Please add an API count in the UI somewhere that is visible to the user as they trade. That way traders can know where they stand and manage their trading “action” count in relation to the max API request limit imposed by Tradovate.
Since Tradovate limits the API count per user per hour, we really need to know where we stand as we trade. Especially with prop firms allowing for more and more accounts, traders need the ability to manage risk when copy and group trading accounts. The Tradovate platform bricking itself because of “Too Many Requests” and leaving traders helplessly stuck with open positions across multiple accounts is insane. It’s literally an invisible ticking time bomb that traders have no way of monitoring and can lead to complete account blow ups beyond the user’s control.
Not to mention it’s a pain and strain, logistically and anxiety wise, for all parties, both users and the Tradovate support staff, to have to rush around like emergency first responders to avoid having accounts needlessly burn to the ground.
If Trading is about managing risk, then this seems like an essential feature, not a bonus nicety. Traders can’t risk manage what they can’t even see. So just pop an API counter in the UI somewhere and we can eliminate unnecessary stress for everyone involved.
Thank you!
