Overall an amazing broker good executions, slippage, spread etc. The only thing I don't like is the $30 withdrawl fee, for smaller accounts its problamatic.
Great fills low margins reliable never had one complaint about this broker. Fast Ach and fast withdraws nothing will ever beat Tradovate!
I think this is a great platform in general especially when used with Trading view although I do find that it isn't the most intuitive. I am new to futures having been a Foreign exchange and didn't quite understand the Liquidation limits rule, but as I become more familiar with the platform I will send another review
Very simple to use with great customer support when needed. Links well with TradingView.
You can’t set stop loss or take profit after entering a trade unless they were already set beforehand. Ridiculous
great! Although the mobile app is having some issues, havent been able to cancel orders through the mobile app or exit a position if I need to exit at market with the mobile app
I have nothing negative to say about tradovate as they are straight forward. It would be nice if they implemented a better p&l system like how paper trading tracks your progress. Sometimes tradovate will reset the wins or losses you made which you have to manually calculate them yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but it would be nice to see progress on screen. Nonetheless, they are great, and the transaction from 3 days to 1 day debit transactions is a plus.
Everything's good but it would be nice to be able to drag and move stop losses by clicking your entry level mark as you can in other brokers and paper trading via trading view.
Thought I'm using Tradovate through TradingView, the functions are much more limited than the real TradingView platform itself.
2FA makes it difficult to log on key entry price, and it would be nice to be able to log on to the desktop app, mobile app, and tradingview platform at the same time for easier multiple entries.
The constant disconnect throughout the day should be improved. I'm still afraid once it will disconnect me right when I want to place my stop loss.

Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.

An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)

Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.
