Does FundedNext support TradingView webhook automation?
Yes, webhook automation permitted for personal trader-owned strategies.

How do I connect FundedNext Tradovate to PickMyTrade?
Go to pickmytrade.trade, add Tradovate as your broker connection, authenticate with your FundedNext-issued Tradovate credentials, then use Generate Alert to get your JSON and webhook URL. Paste the webhook URL into your TradingView alert and the JSON into the alert message. Full setup guide: https://docs.pickmytrade.trade/docs/automating-tradingview-strategies-with-pickmytrade/
How do I connect FundedNext to PickMyTrade via TradeLocker?
If FundedNext issues you a TradeLocker account, go to pickmytrade.io, add TradeLocker as your broker, enter your TradeLocker credentials and server name, then generate your webhook URL and JSON to paste into TradingView. Setup guide: https://docs.pickmytrade.io/docs/connect-tradelocker-with-pickmytrade/
How do I connect FundedNext to PickMyTrade via Match-Trader?
Go to pickmytrade.io, add Match-Trader as your broker connection, and authenticate with your FundedNext-issued Match-Trader credentials. Then use Generate Alert to get your JSON configuration and webhook URL. Paste the webhook URL into your TradingView alert and the JSON into the alert message. Match-Trader supports forex, CFDs, indices, and metals. Full setup guide: https://docs.pickmytrade.io/docs/match-trader-tradingview-strategy-automation/
Does FundedNext allow copy trading between my own accounts?
Yes, same-direction copy across your own FundedNext accounts is allowed. With PickMyTrade's Manual Trade Copier, you can copy trades from one FundedNext account to multiple FundedNext accounts simultaneously. For Tradovate to Tradovate copy trading specifically, this works within the same platform. Always check the FundedNext website for the latest compliance rules, as policies can change. Cross-trader copying is banned. Guide: https://docs.pickmytrade.trade/docs/automating-tradingview-watchlist-symbols-in-pickmytrade/
Is signal copying / signal-service trading allowed?
No. Rented signals, paid signal services, copying from another trader's account, all banned across plans.
Does using PMT or any third-party tool void my payout?
No, as long as PMT is acting as an execution bridge for your own strategies. Banned tools are signal services and rented EAs that route external signals onto your account. PickMyTrade is used by thousands of traders on FundedNext and other prop firms. That said, using any third-party tool on a funded account always carries a small amount of risk. Always verify the current rules directly with FundedNext, as policies can change. PMT does not guarantee compliance or trade outcomes.
Can I run a Python or Pine Script bot on FundedNext through PMT?
Yes, TradingView Pine Script sends alerts via webhook to PMT, which routes them to FundedNext (Tradovate for futures, TradeLocker for forex). Python scripts can also trigger trades by sending an HTTP POST request to your PMT webhook URL with the configured JSON payload. That said, PickMyTrade is a no-code platform, so you do not need to write or deploy any Python code. The recommended path is TradingView directly to your broker through PMT. Running a Python bot yourself means managing a 24/7 server deployment, dealing with potential symbol scanning blocks on cloud providers, uptime issues, and ongoing maintenance. With PickMyTrade, all of that is handled for you.
