Prop firms that allow TradingView webhook alerts
TradingView won't place orders on most prop platforms by itself — you bridge the alert to your broker. Here is which firms work with that setup, the route for futures vs forex, and the policies that matter.
⚠ Rules change often. Prop-firm automation policies and drawdown models change frequently. Always verify the firm's current Terms of Service before deploying any strategy on their account. Figures here were checked May 2026.
TradingView does not talk to most prop-firm platforms directly. To trade from a TradingView webhook alert, you put a bridge in the middle: the alert hits the bridge, the bridge sends the order to your broker. The bridge you pick depends on your market.
Two routes
- Futures (MNQ, MGC): TradingView → TradersPost → Tradovate (or Topstep's TopstepX).
- Forex / CFD (NAS100, XAUUSD): TradingView → PineConnector → MetaTrader 5.
See TradersPost vs PineConnector for how to choose, and the setup guide for the wiring.
Futures prop firms that work with TradingView alerts
| Firm | Drawdown model | Route | Automation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apex Trader Funding | EOD trailing* | TradersPost → Tradovate / TopstepX | Yes |
| Topstep | EOD trailing | TradersPost → Tradovate | Yes (no setup support) |
| MyFundedFutures | EOD / intraday / static (by plan) | TradersPost → Tradovate / TopstepX | Yes |
| Tradeify | EOD trailing | TradersPost → Tradovate | Yes |
| Lucid Trading | EOD trailing | TradersPost → Tradovate | Yes |
| TradeDay | EOD / intraday / static | TradersPost → Tradovate (Rithmic needs PickMyTrade) | Yes |
*Apex offers multiple account types; some are intraday-trailing. Confirm your plan.
Forex / CFD prop firms (NAS + XAU)
| Firm | Drawdown model | Route | Automation |
|---|---|---|---|
| FTMO | Static (2-step) / trailing (1-step) | PineConnector → MT5 | Yes (no latency arb) |
| FundingPips | Static | PineConnector → MT5 | Yes |
| Funded Trading Plus | Static | PineConnector → MT5 | Yes |
| FundedNext (Stellar) | Static | PineConnector → MT5 | Yes |
Forex prop accounts are usually static-drawdown swing evaluations, so the Forex Champion and Focus portfolios run NAS + XAU through PineConnector to MT5.
Caveats before you wire anything
- Confirm your specific account type — drawdown model and automation rules can differ between a firm's plans.
- HFT, latency arbitrage and tick-scalping are banned almost everywhere.
- Mass-rented identical bots get flagged; a private, rules-based script does not behave that way.
- For MT5 you generally want a VPS so the bridge stays online.

Which execution layer works with which firm, and what it costs
| Bridge | Connects TradingView to | Firms reachable | Monthly cost (checked Sep 2026) | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TradersPost | Tradovate and ProjectX only — not Rithmic | Apex, MFF, Tradeify, Lucid, TradeDay, Topstep (ProjectX) | From $49 (Starter), higher tiers ~$99–$199 | Cloud-hosted; JSON payload; the default for futures |
| PineConnector | MT4 / MT5 only | FTMO, FundingPips, forex firms | $39 Starter, $79 Advanced, $159 Professional (~$26 effective on annual); Cloud retired 31 Mar 2026 — VPS required (~$30) | Comma-separated payload; not for futures |
| TradeSyncer | Rithmic, Tradovate, NinjaTrader, ProjectX, TradingView | Most futures firms | Subscription; verify current tier | Copier across accounts, not a webhook bridge per se |
| PickMyTrade | Tradovate, Rithmic, NinjaTrader | Futures firms on those platforms | ~$600 / year flat | Alternative to TradersPost |
| Native TopstepX copier | TopstepX only | Topstep | Included | Same device, no VPS |
The rule that matters more than the bridge choice: on Apex funded accounts a fully unattended bridge is a violation since March 2026, while the same setup is fine in the evaluation. Alert-driven execution with the trader present is the compliant mode there. Take Profit Trader restricts bots on funded PRO. Everywhere else the bridge is allowed under anti-HFT clauses.

FAQ
Does TradingView connect to a prop firm directly?
Rarely. For futures and forex prop accounts you use a bridge — TradersPost for futures (Tradovate / TopstepX) or PineConnector for MT5 forex — that converts the alert into a broker order.
How much does the bridge cost?
Budget roughly $65–80/month all-in for full automation including the bridge; manual trading from alerts is about $15/month (TradingView only).
Which firms are best for TradingView automated strategies?
For futures: Apex, Topstep, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify and Lucid. For forex: FTMO, FundingPips and Funded Trading Plus. Always confirm the current rules of your specific plan.
Is webhook / alert trading allowed?
Yes at the firms above, provided the strategy follows risk rules and avoids latency arbitrage, tick-scalping and mass-distributed identical bots.
