Known limitations

There are platform-specific and general limitations to consider when using Tradesyncer. These limitations may affect synchronization and overall functionality during trading.

  • Unavailable Advanced Strategies within ATM (automated trade management)

    The following advanced strategies are not supported within ATM:

    • Multi Bracket (Multi TP and SL)

    • Stop Limit
      Note: Stop-limit orders are not the same as regular stop (market) orders used for stop losses. Tradesyncer does support the standard stop orders used for stop losses. This limitation applies specifically to stop-limit orders.

    • Trail.Stop

    • Trail.Stop Limit

    • Auto Breakeven

    • Auto Trail

    • Auto Breakeven + Auto Trail

  • Stop Limit Orders: Stop-limit orders are not the same as the regular stop (market) orders used for stop losses. Tradesyncer does support the regular stop orders you use for your stop loss. This limitiation is specifically about Stop Limits

  • Trailing stop orders: Dynamic stop-loss orders that adjust with the market are not available (Manually modifying and trailing is supported).

  • Trailing stop limit orders: A combination of trailing stops with limit conditions is unsupported (Manually modifying and trailing is supported).

  • Dragging Stop Orders:

    Dragging Stop Orders (for example, moving a Buy Stop order from above the last traded price to below it so that it executes instantly) is not supported.

    This is because most brokers do not allow this type of behavior with stop orders.

    Traders who manage orders directly from their charts, such as in TradingView or ProjectX often use drag-and-drop adjustments for open orders.

    However, this functionality depends on the broker’s integration and is not consistently supported across all providers.

    In contrast, dragging Limit Orders is generally supported by most brokers and data providers (including Tradovate/NT, ProjectX, DxFeed, and Rithmic):

    • Dragging a Limit Buy order from below the last price to above it will typically execute instantly.

    • Dragging a Limit Sell order from above the last price to below it will also execute instantly.

    This limitation applies only to Stop Orders—dragging and instant execution behavior is not supported for these order types.

  • ProjectX Live account as leader: At this stage, Tradesyncer does not support using a ProjectX Live account as a leader

By understanding these known limitations, you can better navigate Tradesyncer. The development team is actively working to expand the functionalities in future updates. For now, use the software within these guidelines to ensure a smoother trading experience.
