1. Introduction #

This guide explains how to use the PickMyTrade trade copier to copy manual trades from TradingView to multiple accounts on Tradovate. The copied trades can be executed on personal or client accounts.

Currently, only one admin account is supported for copier trading.

2. Setting Up Trade Copier in PickMyTrade #

To copy trades within your existing Tradovate login, follow these steps:

Choose the main account from which you want to copy trades.

Step 2: Add Sub-Accounts #

Specify the Tradovate sub-accounts where trades will be copied.

Step 3: Activate Copy Trading #

Ensure the sub-account is active.

Step 4: Set the Quantity Multiplier #

– Multiplier = 1 → Trade size remains the same as the main account.
– Multiplier = 2 → Trade size doubles in the sub-account.

2.2 Copy Trade into Another Tradovate Login #

If you want to copy trades into a different Tradovate login, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a New PickMyTrade Account #

Each PickMyTrade account is linked to a single Tradovate login. To connect to another Tradovate account, create a new PickMyTrade account.

Step 2: Enter the PickMyTrade Token #

Input the token associated with the other Tradovate account in the designated field.

Step 3: Add and Activate the Tradovate Account #

Ensure the account is active.

Step 4: Set the Quantity Multiplier #

– Trade size remains the same.
– Trade size doubles.

Admin Tradovate Account: Master Account – from which you want to copy trades.

Client Tradovate Account: Sub Account – from where trades will be copied.

3. Connecting TradingView to Tradovate #

Step 1: Open TradingView #

Step 2: Connect the Account #

Connect the account that will execute ltrades (e.g., demo34911458).

Step 3: Verify Monitored Accounts in Tradovate #

Ensure monitored accounts are open in Tradovate (Example: demo291396, demo36767).

Step 4: Adjust Quantity Multiplier #

– Left Window (TradingView): Demo34911458 – Main Account
– Right Window (Tradovate): Demo291396, Demo36767 – Sub-Accounts

4. Placing Trades from TradingView #

4.1 Placing a Market Order #

Step 1: Place a Market Order on TradingView #

Step 2: Set Quantity, Take Profit (TP), and Stop Loss (SL) #

Step 3: Order Execution #

• A market order fills immediately.

• The copier replicates the trade in linked accounts.

Left Window (TradingView): Demo34911458 – Order Filled

Right Window (Tradovate): Demo291396, Demo36767 – Order also filled in copy trade accounts

4.2 Example: Quantity Multiplier #

If Quantity Multiplier is set to 2:

• Source Account: 2 units – Master Account (TradingView)
• First Client Account: 2 units – Sub-Account (demo291396)
• Second Client Account: 4 units – Sub-Account (demo36767)

First Client Account: 2 units – Sub-Account: Demo291396

Second Client Account: 4 units – Sub-Account: Demo36767

4.3 Canceling a Trade #

Canceling the trade in TradingView cancels it across all linked accounts.

Main Account (TradingView): Order Canceled

Sub-Accounts (Tradovate): Order Also Canceled

5. Placing a Sell and Limit Order #

Step 1: Place a Sell Order with Limit Entry #

Step 2: Set Take Profit (TP) and Stop Loss (SL) Levels #

Step 3: The Copier Copies the Trade  to all linked accounts. #

Sub-Accounts (Tradovate): Order Also Modified via Copy Trading

6. Managing Stop Orders #

Sub-Accounts (Tradovate): Order Also Executed via Copy Trading
