A PickMyTrade alternative that isn't another cloud.
PickMyTrade forwards your TradingView alerts to your broker through its servers. BridgePit does the same job with no servers in the middle: a desktop app on your own machine executes the alert, the order leaves from your own IP, and your broker login never leaves your computer. Same alerts — different architecture.
The one difference that decides it.
Cloud relay — PickMyTrade
Local execution — BridgePit
Why funded traders care: several prop firms prohibit cloud-based copiers and VPS execution in their agreements. Rules differ by firm and change — always check your firm's current policy yourself.
Side by side.
| BridgePit | PickMyTrade | |

| Needs your computer on | Yes, during your trading hours — that's what "your own IP" means | No |
| Alert format | Compatible. BridgePit accepts PickMyTrade-format alerts unchanged | |
PickMyTrade pricing and account terms read from pickmytrade.io on July 20, 2026. Your prop firm sets its own API-access fee for a direct connection, paid to the firm directly — not to us.
When PickMyTrade is the better pick.
Honest answer, because it's also our sales filter: if you run many accounts on their flat $50, need a broker we don't support yet, or want nothing running at home — machine off, cloud does everything — PickMyTrade fits you better today. BridgePit exists for one trader specifically: the one whose income depends on a funded account and who doesn't want their execution living on someone else's IP.
Switching takes one URL change.
- Install BridgePit and follow the 20-minute setup — it ends with a paper fill on your screen.
- Edit each TradingView alert: replace the PickMyTrade webhook URL with yours ending in
/v2/add-trade-data. The message body stays exactly as it is. - Watch a day of paper fills, then cancel the old subscription when you trust what you see.
Questions traders ask.
Can I keep my existing alert format?
Yes — BridgePit reads the PickMyTrade message format natively. One URL edit per alert, nothing else.
Is BridgePit fully automated?
Semi-automated by design: it executes, you supervise. Kill-switch, caps, daily loss stop, and end-of-day flatten are always on.
Is local execution allowed at my prop firm?
BridgePit runs on your own computer and sends orders from your own IP — no cloud server between your signals and your broker. Rules differ by firm and change, so always check your firm's current policy.
What if my internet drops mid-position?
BridgePit reconnects continuously and alerts you by email and Telegram; the end-of-day flatten retries until your account is confirmed flat.
