Price
Autoview's platform is free and you pay per live venue: $39.99 a month or $399.99 a year for each exchange or broker. In its own words it bills per broker, not per account. PickMyTrade is $50 a month or $500 a year and covers unlimited accounts under one broker login, with a second broker login needing its own subscription. Neither of us charges per account, so the arithmetic turns on how many separate brokers you connect and what each broker charges you directly.
Here is the worked example, with Autoview's figures read from its own pages and checked 22 September 2026. Take a trader running futures on Tradovate and stocks and options on a second broker such as TradeStation. Autoview: two venues at $39.99 is $79.98 a month, plus the paid Tradovate API Access add-on its own guides say is required, which it reports at around $25 to $30, and Tradovate only issues that key against a live account holding more than $1,000, simulation included. Call it $105 to $110. PickMyTrade: two brokers means two broker logins and two subscriptions, so $100 a month, with no API purchase and no funding threshold.
That puts us roughly $5 to $10 a month ahead, and only once the Tradovate add-on is counted. On sticker price alone Autoview is $20 cheaper, and we would rather you read that here than find it on their page. The result changes by setup, so here is the whole grid rather than the one row that flatters us.
| Your setup | Autoview | PickMyTrade |
|---|---|---|
| One venue, and it is not Tradovate | $39.99, or $399.99 a year | $50, or $500 a year. Autoview is $10.01 a month cheaper here |
| One Tradovate account | $39.99 plus Tradovate's paid API Access add-on, which Autoview reports at around $25 to $30, so roughly $65 to $70. A live account above $1,000 is needed before the key is issued | $50, connected by OAuth. No API purchase, no funding threshold to connect |
| Futures on Tradovate plus stocks and options on a second broker | $79.98 on sticker, about $105 to $110 once the Tradovate add-on counts | $100, being two broker logins and two subscriptions |
| Five accounts under one broker login | $39.99, because it bills per broker rather than per account | $50, all five on one subscription |
| A prop firm evaluation or funded futures account | Not a price question. Its own guides say an evaluation or funded prop account is not a path to connecting Autoview directly, simulation included | $50 on Tradovate, Rithmic or ProjectX, subject to your firm's rules on automation |
| Crypto, or a broker on its list we do not reach | $39.99 each, some connections included free, and one crypto venue free to trade live | Not offered at any price |

Why PickMyTrade
Evaluation and funded futures accounts work on the platforms we support, which is where most futures prop firms live. Autoview's own guides rule these out. Firms set their own rules on automation and copy trading, so confirm yours before you go live.
Tradovate connects by OAuth. There is no API Access subscription to buy and no live-account balance needed just to get a key. Tradovate FAQ.
Rithmic and ProjectX for futures, Interactive Brokers and Tradier for stocks and options, TradeLocker and Match-Trader for forex and CFDs. All on the same one plan, priced per broker login, so a second broker login is a second subscription. See the broker guides.
Send one alert and every selected account takes the trade at its own size, or run the Tradovate copier so follower accounts mirror an admin account with a quantity multiplier each. Multi-account guide.
Daily and weekly profit and loss limits on each account, trading-time windows, and a news filter on Tradovate. They are settings, not promises: set them to match your firm's rules. Risk settings.
The alert message is generated for you and the exits are dashboard settings: stop loss and take profit by points, percentage, price, ticks or total profit and loss, brackets and OCO, trailing on Tradovate and ProjectX, breakeven with an offset, partial close and reverse.
Switching
Start the free trial and connect your broker. Sign in to Tradovate with OAuth, or follow the guide for Rithmic, ProjectX, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, Tradier, TradeLocker or Match-Trader.
Rebuild the alert message. Generate it in the dashboard and paste it into your TradingView alert with the PickMyTrade webhook URL. Autoview commands do not carry across as they are: what lived on one command line now lives in the alert plus your account and exit settings.
Set accounts, sizing and exits. Choose which accounts receive the alert and at what size, then the stop loss, take profit and any trailing or breakeven rule. If you were sending one command per account, this is the step that replaces that work.
Test on a demo account, then switch one account at a time. Confirm the order at your broker before going live, and turn Autoview off for that account first, so only one tool is placing orders. If you keep Autoview for crypto, keep the two pointed at different accounts.
FAQ
For one venue that is not Tradovate, yes: $39.99 against $50 a month. For a Tradovate account, no, because Autoview's own guides require a paid Tradovate API Access add-on, which they report at around $25 to $30 a month, plus a live account above $1,000 before Tradovate issues the key. PickMyTrade connects by OAuth with neither.
No. PickMyTrade connects to Tradovate with OAuth, so there is no separate Tradovate API subscription and no key to generate. That is the single biggest cost difference between the two products on the one venue they both serve.
With PickMyTrade, yes, on the platforms it supports: any firm offering Tradovate, Rithmic or ProjectX accounts, including TopstepX. Autoview's own guides say an evaluation or funded prop account is not a path to connecting it directly, simulation included. Firms set their own rules on automation and copy trading, so check yours before going live.
No. PickMyTrade has no crypto on any plan, and nothing here is hedging that. Autoview reaches about sixteen crypto venues, one of them free to trade live, so for crypto it is the better tool and we will not pretend otherwise.
Yes, and it is in the $50 plan. On Tradovate, an admin account can be mirrored to follower accounts with a quantity multiplier for each one. Separately, a single alert can be routed to several accounts, each at its own size. Autoview's Tradovate command reference says one command drives one account and a separate command is needed per account.
One subscription covers unlimited accounts under one broker login. Five Apex accounts under a single Tradovate login all automate on one $50 subscription. If your accounts sit under separate broker logins, each login needs its own subscription, so two brokers means two subscriptions.
No, it is seven days, with no credit card and full access to the single plan. Autoview's comparison page says five days, which is the one plain error on an otherwise fair page, and we have asked for it to be corrected. You can start the trial, connect a broker and fire your own alert without entering a card.
