Tradovate connection

Current state of the Tradovate API integration and what to expect.

The Tradovate connection is the most-requested broker integration and is on the roadmap. Today's options for getting Tradovate trades into Tradelyst:

What works today

  • CSV export → upload. Order History export from the Tradovate platform → drop into /import. The Tradovate parser is built-in. Works for backfill and weekly rollups.
  • TradingView webhook from a Tradovate-backed alert. If your TradingView strategy fires alerts on Tradovate fills, route the alert webhook to Tradelyst — see the TradingView webhook doc.

What's coming

  • OAuth + REST poller. One-click connect, polling every few minutes, new fills land automatically. The partnership conversation is ongoing — registered client_id is the gate.

What we won't build

  • An order-routing path. Tradelyst is a journal; it doesn't place trades. The Tradovate connection (when it lands) is read-only: fills in, no orders out.
The same OAuth + REST pattern is the path for Rithmic / IBKR / NinjaTrader. Each is per-broker work, ordered by user demand once partnerships are in place.
