How fast is it really?▾
Measured in production at up to 48x faster than industry-standard webhook middleware. Your trailing stops execute on-exchange in microseconds — no round-trip delay for exits.
Will this work with my strategy?▾
If your strategy runs on TradingView and uses webhook alerts, it works with DirectPipe. We don't see your strategy logic — we just execute the signals it sends. Any strategy, any timeframe, any instrument.
What brokers do you support?▾
We're launching with Tradovate for futures. Rithmic, Interactive Brokers, and crypto exchanges are on the roadmap. If your broker has an API, we can likely support it.
What do I put in the TradingView alert message?▾
Use {{strategy.order.alert_message}} if your strategy has built-in alert messages.
Otherwise use this format:
{"action": "buy", "ticker": "MGCM6"}
{"action": "sell", "ticker": "MGCM6"}
{"action": "exit"}
Important: Use your Tradovate contract symbol, not the TradingView symbol. For example: MGCM6 not MGC1!, ESM6 not ES1!, NQM6 not NQ1!. Check your Tradovate platform for the exact symbol.
Is my data secure?▾
Bank-grade encryption. Your credentials are encrypted at rest and never stored in plain text. Your API keys stay under your control — we never have withdrawal access to your account.
How is this different from a trade copier?▾
Trade copiers execute sequentially — Account 1 fills, then Account 2, then Account 3. By Account 10, price has moved and your fills are $5-25 worse. DirectPipe executes all accounts in the same millisecond, same price. One alert, one webhook URL, all your accounts. No cascade slippage, no master/slave setup. This isn't copy trading — it's parallel execution.
What instruments can I trade?▾
Any futures contract available on Tradovate — ES, NQ, MNQ, MGC, GC, CL, RTY, YM, ZB, and hundreds more. If Tradovate supports it, DirectPipe executes it.
Can I use this with prop firm accounts?▾
If your prop firm uses Tradovate, yes. Funded traders can use DirectPipe to execute across multiple evaluation and funded accounts simultaneously. Check with your prop firm that API trading is permitted.
What happens if your server goes down?▾
Your positions are protected by exchange-side stops on your broker's servers. If DirectPipe goes offline, your exits still fire.
Can I cancel anytime?▾
Yes. Monthly subscription, cancel anytime, no contracts, no cancellation fees. We keep you by being fast, not by locking you in.
Are there any per-trade fees?▾
No. Flat monthly subscription. Trade 10 times or 10,000 times — same price. No hidden fees, no per-fill charges, no volume surcharges.
How do I add more accounts?▾
Email ronnie@directpipeai.com with your tier and how many accounts you need. Additional accounts are $10/mo each on any tier. We'll have self-service account management in the dashboard soon.
What's the minimum account size?▾
Whatever your broker requires for margin. DirectPipe has no minimum — we charge a flat monthly fee regardless of account size or trade frequency.
What about overnight positions?▾
DirectPipe runs 24/5 during futures market hours. Your on-exchange trailing stops and stop losses are active even between sessions. Positions are protected around the clock.
What signal sources work?▾
Anything that can send an HTTP request. TradingView, TrendSpider, MetaTrader, custom Python scripts, Discord bots — if it can fire a webhook, DirectPipe executes it.
