Link Trading Software

Connect Tradovate, Rithmic, and prop firm accounts in a single dashboard.

Managing multiple broker accounts is one of the biggest operational challenges in modern futures trading. Prop firm traders often hold accounts at Apex, Take Profit Trader, Lucid Trading, and MyFundedFutures simultaneously — each on a different platform or evaluation environment. Signal Trade App's link trading software consolidates every account into a single dashboard, eliminating the need to log into five separate portals to check positions and balances.

The account linking process establishes persistent, encrypted connections to each broker. For Tradovate-based accounts, OAuth grants secure access without exposing passwords. For Rithmic-based accounts (including Apex Trader Funding and Take Profit Trader), you sign in with your Rithmic username, password and system, and a persistent WebSocket subscription streams order and position updates directly from Rithmic's infrastructure. Accounts you trade in NinjaTrader are linked through the Tradovate or Rithmic connection behind them. Once connected, each account streams position updates, balance changes, and fill notifications over TLS-encrypted WebSocket connections.

Our unified dashboard displays a real-time portfolio view that aggregates data across every linked account. See combined open P&L and positions across all brokers in one place. Drill down into any account to view its individual positions, today's trades, and connection status, and open the Risk Management page to see how much drawdown each account has left.

Link trading software is not just about visibility — it is about operational efficiency. When you link accounts through Signal Trade App, you can create copy groups that route trades from one leader account to any combination of followers across different brokers. A Rithmic leader can feed Tradovate followers at other firms, while a Tradovate leader can copy to Rithmic accounts at another firm. The linking layer handles broker translation automatically.

Security architecture for linked accounts follows a zero-trust model. Credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256 and never exposed in the frontend or logs. Signal Trade App API keys are scoped to read or trade permissions. You can remove any linked account from the Connections page. Tradovate connects by OAuth, so we never see your Tradovate password; Rithmic logins are stored encrypted. Our servers only place orders and read positions — they never request withdrawals.

The software maintains persistent connection health monitoring for every linked account. If a WebSocket drops, the system attempts automatic reconnection with exponential backoff. If a connection is lost, its status changes on the Connections page and you can get an email alert, so you can reconnect before you place critical trades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which brokers and prop firms can I link?

Signal Trade App supports Tradovate and Rithmic, including accounts you trade in NinjaTrader through them. That covers prop firm accounts that run on Tradovate or Rithmic, such as Apex, Take Profit Trader, MyFundedFutures, and Lucid Trading. It does not connect to Topstep or TopstepX.

Is my account data secure when linked?

Yes. Broker tokens and Rithmic logins are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and transmitted over TLS. Tradovate connects by OAuth, so we never see that password, and you can remove any connection from the Connections page.

Can I link live, demo, and eval accounts together?

Yes. Tradovate connections can be Live, Demo or Prop firm, and Rithmic connections live or paper. You choose which accounts go in each copy group, so copying only happens between the accounts you put together.

Is Signal Trade App free to use?

Signal Trade App includes a 5-day free trial of all features with no charge until it ends. After the trial, plans start at $29/month. A $599 self-hosted lifetime license is also available.

What brokers and prop firms are supported?

Signal Trade App supports Tradovate and Rithmic accounts, including NinjaTrader accounts that run on them. That covers prop firms such as Apex Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, Lucid Trading, MyFundedFutures and Tradeify. It does not connect to Topstep's TopstepX (ProjectX) platform.

Do trades copy when my computer is off?

Yes. Signal Trade App runs entirely in the cloud. Your copy groups stay active 24/7 even when your laptop is closed, your internet drops, or you are away from your desk.
