TradersPost Review: How It Automates TradingView Alerts, What It Costs and Our Verdict

Most traders who build a TradingView strategy hit the same wall: the alert fires, and then a human still has to place the order. TradersPost sells the bridge. I went through its plans, broker list, documentation and webhook format on 11 November 2026. This review explains how it works, what it costs per account, where automation goes wrong, and who should pay for it.

What is TradersPost?

TradersPost is an automation layer between a signal and a brokerage account. It is run by TradersPost, Inc., founded in 2021 by Jonathan Wage, and it says its users have executed more than 40 million trades. It is not a broker, it does not hold your money, and it does not sell strategies of its own: you bring the signal, and it handles the order.

The typical user writes or buys a strategy on TradingView, sets an alert with a webhook URL, and lets TradersPost turn each alert into a buy, sell or exit at the broker. The same signal can be sent to several accounts at once, which is why it is popular with traders running more than one funded account.

How does TradersPost work?

There are three building blocks, and understanding them saves most of the setup confusion.

1. Strategy. A container that receives signals. You give it a name, an asset class, allowed tickers and default order rules: order type, size, stop loss and take profit.
2. Subscription. The link between a strategy and a broker account. One strategy can feed several subscriptions, each with its own size or overrides, so one alert can trade a cash account and three prop accounts at different sizes.
3. Signal. A webhook message, usually a few lines of JSON, that says what to do: ticker and action at minimum, optionally price, quantity, sentiment, stop and target.

When a signal arrives, TradersPost checks it against the strategy and subscription settings, then sends the order through the broker's API. Fills, positions and P&L appear in its dashboard. You can also submit signals by hand from the dashboard, which is how the free trial works on live accounts.

How much does TradersPost cost?

Plans differ mainly by how many live and paper accounts you can connect and how many asset classes you can trade. Tickers and trades are unlimited on every paid plan, subject to rate limits.

Extra accounts cost $10 a month per live account and $5 a month per paper account, up to 50. Paying yearly saves 15%. The free tier is a 7-day trial: automated submission works on paper accounts, live accounts accept manual submission only.

Budget it like a fixed trading cost. At $99 a month, a strategy needs to clear roughly $1,200 a year after commissions before the automation pays for itself. Our how much money to start day trading guide shows how quickly fixed costs eat a small account.

Which brokers and prop firms does TradersPost support?

TradersPost listed 17 broker connections when I checked. The ones most traders ask about are below; the markets column describes what each broker offers, so confirm on TradersPost's connection page that your asset class is enabled for that broker.

Futures prop firms are the area where you must read the small print. TradersPost connects to Tradovate, NinjaTrader and ProjectX, the back ends many futures firms use, and lists Topstep. Whether a firm allows automated trading is a separate question: some allow it, some allow it only with approval, and some ban it. Check the firm's rules before you connect, and read our Tradovate review and Topstep review for how those platforms behave. If you trade forex at a prop firm on TradeLocker, note that forex is still listed as coming soon.

How do you connect TradingView alerts to TradersPost?

1. Create the strategy in TradersPost and copy its webhook URL.
2. Connect a broker (start with a paper account) and subscribe it to the strategy.
3. On TradingView, create an alert on your strategy or indicator. In Notifications, tick Webhook URL and paste the address. Webhooks need a paid TradingView plan and two-factor authentication on your TradingView account.
4. Paste the message. For a strategy alert, TradersPost's default JSON uses TradingView placeholders such as {{ticker}}, {{strategy.order.action}} and {{strategy.order.contracts}}, so the order mirrors what the strategy did. For an indicator alert you write the action yourself, for example "action": "buy".
5. Test on paper for at least a week, then compare TradersPost's fills with TradingView's strategy report before switching the subscription to live.

Two TradingView details cause most failed setups. Alerts must use "Once per bar close" unless you want orders on every tick, and indicators that repaint will send signals that later disappear from the chart. Our guide to non-repainting indicators explains how to check a script before you automate it.

TradersPost webhook message builder

Build the JSON for a TradingView alert. Pick the alert type, the action and your risk settings, then copy the result into the alert's message box. Field names follow TradersPost's documentation.

Leave take profit and stop loss at zero if the strategy already exits on its own; sending both can close a position twice. If you are new to bracket orders, our order types guide covers how stops and targets behave once they reach the broker.

Which risk settings matter most in TradersPost?

The settings live on the strategy and can be overridden per subscription. The ones that prevent expensive surprises:

• Position sizing. Fixed quantity, dollar amount or a percentage of the account. Use fixed size until the strategy has a few months of live history; our position sizing guide explains why.
• Allowed tickers. Restrict each strategy to the symbols it was built for, so a typo in an alert cannot trade the wrong market.
• Signal overrides and exits. Decide whether a new signal may flip a position, add to it or only close it. "Reverse" and "add" are powerful and easy to misuse.
• Trading hours. Ignore signals outside the session you tested. Thin pre-market and overnight books widen slippage.

Paper accounts are worth more than their price here: run the identical subscription on paper beside the live one for a month and you will see every place where the automation and the chart disagree.

You do not always need a middle layer. The table shows when each route makes sense.

What are the pros and cons of TradersPost?

Reference data

What are the most common TradersPost mistakes?

1. Automating a repainting script. The backtest looks perfect because signals were redrawn after the fact. Live alerts fire on bars that later change.
2. Alerting on every tick. "Once per bar" instead of "Once per bar close" can send several entries in one candle.
3. Doubling exits. Strategy exits plus bracket stops and targets can close the same position twice or open an unintended reverse position.
4. Ignoring costs in the backtest. Add commission and slippage in TradingView's strategy properties before you trust a result; our backtesting guide shows realistic settings.
5. Breaking prop firm rules. Copying one signal across accounts at the same firm, or automating where it is banned, can void payouts.

Is TradersPost legit and safe?

TradersPost is an established US company with a named team and public documentation, and it has been operating since 2021. It does not take custody of funds: you connect brokers through their own login or API authorisation, and you can revoke that access from the broker side. It also publishes a Trustpilot profile and comparison pages against competitors, which are marketing, so read them as such.

The real risks are operational. An outage at TradingView, TradersPost or the broker can leave a position without its exit. Keep stops at the broker rather than relying on a future alert, set daily loss limits at the broker where possible, and check positions at least once a day. Automation reduces the work of placing orders; it does not remove the need for risk management.

Who is TradersPost for, and what is our verdict?

TradersPost suits a trader who already has a rules-based strategy on TradingView or TrendSpider with a real out-of-sample record, trades US stocks, options or futures, and wants the same signal executed reliably across one or more accounts without writing code.

It does not suit a beginner looking for a profitable bot, a forex trader (for now), or someone whose strategy only trades a few times a month, where the monthly fee outweighs the time saved.

My rating is 4.1 out of 5. The design is sensible, the broker list is broad and the webhook format is well documented. The price adds up for small accounts and the extra moving part demands testing. Start on paper, automate one strategy, and compare fills with the chart before scaling up.
