Overview
Their own comparison, published 23 January 2026 and updated 17 September 2026, carries a section headed "Broker Support: Where PickMyTrade Is Stronger" and tells readers whose accounts are not all on Tradovate that we are the stronger choice. We will not argue with it, or pretend it settles the decision. Connect supports Tradovate; PickMyTrade supports eight brokers. This page is the rest of the decision. Their pages were checked 22 September 2026.
Price
Connect is one plan: $39.90 a month or $199 a year, with unlimited Tradovate accounts and cloud hosting. PickMyTrade is one plan: $50 a month or $500 a year, every feature and every broker included. For a trader whose accounts all sit on Tradovate and who needs only alert automation, Connect costs less every month and every year. Those are our two figures; where other PickMyTrade prices are quoted, take them from our pricing page.
| What you need | RoboQuant Connect | PickMyTrade |
|---|---|---|
| TradingView alerts to Tradovate accounts | $39.90/mo or $199/yr | $50/mo or $500/yr |
| Alerts to Rithmic or ProjectX accounts, including TopstepX | Not offered — Tradovate only | $50/mo |
| Stocks, options, forex or CFDs from the same alerts | Not offered | $50/mo |
| A leader account whose fills are copied to followers | Not stated on the Connect pages | Included, on Tradovate |
| Weekly profit and loss limits and trading-time windows | Not stated on the Connect pages | Included |
One PickMyTrade subscription covers unlimited accounts under one broker login. Five Apex accounts held under a single Tradovate login all automate on one $50 subscription, and a second, separate Tradovate login needs its own subscription. Connect is flat across Tradovate accounts too, so on a single-login fleet the account count does not separate the two products. The $10.10 does.

Why PickMyTrade
Funded accounts move. If your firm issues Rithmic or ProjectX accounts next quarter, the same $50 subscription covers them. With a Tradovate-only tool that change means buying a second product. See the broker guides.
Profit and loss limits per account daily and weekly, the hours automation is allowed to trade, and a pause switch. Read your firm's rule and see which product can express it. They are settings, not guarantees. Risk settings.
Routing one alert to several accounts and copying a leader account's fills are different jobs. PickMyTrade does both: alerts to many accounts with a size each, and a Tradovate admin account whose trades copy to followers with a multiplier. Copier guide.
Points, percentage, price, ticks or total P/L, then trailing stops on Tradovate and ProjectX, breakeven with an offset, SL and TP changes on an open position, partial closes and reversals, all from the alert. Alert setup.
Full access for 7 days with no credit card, on every account you connect, and leaving takes no action at all. Tradovate connects by OAuth, so there is no separate Tradovate API subscription to buy first. Tradovate FAQ.
Honest take
$39.90 a month or $199 a year is genuinely less than $50 or $500, and if your setup never leaves Tradovate the gap is real money.
Connect publishes all three, with 50 trades as the default cap. PickMyTrade has none of them; our controls are the daily and weekly limits and the time windows.
They publish a video walkthrough of the setup and the dashboard. We ask you to start a trial instead, which is a bigger step for some buyers.
Connect has both. PickMyTrade has execution logs and no built-in journal.
Roboquant 2.0 does that on separate plans from $49 a month. PickMyTrade has no strategy builder and no backtesting.
Switching
Start the 7-day trial and connect your broker. Sign in to Tradovate with OAuth, then add Rithmic or ProjectX on the same subscription.
Rebuild the alert message. Generate the PickMyTrade payload in the dashboard and paste it into your TradingView alert with our webhook URL. Connect's alert JSON does not carry across, so plan to rewrite each alert once.
Set accounts, sizing, exits and limits. Choose which accounts receive the alert and at what size, then the stop loss and take profit method, any trailing or breakeven rule, and your daily and weekly limits.
Test on demo, then move one account at a time. Run it on a Tradovate demo account and compare the order each tool places. Turn Connect off for that account before you go live.
FAQ
Yes. Connect is $39.90 a month or $199 a year. PickMyTrade is $50 a month or $500 a year. For a trader whose accounts all sit on Tradovate and who needs only alert automation, Connect is the cheaper product. PickMyTrade costs more because the same plan covers eight brokers, four asset classes, the copier and the risk limits.
Connect supports Tradovate. PickMyTrade supports Tradovate, Rithmic, ProjectX including TopstepX, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, Tradier, TradeLocker and Match-Trader. RoboQuant says the same thing on its own comparison, in a section it titles Broker Support: Where PickMyTrade Is Stronger, updated 17 September 2026.
Yes. Support is by platform: any prop firm that issues Tradovate, Rithmic or ProjectX accounts, including TopstepX, works with PickMyTrade on the same $50 subscription. Firms set their own rules on automation and copy trading, so check yours before you go live. Connect covers firms that issue Tradovate accounts.
Daily and weekly profit and loss limits on each connected account, trading-time windows, and a pause switch for automation, plus a news filter on Tradovate. Connect publishes a per-account daily loss limit on realized profit and loss that resets at 00:00 UTC, a max daily trades cap, a symbol whitelist and a kill switch. The two sets overlap less than they look.
Yes, in the $50 plan. A Tradovate admin account's trades copy to follower accounts, each with its own quantity multiplier. That is different from fanning one alert out to several accounts, which PickMyTrade also does. Connect fans alerts out with fixed or multiplier sizing; a leader-to-follower copier is not stated on its pages.
No. The trial runs 7 days, takes no credit card and gives full access on every account you connect. RoboQuant says the same about our trial on its own comparison page. Connect offers a 7-day trial on every new subscription through its Whop checkout, and whether a card is taken up front is not stated on its pages.
One subscription covers unlimited accounts under one broker login. Five Apex accounts under a single Tradovate login all automate on one $50 subscription. If your accounts sit under separate broker logins, each login needs its own subscription, so count logins rather than accounts before you compare totals.
