## Who Tradovate suits

- Traders who want a cloud platform on desktop, web and mobile, with the same login following them between devices.
- Traders who want built-in group trading to copy across accounts, where the firm allows it.
- Traders who plan to trade TradingView charts, since Tradovate’s TradingView connection is the standard route on most of these firms.

## What Tradovate costs

Tradovate’s retail plans are Free ($0 a month, $0.39 per side on micros and $1.29 on standard contracts), Monthly ($99, $0.29 and $0.99) and Lifetime ($1,499 once or four instalments of $499, $0.09 and $0.59), with exchange, clearing and NFA fees on top.

Those retail plans do not set what you pay on a prop account, which the firm’s evaluation terms decide. Tradovate’s support guide says prop and evaluation traders do not buy the TradingView add-on; the firm manages that access.

## How it connects to a prop account

Your firm issues the Tradovate username and password, and you log in with those on Tradovate’s web, desktop or mobile apps. Prop accounts are never linked to a Google or Apple sign-in, so use the credentials your firm provided.

For TradingView, log in to TradingView, open the trading panel, choose Tradovate, and select Demo, then sign in with the firm’s credentials. Your firm has to have TradingView enabled on the account, and Group Trade is not available inside TradingView.

NinjaTrader says it does not provide brokerage itself: NinjaTrader Clearing, LLC, which also trades as Tradovate, provides brokerage and is CFTC-registered as a futures commission merchant (NFA ID 0309379).
