The workflow explained
What is a Tradovate to MatchTrader trade copier?
Tradovate supplies the account trade. Copygram applies your receiver rules. MatchTrader receives the order.
A Tradovate to MatchTrader trade copier uses trades opened on a Tradovate sender account as instructions for a connected MatchTrader receiver. Copygram links the accounts in a room and applies the receiver’s symbol mapping, sizing and order settings.
Tradovate is the sender and MatchTrader is the receiver. Both remain separate trading accounts. Copygram applies your symbol mapping and receiver settings to each MatchTrader order, while balances and positions stay in their respective accounts.
How it works · step by step
How to copy Tradovate trades to MatchTrader in 4 steps
Connect your accounts, create a room, configure your receiver and start copying. Use the same workflow with demo and live accounts.
01
Connect Tradovate and MatchTrader
Connect Tradovate through OAuth and select your sender account. Add MatchTrader, choose your broker, enter your trading email and password, then select the receiving account. Use the account details supplied by your broker or prop firm.
02
Create a room with Tradovate as the sender
Choose your connected Tradovate account as the source and add the MatchTrader account as a receiver. A room connects one sender to one or more receivers, each with independent settings. Use separate rooms for different senders.
03
Map symbols and set receiver sizing
Map the exact Tradovate contract to your MatchTrader instrument. Set receiver sizing, symbol-specific lot exceptions, filters, stops and targets. Choose close and modification controls, then set your trading schedule and timezone.
04
Activate your room and start copying
Start your room to copy Tradovate trades to MatchTrader automatically. Copygram applies your receiver settings to incoming trades. Follow entries, stops, targets and trade updates in your Copygram logs and MatchTrader account. Demo and live accounts are supported.
Symbol mapping
Map Tradovate futures to your MatchTrader instruments
Connect the exact source contract to your broker’s destination symbol. Micro Nasdaq futures and a Nasdaq-100 CFD illustrate the relationship.
MNQ → your Nasdaq-100 CFD
Map the exact Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures contract and expiry from Tradovate to the Nasdaq-100 instrument on your MatchTrader receiver.
Use the broker’s exact symbol
Your broker may name its Nasdaq-100 instrument NAS100, US100 or another identifier. Select the name shown on your account, including any prefix or suffix.
Set receiver lots independently
Choose the MatchTrader volume through receiver sizing and symbol-specific lot exceptions. Mapping selects the destination instrument; sizing determines its volume.
Update the source at rollover
When you move to a new Tradovate contract month, update the exact source contract in your mapping while keeping the intended MatchTrader destination.
This example illustrates the mapping relationship. Use the exact futures contract and the Nasdaq-100 instrument identifier shown by your connected accounts.
A worked example
Set MatchTrader lot size independently from futures contracts
Source contracts and destination lots use different sizing conventions. Define the receiving volume with your account’s instrument specifications.
Micro Nasdaq futures to a Nasdaq-100 CFD
Tradovate source: dated MNQ contract
MatchTrader: your broker’s CFD symbol
Independent receiver lot size
Illustrative mapping example
Source contract value
One CME Micro E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures contract represents $2 per index point. Its minimum price tick is 0.25 index points.
Destination value per lot
Use the value per point and contract size defined for your broker’s MatchTrader instrument when setting the receiving volume.
Sizing method and exceptions
Choose your receiver sizing method and use a symbol-specific lot exception to set the intended Nasdaq-100 CFD volume.
Minimum volume and increments
Apply the receiving instrument’s minimum lot size, volume step and price increment when configuring the receiver.
Costs and account currency
Include the destination’s spread, commissions, financing and account currency when comparing monetary exposure.
Independent account exposure
Set each MatchTrader receiver’s volume using its balance, instrument specifications and intended position size.
Use the destination price for stops and targets
Nasdaq futures and your broker’s Nasdaq-100 CFD have separate quotes. Configure protective orders using the MatchTrader instrument’s price basis and receiver settings.
Separate symbol mapping from sizing
Mapping selects the destination instrument. Your receiver sizing rule determines the lot size. Configure both so the automation follows your intended position volume.
The futures specification describes the source contract. Your broker’s instrument specification and receiver settings define the destination volume.
MatchTrader receiver controls
Control how each MatchTrader receiver copies trades
Configure each receiver for its account and instrument. Use independent sizing, symbol rules and trade-management settings for accounts following the same Tradovate sender.
Money management and symbol exceptions
Choose your receiver sizing method and use symbol-specific lot exceptions for individual instruments. Each MatchTrader receiver has independent volume settings based on its broker’s contract specifications.

Symbol filters and naming rules

FAQ
Tradovate to MatchTrader — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about account connections, futures mapping, destination sizing and receiver controls.
Can I copy trades from Tradovate to MatchTrader?
Yes. Copygram connects a Tradovate sender to a MatchTrader receiver through a room. Trades on the source account are copied using your symbol mapping, receiver sizing and trade-management settings. Demo and live accounts are supported.
How do I connect Tradovate to MatchTrader with Copygram?
Connect Tradovate through OAuth and select your sender account. Add MatchTrader, choose your broker, enter your trading email and password, then select the receiving account. Create a room, add the receiver, configure mapping and sizing, and activate copying.
Do I need API keys for Tradovate or MatchTrader?
No separate API key is needed for either connection in this workflow. Tradovate uses OAuth. For MatchTrader, select your broker, enter your trading email and password, and choose the receiving account in Copygram.
Which MatchTrader account should I select?
Select the broker and trading account you want to receive the copied trades. Use the credentials supplied by your broker or prop firm. When one login contains several trading accounts, select the intended receiver and configure its settings independently.
Can I map MNQ futures to a Nasdaq-100 instrument on MatchTrader?
Yes. Map the exact Tradovate MNQ contract, including its expiry, to your broker’s Nasdaq-100 instrument. The destination may use a name such as NAS100 or US100; use the exact identifier shown on your account. Set receiver lots separately and update the source mapping when you change contract months.
Does one Tradovate futures contract equal one MatchTrader lot?
Futures contracts and MatchTrader lots use different sizing conventions. One MNQ contract represents $2 per index point, while your broker defines the value and minimum volume of its destination instrument. Use Copygram receiver sizing and symbol-specific lot exceptions to set the receiving volume.
How do I manage stops, targets, closes and modifications?
Configure stop-loss and take-profit behavior using the MatchTrader instrument’s price basis. Enable Copy Close Orders and Copy Modif Orders for the close and update actions you want the receiver to follow. Manage these settings independently for each receiving account.
Can one Tradovate account copy to several MatchTrader accounts?
Yes. A Copygram room connects one sender to one or more receivers, including multiple MatchTrader accounts. Select each account and configure its symbol mapping, sizing and trade-management settings. Choose a plan that covers the connected accounts you need.
Do I need a VPS, MetaTrader or an open browser?
No. Copygram runs the Tradovate to MatchTrader copying workflow in the cloud. You do not need an intermediate MT4 or MT5 account, an EA, a VPS or an open browser window. Keep your account connections and room active to run the automation.
Can I use TradingView with this Tradovate-to-MatchTrader workflow?
Yes. When a trade placed through TradingView opens on your connected Tradovate account, Copygram can use that account trade as the source and copy it to MatchTrader. This page covers account-to-account copying from Tradovate; standalone TradingView alerts use a webhook workflow.
