PickMyTrade

PickMyTrade is automation middleware, not a broker: it receives an alert from TradingView, reads the JSON message inside it, and places the corresponding order on a broker account the trader already owns. Its own terms describe it as “not a registered broker or investment adviser”. Its most detailed features and documentation are built around Tradovate, which is why this review centres on the Tradovate workflow.

What PickMyTrade is

PickMyTrade is operated by PickMyTrade Pvt. Ltd., which describes the product as a cloud-based trading automation platform founded in 2023. It doesn’t generate signals, chart markets or backtest strategies. The trading logic lives in a TradingView strategy or indicator the trader controls, and PickMyTrade’s job is to turn the resulting alert into an order, with any take-profit, stop-loss and sizing rules attached. It also offers a trade copier for trades placed by hand. Its terms are governed by Indian law, with disputes going to arbitration in Jaipur.

Two sites, split by broker

PickMyTrade names three official domains: pickmytrade.com, pickmytrade.trade and pickmytrade.io. According to its own FAQ, Tradovate accounts are connected on pickmytrade.trade, while “all other brokers” use pickmytrade.io. Each has its own app, its own webhook address and its own documentation site. Billing works differently on each side. On pickmytrade.trade, one subscription covers one Tradovate login and any sub-accounts under it. On pickmytrade.io, each subscription is assigned to a specific broker connection and can later be moved or merged. PickMyTrade’s documentation doesn’t say whether one login or one subscription carries across both sites, so a trader using Tradovate and another broker should check that with PickMyTrade before paying.

The core workflow: TradingView alert, JSON, broker

On Tradovate, the workflow has three steps. The trader connects a Tradovate account in PickMyTrade, choosing live or demo mode. PickMyTrade says it is an authorized Tradovate vendor and that a separate Tradovate API purchase isn’t needed. The trader then generates an alert in PickMyTrade, which produces a JSON message, and pastes it into a TradingView alert with the PickMyTrade webhook URL enabled. When the alert fires, PickMyTrade reads the JSON and places the order.

The JSON differs slightly by source. For a TradingView strategy, the action comes from the strategy itself ({{strategy.order.action}}). For an indicator, the alert sets buy, sell or close explicitly. TradingView’s webhook alerts need a paid TradingView plan (see our TradingView review). PickMyTrade’s own checklist warns against “unsupported TradingView plans” without naming them.

Order handling: take profit, stop loss, trailing, breakeven and sizing

PickMyTrade’s JSON reference documents the fields that control each order:

• Take profit and stop loss: set in points, dollars or percent. If a value isn’t in the alert, PickMyTrade applies any predefined setting instead. Separate options update an existing take-profit or stop-loss order rather than placing a new one.
• Trailing stop: a trailing distance, a trigger (how far price must move in the trade’s favour before trailing starts) and a frequency (how far it must move for each update). These can be set in points or dollars, percentage, ticks or total profit/loss.
• Breakeven: once price moves a set amount in the trade’s favour, the stop moves to the entry price, or beyond it by an optional offset in the same unit as the risk settings.
• Sizing: a fixed quantity, or a risk percentage from which PickMyTrade calculates the quantity using the stop loss and account balance. With risk percentage, a stop loss is mandatory; without one, PickMyTrade’s error guide says the alert fails.
• Pyramiding and reversal: with pyramiding off, which is the default, a new buy or sell alert closes any open position first. With it on, alerts in the same direction add to the position. A separate setting closes an opposite position before a new trade.

These are instructions PickMyTrade sends to the broker, not guarantees about the fill: stop and trailing orders execute at whatever price the market gives them.

Multiple accounts and the Manual Trade Copier

PickMyTrade has two ways to trade more than one Tradovate account, and they work differently.

One alert, several accounts. A single TradingView alert can place trades on several Tradovate accounts at once: sub-accounts under the same login, or accounts under other logins added with their own PickMyTrade token. Each account gets either a quantity multiplier or its own risk percentage.

Manual Trade Copier. This is for trades placed by hand. The trader picks one admin Tradovate account, places a trade on it from TradingView, and the copier repeats the trade on linked accounts with a quantity multiplier. Cancelling the order in TradingView cancels it on the linked accounts too. PickMyTrade documents three limits:

• only one admin account is supported;
• take-profit and stop-loss brackets are supported only when the entry is a market order;
• copying to a different Tradovate login requires a separate PickMyTrade account.

On pickmytrade.io, a separate ProjectX copier can copy from a ProjectX account to other ProjectX accounts or to Tradovate accounts.

Copied trades are separate orders on each account. PickMyTrade’s own documentation says fills and stop-loss exits can differ by a tick or two between copied demo or funded accounts, so one account can be stopped out while another stays open briefly. It advises against strategies that target only 1–2 ticks.

Risk limits and contract rollover

PickMyTrade has its own daily and weekly loss and profit limits for each connected account. When a limit is reached, it can block new trades for the rest of the day or week. These limits are separate from Tradovate’s own broker-side risk settings, which PickMyTrade documents in a separate guide, and one shouldn’t be mistaken for the other.

For futures, PickMyTrade’s rollover rule covers symbols, not positions. When an alert uses a continuous contract symbol, PickMyTrade moves its mapping to the next contract four days before expiry, with a notice six days before. Open positions aren’t rolled: in PickMyTrade’s words, “You are responsible for closing futures contract positions before they expire or manually rolling them over.” It also recommends trading exact contract symbols rather than continuous ones, because its rollover timing may differ from TradingView’s or the broker’s.

Supported connections, and how well each is documented

PickMyTrade lists these connections on its sites:

• Tradovate
• Interactive Brokers
• ProjectX (the platform behind TopstepX)
• Rithmic
• TradeStation
• TradeLocker
• Match-Trader
• Tradier
• cTrader
• Ironbeam

The list isn’t identical everywhere. PickMyTrade’s .trade site labels Tradier, cTrader and Ironbeam as Beta, while its .io and .com pages list them without that label. The .io broker index also lists Tradeify as a separate entry. Tastytrade appears only as an upcoming connection, and NinjaTrader isn’t listed.

The depth of documentation behind each listing differs:

• Documented in detail:
  • Tradovate, with the largest set of guides, covering everything described above.
  • Interactive Brokers, with guides for setup, strategies, indicators, options, multiple accounts and TWS settings.
  • ProjectX, with guides for setup, alerts, brackets, error codes and its copier.
• Limited documentation:
  • Rithmic, TradeStation, TradeLocker, Match-Trader, Tradier, cTrader and Ironbeam each have a few setup or alert guides, but little beyond that.
  • The connection guides for Ironbeam, Tradier and cTrader were first published in August 2026.
• Listing only:
  • Tradeify appears on the .io broker index, but we didn’t find documentation for it as a connection of its own.

For futures specifically, PickMyTrade documents Tradovate, Rithmic, Interactive Brokers, ProjectX and Ironbeam. Its Tradier guide covers stocks and options. Some connections carry limits of their own:

• Interactive Brokers: PickMyTrade connects through Trader Workstation, which must stay open and logged in during trading hours.
• Rithmic: a non-trial account is required.
• ProjectX: only one take profit and one stop loss per symbol.

Prop-firm positioning, and why to verify it yourself

PickMyTrade markets itself heavily to prop-firm traders. Its prop-firm page says it supports a list of firms, plus any firm that runs on a broker it connects to. It also says it works with evaluation, funded and performance accounts. Treat that as PickMyTrade’s own claim, not as confirmation that a given firm allows automation. The same page asks “Does PickMyTrade guarantee my prop firm allows automated or copy trading?” and answers “No.”

PickMyTrade adds that each firm sets its own rules, and that those rules vary and change over time. Its own documentation also contradicts the blanket “any firm on a supported broker” claim: its Rithmic setup guide says Bulenox accounts aren’t supported through Rithmic. PickMyTrade publishes its own summaries of individual firms’ rules, which we haven’t verified and don’t repeat here. Before connecting a funded or evaluation account, confirm with your specific firm, for your account type and connection, that automated or copied trades are allowed.

Pricing, trial, cancellation and refunds

PickMyTrade has one plan with no feature tiers. Its pickmytrade.trade pricing page lists $50 per month or $500 per year, with unlimited trades and strategies and unlimited sub-accounts under one broker login. Its pickmytrade.io and pickmytrade.com pages also list a $135 quarterly plan, which the .trade pricing page doesn’t show.

The subscription covers one broker login. Connecting a different broker or prop-firm login is a separate subscription, so a trader with accounts under two Tradovate logins pays twice. The subscription also doesn’t include anything the broker, TradingView or market data costs on its own.

Trial. PickMyTrade’s pricing pages on both pickmytrade.trade and pickmytrade.io advertise a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. A trial account can be bound to only one broker account; moving that binding needs PickMyTrade support or a paid plan.

Cancellation. A subscription can be cancelled from the dashboard. Access continues until the end of the current billing period, and saved settings remain if the trader subscribes again.

Refunds. Both versions of PickMyTrade’s terms say it “does not offer refunds for any payments made, including unused or partial months of a subscription”, and its FAQ says the same. The pickmytrade.io homepage nonetheless advertises a “5-Day Money Back” offer. Until PickMyTrade reconciles the two, a trader shouldn’t count on a refund after paying.

Where PickMyTrade’s own documentation disagrees

Several of PickMyTrade’s current official pages contradict each other. We report each conflict rather than choosing a side:

• Quarterly plan. pickmytrade.trade lists only $50/month and $500/year. pickmytrade.io and pickmytrade.com also list $135 per quarter.
• Trial length. The pricing pages say 7 days. A docs FAQ entry, last updated November 7, 2025, says the standard trial “lasts five days” on both sites. The pricing pages are the more recent statement, but PickMyTrade still publishes both.
• Refunds. The terms (updated July and October 2026) and the FAQ say no refunds. The pickmytrade.io homepage advertises a 5-day money-back offer.
• Limit orders from strategies. One guide says that on Tradovate, strategy signals “are always sent as market orders” and that limit and stop orders “are not supported for strategies”. Another guide explains how to automate TradingView strategies with limit orders on Tradovate. Both were last updated September 29, 2026, and neither refers to the other. The JSON reference adds a third reading: passing a price makes an order a limit order, even though its own templates pass a price by default. How PickMyTrade handles strategy limit orders today is unclear from its documentation.
• Copier brackets. The Manual Trade Copier guide says brackets work only with market entries, but the same guide later walks through a limit entry with take profit and stop loss attached.

Where PickMyTrade falls short

Refunds are the most material risk for a buyer. The terms say no refunds, and the money-back offer on one homepage doesn’t change what the terms say.

Breadth is uneven. Tradovate gets the full feature set and most of the documentation. Other connections range from detailed to setup-only, and three carry a Beta label on one of PickMyTrade’s own sites.

The product itself has limits:

• open futures positions aren’t rolled;
• the copier supports one admin account and attaches brackets only to market entries;
• every extra broker login costs another subscription.

The documentation conflicts on order types, the trial and pricing, so some answers need confirming with PickMyTrade directly.

Prop-firm compatibility is something PickMyTrade lists, not something it guarantees.

Who PickMyTrade is best for

PickMyTrade fits futures traders who already have a TradingView strategy or indicator and trade on Tradovate. That includes traders with several accounts under one Tradovate login who want take-profit, stop-loss, trailing, breakeven and sizing rules attached to each alert. It also fits traders who place trades by hand in TradingView and want them copied to other Tradovate accounts.

Who should look elsewhere

Look elsewhere if you want signals or strategy ideas rather than a way to execute your own. The same applies if you need a refund route after paying, or if you depend on a connection PickMyTrade documents only briefly or labels Beta. Prop-firm traders who haven’t confirmed their firm’s rules for automated and copied trades should do that before connecting an account.
