I’m new to the API and testing sending an alert from TradingView through Autoview to Tradovate, using a trailing stop. I’ve received an error “Request rate limited. Try again after 15 seconds.” I found a few sources online that recommend avoid using trailing stops with the Tradovate API because of this.
Has anyone successfully implemented a trailing stop via the API? If so, any recommendations on how to avoid hitting this rate request rate limit?
I am not familiar with Autoview unfortunately. I did however use Traderspost instead with a builtin order management feature and also Zapier. (Not advertising nor am i affiliated with either)
After scrolling quickly through AV documentation here is something that might be of help:
Why Autoview can trigger rate limits?
Even with atsl, you can still hit limits if:
atf (trail frequency) is too low (e.g., 0.01 or tick-level updates)
You’re feeding high-frequency alerts from TradingView
You’re combining trailing with multiple rapid-fire commands
If you want, share here all your settings, alert formatting etc. and I’ll do my best to help.
