AUTO-SYNCFUTURES
Auto-Sync Tradovate Trades to Vigil

Tradovate is the cloud-native futures platform. No desktop download, no Java runtime, no ancient Windows UI. You open a browser tab and you are trading ES, NQ, CL, and everything else CME lists. Apex Trader Funding, My Funded Futures, Take Profit Trader, and other futures prop firms support Tradovate as a primary execution platform.

The platform itself is clean. The execution is fast. The commission-free tiers are attractive. But Tradovate, like every execution platform, stops at telling you what happened. It shows your fills, your P&L, your account balance. It does not tell you that you broke your daily loss limit at 10:32 AM Central, that your third NQ contract exceeded your position size rule, or that you added to a losing position when your plan says never to do that.

Vigil connects to your Tradovate account and syncs trades automatically. Every execution gets pulled into Vigil and run through the AI audit engine against your prop firm rules and your personal trading plan. You see exactly which rules you followed, which ones you broke, and how much those violations cost you. If you are running an Apex evaluation and your trailing drawdown is within $200 of the limit, Vigil tells you before Apex does.
