Tradovate Prop gives firms a platform and risk engine on Tradovate. Signal Trade App adds a fully branded platform that also covers Rithmic, with cross-broker copying, a journal and an API.
Tradovate Prop (prop.tradovate.com), from NinjaTrader Group, presents Tradovate's platform to prop firm traders. Its site lists TradingView charts with custom indicators, "advanced risk controls" such as daily loss caps, profit targets and volume controls, Group Trading as a built-in trade copier, bracket orders, and web, desktop and mobile apps, with firms such as Apex Trader Funding, FTMO and Lucid Trading featured (checked 2026-10-16). Pricing for firms is not published.
It is a strong, trusted option, and its risk engine is a genuine strength: it is where your rules are enforced.
For Tradovate firms, Signal Trade App is usually an add-on rather than a replacement: keep Tradovate as the rail and risk engine, and give traders a platform with your brand on it. For firms on Rithmic, or on both, it is the platform layer Tradovate Prop does not cover.

Firms running both Tradovate and Rithmic accounts benefit most: traders get one platform for both, and a Rithmic leader can drive Tradovate followers in the same copy group. Firms that want their own brand front and centre, rather than a broker's, are the other natural fit.
