Start 7-day trial

Published by TradeAdapter. Based on official documentation checked on . Features and prices can change.

The short answer

TradeAdapter combines supported broker and crypto exchange APIs with an MT4/MT5 Expert Advisor route. TradersPost offers a broader documented selection of US stock, options and exchange-traded futures connections, plus manual approvals and a built-in paper broker. Start with the exact account and market you intend to trade.

Which service fits?

When TradeAdapter fits

You need MT4/MT5 alongside supported crypto exchange APIs, including crypto futures on eligible integrations. Direct API routing runs without your own terminal; MetaTrader execution needs a running terminal and Expert Advisor.

When TradersPost fits

You use its supported US stock, options or exchange-traded futures brokers, want manual trade approval, or want to test through its built-in paper broker. Check each connection's supported assets, order types and beta status.

Execution route

TradingView webhook to supported broker APIs or the TradeAdapter Expert Advisor in MT4/MT5.

[2][3]

Cloud-based webhook processing for supported broker connections. TradingView, TrendSpider and custom JSON webhook sources are documented.

[7]
MT4 and MT5

Both are documented through an Expert Advisor. Your terminal must remain running with Algo Trading enabled.

[3]

MT4 and MT5 are not listed among the supported connections in the current official directory.

[6]
US stocks, options and futures

The directory lists Alpaca for stocks. Check the exact broker and market in the matrix; MetaTrader instruments are those offered by your MT broker.

[2][3][4]

Connections include TradeStation, Tradier, tastytrade, Tradovate, NinjaTrader and ProjectX. Asset and order support varies; some connections and options workflows carry beta limitations.

[6][10]
Crypto markets

Spot and crypto futures/perpetuals on supported exchanges. Markets and alert types differ by integration.

[2]

The crypto documentation describes spot trading. Do not assume a listed Binance or Bybit connection includes crypto futures.

[11]
Forex and CFDs

The directory includes OANDA forex and Capital.com CFDs. MT4/MT5 also uses instruments available from your MetaTrader broker.

[2][3]

The forex documentation states that forex trading is not currently supported.

[12]
Hosting

Direct API orders need no terminal or server of your own. MetaTrader orders need your terminal, commonly hosted on a separately arranged VPS.

[2][3]

Cloud execution. Your computer and browser do not need to stay open for the documented broker API workflow.

[7]
Approvals and paper trading

Documented setup centres on automated routing. Demo availability depends on the broker or MetaTrader account; check the integration guide before testing.

[3][4]

Subscriptions can use auto-submit or manual approval. A built-in paper broker and connection-specific paper environments are documented.

[8][9][10]
Accounts and trial

Starter includes 1 live account, 4 paper accounts and 1 asset class. The 7-day trial supports manual live submission and automated paper trading; live auto-submit requires a paid plan.

FAQ

Questions before you choose

MT4 and MT5 are not listed in TradersPost's current official connection directory. TradeAdapter documents both through an Expert Advisor running in your own MetaTrader terminal.

TradersPost lists connections such as Tradovate, NinjaTrader and ProjectX. Check the supported account, contract, order type and any prop-firm restrictions. TradeAdapter's crypto futures integrations are a different market and should not be treated as an equivalent connection.

The pricing page describes manual live submission and automated paper trading during the 7-day trial. Automated live submission requires a paid subscription.

Do not assume the message formats are interchangeable. Recreate the broker connection and service-specific alert message, then check symbols, sizing, exits and execution on a suitable demo or paper account.
