Has this happened to anyone? Without clicking a thing or being near my mouse, tradovate enters me into random trades without my permission or action.
Please help as this could blow up my account if I’m not paying attention
Yes, this has happened to me also.
Today I started trading and I placed one contract for a 4 tick win and it placed me immediately into $375 debt.
I’m at the end of my time with Tradovate. Looking else where now.
Yes, that happens to me after a win using ATM (Bracket trading) on the DOM.
I will get my 2-4 points, then shortly thereafter, it will enter a trade that I did not initiate.
Make sure you set a low enough number for yourself in Accounts/Risk Settings/Daily Loss limit.
You can change this during the day if you hit the limit and want to continue trading.
Don’t set the limit too low, or a sharp candle tail could cause you a loss. (Been there).
Yes this happens to me on the app and is so frustrating. Caused me to miss a payment from apex as I had a windfall over 30%. Very pissed. Then on another lost 5k. Stupid
Have you found a solution ? I faced this situation today as well. Thank you
Tradovate automatically entered me into position which i was not initiate. Now i checked my account and saw wiped out my entire account. I am in shocked. How come there was activitives in my account when i was away? Most terrifying part is how come someone can easily got into my account and acted as me? Im freaking out. Whether i should be able to trust Tradovate from this point? Waiting for them to sort this out.
Again today. Bracketed trade closed, then magically entered into another trade without any intervention. Good thing I was there! I think I will just use NinjaTrader, particularly now that I cannot go long on one and short on the other as I was trying out. Ninjatrader’s trades reflect what was traded in Tradovate.
