the number barely moves. So is the Rithmic vs Tradovate speed question a tie? Not quite. When we tested where each hostname resolves, only one of those replies came from
A daily loss limit sounds simple until you automate around one. You set a number and assume your bot will enforce it the way you would. Most setups don’t, and that gap is where funded accounts get blown. A human trader who sees the account down $480 on a $500 limit hesitates before the next
Most “TrendSpider vs TradingView” articles compare charting tools, indicator libraries, and AI scanners. That’s the wrong fight if what you actually want is a trade landing in your broker account without you clicking a mouse. Here’s the question nobody answers cleanly: can either platform send an order to a broker by itself? The honest answer
Moving your stop-loss to breakeven feels like the responsible move. Price runs in your favor, you protect your capital, you sleep easier. But ask any trader who got stopped out at exactly $0.00 minutes before the market ran another 20 points their way, and you’ll hear a different story. Trading educators call this the breakeven
Key Takeaways• PickMyTrade’s Active Hours setting restricts trading to a start and end time entered in Eastern Time (ET), with options to leave positions open, close one account, or close all accounts when the window ends.• PickMyTrade’s documentation does not explicitly state whether its ET field auto-adjusts for Daylight Saving Time — verify this yourself
Your TradingView alert fires, your automation tool sends the order, and instead of a fill you get a JSON blob with an errorCode field that isn’t 0. That’s the whole problem with ProjectX errors: the API tells you exactly what went wrong, but the message is buried in a field most traders never look at.
Rithmic connection errors almost never mean Rithmic itself is down. I’ve spent years connecting TradingView alerts to Rithmic-based accounts through PickMyTrade. In that time, the overwhelming majority of “Logon Failed,” “No Handle,” and “Market Data Connection Failed” messages have traced back to five fixable causes on the user’s side. Rarely is it an outage on
You set up your bot, the TradingView alert fires, and instead of a fill you get a one-line rejection: AutoLiq 50000.0%. Or Access Denied. Or something vague about entitlement. No context, no next step. Just a red string in your order log. I’ve routed thousands of automated orders into Tradovate and Rithmic accounts. Here’s the
