How to Set Up Tradovate for Tradeify

Connect Tradovate to your Tradeify account and configure the platform for Tradeify's trailing eod (floor moves up at end of day) rules. This guide covers connection, verification, and recommended risk settings.

Connection Steps

Create your Tradeify account

Sign up at https://tradeify.com and purchase your evaluation. You will receive login credentials and a data feed connection string via email.

Download and install Tradovate

Download Tradovate from the official website. Run the installer and follow the setup wizard.

Add the data feed connection

Open Tradovate and navigate to Connections or Data Feed settings. Add a new connection using the server address, username, and password from Tradeify.

Connect to the data feed and verify market data is streaming. Check that your account balance matches your Tradeify dashboard.

Configure risk settings

Set position size defaults, max order quantity, and any ATM strategies to prevent accidental oversizing that could breach Tradeify rules.

Recommended Settings for Tradeify

--Set a daily loss alert at 2.0% (80% of Tradeify's 2.5% limit) so you stop trading before the hard cap.
--Enable end-of-day position flattening if possible. Trailing drawdown resets at session close, so flat positions reduce overnight risk.
--Tradeify does NOT allow overnight holding. Set an auto-flatten or reminder 5 minutes before market close.
--Weekend holding is not allowed. Close all positions before the Friday session ends.
--Consistency rule: No single day > 50% of total profit. Track daily P&L in a spreadsheet to stay compliant.
--Save your workspace template after configuring so you can restore it quickly if settings are lost.
