Developer documentation for the Signal Trade App API: place orders, read positions, copy trades, and stream connection health with a single API key.
With Signal Trade App you skip the Tradovate developer application entirely. Sign up, go to Settings, and generate an API key in seconds. That single key lets you place orders, read positions, and copy trades across all connected Tradovate accounts.
Tradovate enforces strict per-endpoint quotas that vary by account type. Signal Trade App aggregates and smart-routes requests within those limits so you do not have to track them yourself. Our API allows 120 requests/minute per API key.
Tradovate charges for market data and requires a funded account. Signal Trade App costs $30 for the first month, then $15/mo with a 5-day free trial. A $599 self-hosted lifetime license is also available. There is no separate API fee.
Yes. We maintain persistent WebSocket connections to Tradovate for real-time fills, positions, and order status. You get the speed benefits of WebSocket without writing any WebSocket code — our REST API and webhook endpoints abstract it all into simple HTTP calls.
Yes. Create a webhook token via the API, paste the URL into any TradingView alert, and every alert fires a trade on your Tradovate accounts automatically. No Pine Script changes needed beyond setting the webhook URL and JSON payload.
Not today. A webhook payload supports a single bracket with one take-profit and one stop-loss. Multi-target scale-outs, trailing stops, and automated breakeven moves require multiple API calls or manual management of the remaining position.
