A TradersPost alternative that isn't another cloud.
TradersPost's own TradingView page says it plainly: send them the webhook, they send the order to your broker. BridgePit does the same job with no servers of ours in the middle: a desktop app on your Mac executes the alert, the order leaves from your own IP, and your broker login never leaves your computer. Same idea - different machine.
The one difference that decides it.
Cloud relay - TradersPost
Local execution - BridgePit
Why funded traders care: firm rules on automation and third-party tools differ and change - some firms prohibit automation entirely. Always check your firm's current policy yourself. We never claim a firm has approved BridgePit.
Side by side.
| BridgePit | TradersPost | |
|---|---|---|
| Where execution runs | Your own machine, your own IP | Their cloud, their IP |
| Your broker login | Encrypted on your computer, never sent to us | Connected in their app so they can send the order |
| Price | Paper free now · Live $49/mo (1 account), coming soon · Multi coming | Starter $41.65/mo billed yearly · 7-day trial · extra live accounts $10/mo |
| Brokers | Rithmic-based prop firms (supported firms announced at launch) | Tradovate, NinjaTrader, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, plus stocks, options and crypto venues |
| What it trades | Futures through Rithmic, on the Mac | Stocks, options, futures, crypto - more asset classes, more brokers |
| Safety rails | Kill-switch, daily loss stop, position caps, duplicate rejection, EOD auto-flatten - enforced on your machine | Strategy subscriptions, manual or live auto-submit; see their docs |
| Needs your computer on | Yes - lid open, on the internet, during your hours | No. That is their edge. |
| Alert format | BridgePit JSON (and PickMyTrade-format alerts) | Their own JSON (ticker, action). Not a one-URL swap. |
TradersPost pricing and broker list read from traderspost.io/pricing and traderspost.io/signals/tradingview on August 20, 2026. Their words on TradingView: "Simply send us alert webhooks and we will take care of sending the orders to your broker." Your prop firm sets its own API-access fee for a direct connection, paid to the firm directly - not to us.
When TradersPost is the better pick.
If you trade stocks, options or crypto, need a broker we do not support yet, want the machine off while they keep placing, or want one dashboard across many brokers - TradersPost fits you better today. BridgePit exists for one trader: the funded-futures trader who wants the order to leave from their own Mac and their own IP.
Moving over.
- Install BridgePit and follow the full setup guide - it ends with a paper fill on your screen.
- Write a new TradingView alert body from the app. TradersPost JSON is not the same as ours, so this is not a URL-only swap.
- Watch a day of paper fills, then drop the old webhook when you trust what you see.
Questions traders ask.
Do I keep my TradersPost alert as-is?
No. Their payload is their own. You paste the block BridgePit writes, and you point the webhook at your Mac. Paper first.
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. Rules differ by firm and change, so always check your firm's current policy. We never claim approval on your behalf.
What if my internet drops mid-position?
Nothing trades while it is down. TradingView cannot reach the Mac, and the Mac cannot reach the broker. If you set a stop on that strategy, it is already at the broker. When the connection returns, flatten retries until the account is confirmed flat.
