Step 3: You’ll be redirected to your browser to authenticate the connection. Enter your Tradovate username and password when prompted, then log in.

Why can’t I see the open P&L of my Tradovate accounts on the ETP Trade Copier?

Tradovate does not allow access to open P&L data unless the platform is directly connected to market data. This is different from how other trading platforms operate. As a result, the ETP Copier cannot display open P&L for Tradovate accounts. However, you can still use these accounts for copy trading and view the open P&L directly on the Tradovate terminal.
