Hi Ed,
Thanks for reaching out!
RiskMaster was specifically developed for NinjaTrader and not directly for Tradovate. I did perform some preliminary testing with Tradovate accounts connected via NinjaTrader, and the addon partially worked, though I haven't conducted extensive tests to fully confirm all functionalities.
To achieve partial compatibility, you'd need to connect your Tradovate account through NinjaTrader and make sure that Ninjatrader stays open and connected to Tradovate while trading. When you trade through Tradovate's browser interface, the data routes through NinjaTrader, allowing RiskMaster to intercept and manage trades. However, there is a limitation: because the orders don't originate directly within NinjaTrader's UI, RiskMaster can only perform checks after positions are already entered. This means if you exceed set limits (like trading more contracts than allowed), RiskMaster would immediately close your position after entry, causing you to incur entry and exit fees, although it would still enforce your set rules.
Regarding customizing the addon for Tradovate directly: I previously noted this idea as a feature request. However, my current schedule is quite full, and since this involves significant development outside NinjaTrader (or potentially intercepting orders directly within Tradovate's UI), I can't promise implementation anytime soon.
As for your second question, could you clarify what you mean by "scripts working with a TopStep NinjaTrader account"?
If you're referring to using NinjaTrader directly, then RiskMaster fully supports various account types, including TopStep, Apex, Simulation, and NinjaTrader accounts. You just need to create a RiskMaster profile and assign it to your specific account.
Feel free to ask if you have any other questions!
Best, Aviram
