How to use

• Generate an alert template in your PickMyTrade dashboard first, and mirror its exact field names inside pmtPayload.
• Swap the EMA-crossover placeholder for your own entry conditions.
• Create a single TradingView alert with condition "Order fills and alert() function calls" and paste in the PickMyTrade webhook URL.
• Per-firm routing — which broker and account a payload lands on — is configured on the PickMyTrade side, not in Pine. See the PickMyTrade Apex setup guide.

Which firms allow this

Automation policy varies by firm and can change between the evaluation and a funded account. Current policy for the firms PickMyTrade most commonly routes to:

On NinjaTrader 8 or Tradovate? Automate with CrossTrade

If your account runs on NinjaTrader 8 or Tradovate, CrossTrade is the automation platform we recommend. It connects TradingView alerts to NinjaTrader 8 through a desktop add-on, and to Tradovate in the cloud with nothing to install. Its Account Manager can also hold a max daily loss, max daily profit, and trailing drawdown on each account, flattening and locking the account when one is hit. On NinjaTrader, those limits run while NinjaTrader and the add-on are running.

A CrossTrade alert message is a list of key=value lines rather than JSON, and it doesn't need alert() at all. Create one alert on the strategy, set the condition to "Order fills only," and paste this into the alert's message box:

key=your-secret-key;
command=place;
account=sim101;
instrument=ES1!;
action={{strategy.order.action}};
qty={{strategy.order.contracts}};
order_type=market;
tif=day;

• TradingView fills in {{strategy.order.action}} (buy or sell) and {{strategy.order.contracts}} each time the strategy's order fills, so the strategy's own entries and exits drive the orders.
• Swap your-secret-key, sim101, and ES1! for your own CrossTrade key, account, and instrument. The CrossTrade docs cover every field.
• Paste your own CrossTrade webhook URL into the alert's Notifications tab. Webhook alerts need a paid TradingView plan.
• "Order fills only" keeps the PickMyTrade alert() payloads from the snippet above out of this alert, so CrossTrade only receives its own message.
• Check your firm's current automation rules before connecting a prop firm account.
