Your guided tour of TradeXecutor

TradeXecutor is the bridge between your TradingView alerts and your Tradovate accounts. Your charts send webhook alerts to us, we match them to a strategy you configured, and your broker executes — with advanced order types like ATM and OCO brackets, fanned out across multiple accounts simultaneously.

After you sign in, the Dashboard is the only screen you need. From top to bottom, it has three zones that never move and a tab bar that swaps the content below it.

If you ever see a red Signals are paused bar above the status cards, your setup is over a plan limit. It tells you exactly what to fix, and signals resume as soon as you do (see Account Settings).

On your phone

The dashboard adapts to small screens: the same cards, Kill Switch and tabs, stacked in one column.

The strip at the very top of the dashboard is an at-a-glance health check. Four cards, left to right: Webhook, Last Signal, Last Action, Brokers. You don’t need to open any tab to read it — that’s the whole point.

The Kill Switch sits in the action bar directly below the status strip — so on every tab, desktop or mobile, it’s always visible without scrolling. When toggled ON, TradeXecutor continues to receive signals but blocks every outgoing order, across every strategy and every account.

This tab gives you one URL to paste into TradingView’s Alert → Webhook URL field. The URL is unique to your account — it’s how we know an incoming signal belongs to you. There are two buttons: Copy and Regenerate.

1. 1
   Click Copy to put the URL on your clipboard.Never share this URL — it’s effectively a key to your account.
2. 2
   In TradingView, open your alert, tick the Webhook URL checkbox, and paste.The checkbox lives on the alert’s Notifications tab.
3. 3
   Back on the dashboard, press Run Webhook Test to confirm wiring.You’ll see a row appear in the Signals / Actions log.

The Broker Connection tab shows a grid of your Connected Accounts and an + Add Connection button. Each card represents one broker login — a Tradovate personal account or a Tradovate Prop firm connection. You can have multiple cards (e.g. one Apex eval, one paper sim, one live account).

Broker Connection tab

Each card is one login. Under its name you see every trading account that login owns (a prop firm login can have several). There is nothing to select here: you choose which accounts each strategy trades inside the strategy (next lesson). If an account is added or reset at your prop firm later, press Refresh accounts to reload the list.

How to add a connection

Adding a connection is a 4-step process. Here’s each step:

Step 1 — Choose broker type

Step 2 — Name & environment

1. 1
   Press + Add Connection. A modal appears asking you to choose a broker.
2. 2
   Choose tradovate for personal accounts (live or paper sim), or tradovate prop for prop firm accounts (Apex, Topstep, etc.).
3. 3
   Enter a Connection Name (e.g. “Apex Eval”), then choose SIM or LIVE environment. Use SIM for all evaluations and sim-funded accounts. Use LIVE only if you have been specifically issued a live-funded account. Check with your prop firm if unsure. Press Connect — you’re taken to Tradovate’s OAuth page to log in.
4. 4
   After OAuth you return to the Broker Connection tab and see your new card with all the accounts under that login listed on it (for example APEX-4421-01 (41033101)). You do not pick one here: you choose the accounts per strategy in the next lesson. If an account is missing, press Refresh accounts.

A Strategy is a named routing rule. Every incoming webhook is matched to a strategy by name — that match determines which order type and which accounts get the trade. You can have multiple strategies; each is independently armed or disarmed.

Strategies tab

The Send signals to these accounts section lists every login you have connected, with one tick per account:

Tick the accounts this strategy should trade. Each login has a Select all and a Clear link to tick or untick all of its accounts at once (on Basic, Select all stops at your two-account limit). Each ticked account gets its own order with this strategy’s size and brackets, and one account failing never stops the others. Different strategies can tick different accounts on the same login. A strategy with no accounts ticked shows a NEEDS ACCOUNTS badge on the dashboard and stays paused until you tick at least one and save.

How to create a strategy

1. 1
   Press Add Strategy. A new blank entry appears in the dropdown.
2. 2
   Set the Strategy ID / Name — this must match the "id" in your TradingView webhook JSON exactly (case-sensitive).
3. 3
   Add a Description so you can tell strategies apart at a glance.
4. 4
   Use Symbol Search to find your contract (e.g. type MNQ or MNQZ25). Click a result to auto-fill the Contract ID and Tick Size.
5. 5
   Set Order Type (how your entry price is determined) and Order Management mode (OCO, ATM, or Full Auto).
6. 6
   Under Send signals to these accounts, tick each account this strategy should trade. Every account on every connected login is listed.
7. 7
   Toggle Status to ARMED (it turns green and pulses), then press Save Strategy.

When TradingView fires an alert, it POSTs a JSON body to your webhook URL. TradeXecutor reads that body, looks up the "id" field, and matches it against your Strategy names. If the names don’t match, the signal is logged and dropped.

Minimum JSON (OCO strategy)

If your strategy on TradeXecutor is set to OCO Brackets or ATM Strategy, your TradingView alert only needs to tell us which strategy and which direction:

{
  "id": "ORB",
  "symbol": "",
  "direction": "long",
  "price": ""
}

Full JSON (Full Auto mode)Coming soon

Full Auto is coming soon and is in testing. In OCO and ATM you type the stop and targets on the strategy card and every trade uses them. In Full Auto your TradingView strategy works them out fresh for every trade and sends them in the alert. TradeXecutor passes exactly that order to your broker; it never manages or tracks the position for you.

1. Create the strategy, set it to Full Auto, pick the contract with Symbol Search and tick your accounts.
2. On the strategy card, press Copy brief. Your Strategy ID is already inside it.
3. Paste the brief into your AI assistant and ask it to build your TradingView strategy.
4. Run it on a sim account first.

The alert it sends looks like this (distances are in ticks from that order’s own entry, exactly like the ATM card):

{
  "id": "ORB",
  "symbol": "",
  "direction": "long",
  "price": "",
  "atmTargets": [
    {
      "qty": 6,
      "tpTicks": 22,
      "slTicks": 30,
      "slType": "AutoBreakevenAutoTrail",
      "bevenProfitTrigger": 20,
      "bevenOffset": 1,
      "trailStopLoss": 3,
      "trailProfitTrigger": 7
    }
  ]
}

Where to put this in TradingView

In TradingView, open your strategy alert and scroll to Message (sometimes labeled Alert Message). That’s the field that becomes the JSON body of the webhook. Paste the JSON there.

{
  "id": "ORB",   // must match Strategy name
  "symbol": "",
  "direction": "long",
  "price": ""
}

Two log panels side by side: Signals Received on the left (everything that came into your webhook) and Actions on the right (what TradeXecutor did with each one). Above the panels, a Refresh button and a red Clear button.

With several accounts ticked you get one line per account in Actions, for example Tradovateprop: ApexEval / APEX-4421-01 OK (placed). A failure on one account never stops the others.

1. 1
   Open Broker Connection and press + Add Connection. Connect a Tradovate account (your prop firm eval runs in SIM — that’s exactly what we want).
2. 2
   Open Webhook URL and press Copy.
3. 3
   Go to Strategies → Add Strategy. Give it a name you’ll remember (e.g. ORB). Use Symbol Search to pick your contract. Choose OCO Brackets with a small TP and SL (e.g. 20 / 30 ticks). Under Send signals to these accounts, tick your SIM account (Basic allows up to 2 trading accounts in total). Save Strategy.
4. 4
   Confirm the strategy row shows ARMED (green, pulsing).
5. 5
   In TradingView, create an alert on your strategy. In Notifications, tick Webhook URL and paste. In Message, paste this, replacing ORB if you used a different name:

   {
     "id": "ORB",
     "symbol": "",
     "direction": "long",
     "price": ""
   }

6. 6
   Back on TradeXecutor, press Run Webhook Test in the action bar. A row should appear on the Signals / Actions tab — that confirms wiring before you ever fire a real alert.
7. 7
   Trigger the alert (or wait for it). Watch the top status strip — Last Signal then Last Action update — and confirm the order appears in Tradovate.
