Platform Details

MetaTrader 4 (MT4)

One of the most popular trading platforms worldwide. Supports market orders, pending orders (BuyLimit, SellLimit, BuyStop, SellStop), partial closes, and SL/TP modification. Connect using your server name, account number, and trading password.

MetaTrader 5 (MT5)

The successor to MT4 with all the same capabilities, plus support for StopLimit orders (BuyStopLimit, SellStopLimit). Shares the same simple connection process as MT4.

TradeLocker

A modern trading platform popular with prop trading firms. Uses a two-step connection: enter your broker server, email, and password, then select which accounts to import from the list.

cTrader

A professional trading platform known for its clean interface and fast execution. Connects via an authorization flow — you’ll be redirected to cTrader to log in and grant access, then select your account.

DXTrade

A proprietary trading platform used by several prop firms. Connect using your broker domain (from your DXTrade URL), broker name, account number, and password.

Tradovate

A professional futures trading platform offering ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, CL, GC, and 1400+ other futures contracts. Connect using your username, password, server (demo or live), and select your account. Symbols use base format (“ES” not “ESM6”) — the platform resolves to the front-month contract automatically.

NinjaTrader

A popular futures trading platform connected through the same ntvateREST API as Tradovate. Same symbol format, same connection process, same capabilities. Connect using your NinjaTrader credentials.
