TradeDay: Automation, APIs & copy trading
▶TradeDay Automation Rules: No APIs, Bots, or Copy Trading — 38s explainer, decoded by FundedWiki
Automation is allowed only on supported platforms (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, TradingView, Jigsaw, Quantower). No platform APIs are exposed, so external bridge tools (TradersPost, CrossTrade) don't work. Third-party purchased bots are forbidden — you may build/run your own native automation. Copy/coordinated trading is banned: if multiple users place the same trades, all accounts are shut down.
The gotcha
No APIs means popular bridge tools won't connect, and buying a third-party bot is prohibited even on supported platforms.
What happens if you break it
Breaching this voids the account outright — the evaluation or funded account is terminated and any unrealised profit is forfeited. It's the most severe class of breach.
