Tradovate

futures Username / password

Futures only, and the most common route into prop firm accounts.

For automating funded and evaluation accounts, Tradovate is the path most people end up on — real-time fills, bracket orders handled natively, and support across a long list of prop firms.

Asset classes

Futures

Order types

Bracket (stop-loss + take-profit together)
One-triggers-other (stop-loss OR take-profit alone)

How you connect

Username, password, and an API key (cid/sec) from your Tradovate dashboard — all four required

How connecting works

Pick paper or live

Practice with simulated fills first, or connect a funded account and trade with real money.

Enter your login and API key

Your Tradovate username, password, and a cid/sec key pair generated from your Tradovate dashboard — all required together.

Assign it to a strategy

Point any strategy at this connection and every signal it receives routes straight to your account.

Good to know

No market-data add-on needed for the API. With two-factor authentication turned on, expect a 401 until you approve the connection from the email Tradovate sends — check spam if it doesn't show up. The API doesn't expose open-position P&L, so always include a price on limit orders.
