- You know whether you are testing a demo, evaluation, funded, or live account.

How to connect Tradovate to Proteryx.
First, open Proteryx and go to the broker connection area. Then, start the Tradovate connection flow shown in your account. Follow the on-screen steps and give Proteryx the access needed for your trading workflow.

- Go to broker connections.Choose the area where broker workflows, account access, or trading connections are managed.
- Select Tradovate.Start the Tradovate connection flow and follow the screen prompts.
- Authorize the connection.Use your broker login or approval step when prompted. Then, return to Proteryx after authorization.
- Confirm connection status.Check that the connection appears active before you send any order or alert.
Verify your Tradovate accounts in Proteryx.
After the connection is active, verify which Tradovate accounts appear inside Proteryx. Then, choose one account for the first test. If you have several prop firm accounts, do not route to all of them until one simple route works correctly.
Check the account name
Make sure the visible account matches the account you want to test. Similar names can cause mistakes.
Check the account type
Confirm whether the account is demo, evaluation, funded, or live before sending any order.
Check order permission
Verify that the account can receive orders. If the account is locked or disabled, orders may fail.
Check copy trading routes
If you plan to copy trades, start with one follower account after the lead account route works.
Check Tradovate symbols before live trading.
Next, check the futures symbol and contract you plan to trade. A symbol issue can stop an order, route to the wrong contract, or create confusion during rollover periods. Therefore, verify the contract before the first test.
- Use the correct futures symbol for the market you want to trade, such as MNQ, NQ, MES, or ES.
- Check the active contract month if your workflow requires a specific contract instead of a general symbol.
- Confirm that your market data and account permissions allow the symbol you want to trade.
- Use micro contracts for smaller tests when possible, especially before routing across multiple accounts.
- Review rollover timing if the current futures contract is close to expiration.

Finally, run a small first test after your Tradovate connection appears active and your account route is clear. The goal is to confirm that Proteryx, Tradovate, the account, the symbol, and the order side match your intended setup.
- Choose one Tradovate account.Do not start with all accounts. Use one account for the first test.
- Choose a small contract size.Use the smallest practical size for your first test, especially with futures.
- Check bracket settings.If you use take profit, stop loss, or trailing stop, confirm those settings before sending the order.
- Send one simple order or test alert.Keep the first workflow easy to inspect. Then, confirm the result in Proteryx and Tradovate.
- Review the result.Confirm account, order side, quantity, contract, position, and any bracket orders.
