Your Tradovate password guards your order routing, your funded accounts, and ultimately your money. If you reused it somewhere risky, shared it with a service you no longer trust, or you just rotate credentials on a schedule, you can swap it yourself in under a minute. No support ticket needed. The whole thing lives inside your profile settings, and here's the exact path.

You'll need your current password to change it from inside the platform. If you've already forgotten it and can't log in at all, skip to the email reset method further down. Trading a prop firm evaluation? Read the note near the end first, because those logins follow their own rules.

Change Your Password Step by Step

1

Open Application Settings

Log in to the Tradovate Web App as usual. Look to the top-right corner of the screen and click the Application Settings icon. That's the same menu where your account preferences, risk settings, and profile details all live.

2

Open the Your Profile Tab

The Settings menu opens with a list of sections down the left side. Select the Your Profile tab. This is where your account-level details sit, separate from the trading and display preferences.

3

Click Change Password

Inside Your Profile, scroll down to the User Profile heading. You'll see a Change Password button there. Click it and a small pop-up window opens for the actual change.

4

Enter and Confirm Your New Password

The pop-up asks for three things: your current password, your new password, and a confirmation of the new one. Type them in, then save to apply. Tradovate enforces its own minimum length and complexity, and the form will flag a weak entry before it lets you finish, so pick something long and unique that you don't use anywhere else. Once it saves, that new password is live everywhere you sign in, including the desktop app, mobile, and any TradingView connection.

Forgot Your Password? Reset It by Email

If you can't log in, you can't use the in-app method, because it needs your current password. Reset by email instead. On the login screen, click Need Help?, then choose Reset Password. Enter the username or email tied to your account and Tradovate sends reset instructions to the email it has on file. Keep these in mind:

  • Tradovate will never ask you for your password directly, so ignore anyone who does.
  • If the email doesn't land in a couple of minutes, check your spam and junk folders.
  • Reset links expire. If you requested more than one, use the newest email.

On a Prop Firm or Evaluation Account?

Evaluation and funded logins are managed by the firm, not by Tradovate directly. The self-service reset usually won't work on them, and the password and access rules vary by firm and account size, so check your firm's current rules. If you need to change or reset the password on an Apex, Topstep, or similar evaluation login, contact that provider's support rather than Tradovate.

Quick Troubleshooting

Problem What to Try
New password gets rejectedMake it longer, mix in numbers or symbols, and make sure it's different from the old one.
"Current password is incorrect"You may be entering a prop firm's password on the wrong login. Confirm the account, or reset by email.
Locked out after several attemptsStop retrying and wait out the temporary lock before trying again.
Can't find the option on mobileMake the change in the Web App, then sign back in on mobile with the new password.

One more habit worth building: right after a password change, sign in fresh on any new device so you clear device-approval prompts early. If two-factor is on, you'll get a confirmation step, so a routing hiccup doesn't catch you off guard mid-session.

Automate Your Tradovate Trading

Once your login is locked down, put it to work. Route your TradingView alerts straight to your Tradovate account, no manual clicking on every signal.
