TradersPost is a cloud-based, no-code, event-driven trading automation platform that receives alerts from external charting tools, processes them according to your predefined rules, and submits orders to your connected broker or exchange accounts automatically.
Founded by Jonathan H. Wage on January 1st, 2021, TradersPost serves over 40,000 traders with more than $200 million in connected accounts and has processed over 20 million executed trades across stocks, futures, options, and crypto.
TradersPost Features
Cloud-Based Execution
TradersPost runs entirely in the cloud. Trades execute independently of your computer, browser, or internet connection, meaning strategies operate continuously without any local infrastructure required.
No Code Required
You do not need programming knowledge to automate strategies. Published TradingView strategies connect directly to your webhook URL, and TrendSpider’s drag-and-drop builder deploys automated rules without writing a single line of code.
Multi-Account Execution
A single signal routes to multiple broker and prop firm accounts simultaneously. Each connected account applies its own independent position size, order type, and risk settings from one unified dashboard.
Auto Submit
When auto submit is enabled on a subscription, incoming signals execute immediately without manual intervention. When disabled, each trade is held in a pending state for one-click approval or rejection before being sent to the broker.
Paper Trading
TradersPost includes a built-in paper broker for strategy testing in a simulated environment. A free 7-day trial is available from day one with a paper account ready to use immediately.
Backtesting Support
Strategies can be tested against historical data using TradingView’s Strategy Tester or TrendSpider’s chart-based backtesting tool before committing real capital.
Order Queueing
Signals received outside of market hours are queued and submitted at the next market open rather than rejected outright.
Notifications
Email notifications are available for new signals, failed signals, new trades, and failed trades. A failure-only option is available for traders who want to reduce inbox volume.
Mobile Friendly
TradersPost is fully functional on mobile devices, allowing traders to monitor positions, review signals, and manage subscriptions from any device.
IRA and Specialty Accounts
TradeStation and other supported brokers allow automated trading in IRA, business, and other specialty account types through TradersPost.
Trade Journaling Compatibility
Order data can be exported from TradersPost and imported into third-party journaling platforms for performance analysis and strategy review. Compatible platforms include TradeZella, TraderVue, TraderSync, TradesViz, Trademetria, Chartlog, TradeUnafraid, and FX Replay.
How TradersPost Works: The Three-Step Process
Step 1: Create
Define your strategy by selecting your asset class, configuring entry and exit rules, and setting stop loss, take profit, and position sizing parameters. Each strategy receives a unique webhook URL that external signal sources use to deliver trade instructions.
Step 2: Connect
Link your broker, exchange, or prop firm account via a subscription. Each subscription inherits strategy defaults but can be configured independently with its own position size, order type, risk controls, and trading window settings. Multiple subscriptions attach to a single strategy, allowing one signal to execute across many accounts simultaneously.
Step 3: Send
When your signal source fires an alert, a JSON message is sent via webhook to your strategy URL. TradersPost parses the message, applies your subscription settings, and routes the corresponding order to every connected broker in real time. Fills, open positions, and profit and loss are tracked from the strategy dashboard.

TradersPost Platform Architecture
TradersPost separates brokers, strategies, subscriptions, and webhooks at an architecture level.
This gives traders three key operational advantages.
- Change the webhook powering a strategy at any time with zero disruption to existing subscribers.
- Connect a single strategy to multiple brokers, each with entirely different settings per account.
- Run the same strategy on a paper account and a live account simultaneously in parallel.
TradersPost Signal Inheritance
Each subscription controls how much of the incoming signal data is used versus overridden by fixed settings.
By default, the Allow Signal Override toggle is enabled on each subscription. This means the subscription inherits quantity, order type, stop loss, and take profit values directly from the incoming JSON message.
Disabling the toggle replaces those incoming values with fixed settings defined at the subscription level. One universal signal can therefore execute differently across multiple accounts, with each account applying its own independent rules to the same incoming instruction.
TradersPost Signal Monitoring and Troubleshooting
The strategy dashboard displays a complete log of every incoming signal in real time. Each entry shows the ticker, action, and timestamp alongside a per-subscription summary of how many accounts processed the signal successfully and how many encountered issues.
Clicking into any signal reveals the full trade detail across every connected broker account, including order fills, broker responses, and any rejection reasons. This gives you a complete audit trail of how every signal was handled across every account.
TradersPost Signal Sources
TradingView
TradingView is the most widely used signal source for TradersPost, with a community of 30 million traders. Pine Script strategies and indicators connect via TradingView alerts using a JSON webhook message. Webhook delivery can lag by 2 to 60 seconds or more, which TradingView considers within normal operating range.
TrendSpider TrendSpider’s no-code drag-and-drop builder allows traders to define buy and sell conditions visually. Completed strategies send webhook alerts to TradersPost in the standard JSON format, and TrendSpider’s dedicated trading bots feature provides a direct integration pathway for systematic execution.
Custom Code Any application capable of sending an HTTP POST request with a JSON body can deliver signals to TradersPost. PHP and Python are the most commonly used languages for building custom signal logic using any external data source or market feed.
Discord Bots Trade instructions sent as messages in a Discord channel can be parsed by a custom bot and forwarded to a TradersPost webhook URL as a JSON signal, triggering automated execution across all connected broker accounts.
TradersPost Webhook JSON Message
Every JSON message sent to TradersPost requires two fields. All other fields are optional.
ticker: Required. The symbol of the financial instrument to trade.
action: Required. Accepted values are buy, sell, exit, cancel, and add.

orderType: Optional. Supported values are market, limit, stop, stop limit, and trailing stop.

TradersPost Strategy Developers
Traders who have a strategy idea but cannot code it themselves can hire Pine Script developers on Fiverr or Upwork. When hiring a developer, inform them that the strategy is intended for automation with TradersPost, as not all Pine Script strategies are compatible with automated execution and the code must be built accordingly.
