Connect Tradovate

Open Connections → Add connection → Tradovate. You have two options.

• Automatic sign-in (recommended). You enter your Tradovate username and password, and Copilink signs in through a hidden built-in browser window. You can add several logins and connect them all at once, which suits traders with many prop-firm logins. Passwords are saved only in Windows Credential Manager or macOS Keychain, never in Copilink settings or backups.
• Sign in with browser. Copilink opens Tradovate's normal sign-in page in your default browser and you approve access there. Your password stays with Tradovate; Copilink keeps only the resulting session.

1. 1

   Add your logins

   Choose Automatic sign-in. For each login, enter an optional connection name (for example, Apex 50K), the username and password, and Demo or Live. Use + Add another Tradovate login for more.

2. 2

   Press Connect all

   Copilink signs in to every login at the same time and shows progress for each.

3. 3

   Finish any verification

   If Tradovate asks for a code, a CAPTCHA, or consent, that login shows Open verification. Press it and finish the step in the page that opens inside the dialog. The other logins carry on meanwhile.

   If not: If a login fails, press Edit failed logins, correct it, and connect again.

4. 4

   Check the accounts

   Each finished login appears on Connections with its accounts. You can close the dialog at any time; logins that already finished stay connected.

   Success: The row says Connected and lists the Demo or Live accounts you expected.

1. 1

   Choose the environment

   Choose Sign in with browser, pick Demo or Live, and press Continue in browser.

2. 2

   Approve access

   Sign in on the Tradovate page that opens and approve access for Copilink.

3. 3

   Return to Copilink

   Copilink picks up the result and lists the accounts. The sign-in page stays valid for about five minutes.

   If not: If the page expires, you close it, or the browser says it worked but Copilink never updates, start again from Add connection. Check that security software isn't blocking the browser from returning to Copilink.

Turn on Auto-reconnect on a connection's row to reconnect it each time you open Copilink. An automatic sign-in logs in again with the saved password, and if Tradovate asks for verification, Copilink opens the sign-in dialog so you can finish it. A browser connection may need you to approve it again.

Sign-in required or Authentication failed means Tradovate no longer accepts the saved session. Reconnect the same connection; Copilink keeps its Demo or Live choice.

Saved sessions and passwords stay on this computer and are not included in backups, so a new or restored computer needs to sign in again.

Most Tradovate logins, including most prop-firm logins, don't give Copilink live prices. Copying still works, but open P&L updates slowly and your P&L limits react late. Connecting one Rithmic account fixes this for all your accounts. See Market data and Live P&L.

Tradovate limits how many requests an app can send. Placing, changing, and cancelling orders, flattening, and fetching account data all count, and every follower adds its own requests to each leader trade. Copilink budgets 60 requests per minute and 5,000 per hour and shows your usage under Tradovate request budget on the Follower profiles page. These are Copilink's budgets, not a promise of what Tradovate will accept.

When a limit is reached, requests wait for a cooldown and the connection can show Rate limited. Copies and account updates can be delayed until it clears. Don't keep reconnecting or resending orders: check your broker, wait for the cooldown, then read Activity for anything that didn't complete.
