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 a ProjectX-based platform.
- 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 |

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 Prop 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.

FAQ
Does TradingView connect to a prop firm directly?
Rarely. For futures and forex prop accounts you use a bridge — TradersPost for futures (Tradovate/ProjectX) 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.
