Complete step-by-step guide to automate your MNQ Primo signals using TradersPost and any compatible broker
TradersPost is a webhook automation platform that connects trading signals to your broker and executes trades automatically. It acts as the middleman between MNQ Primo signals and your trading account.
With TradersPost, you don't have to monitor charts or manually execute signals. Signals arrive, TradersPost automatically places the order at your broker, and you can focus on other things. It's the bridge between signal generation and order execution.
TradersPost is a third-party service. MNQ Primo does not own or operate TradersPost. You'll need to create a separate account and understand TradersPost's terms. Always test with paper trading or small position sizes first.
TradersPost offers a free tier for basic webhook automation. Paid plans ($30-50/month) include advanced features. For MNQ Primo signals, the free plan is sufficient to get started.
TradersPost needs API credentials from your broker to place orders. The setup varies by broker:
Never share your API tokens. TradersPost will use them securely to place orders on your behalf. Use Sandbox/Paper trading first to test before going live.
Other brokers (Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader, TD Ameritrade) have similar setup flows. Check TradersPost documentation for your specific broker.
Once your bot is created, you'll see configuration options:
https://api.traderspost.io/webhooks/abc123def456...
Once configured, MNQ Primo will send signals to your TradersPost webhook. TradersPost receives the signal (buy/sell, contract, quantity) and automatically sends an order to your broker.
Before trading with real money, test your setup with paper trading (sandbox mode). This verifies the webhook connection works and orders execute correctly.
After signals are sent, check:
Live trading means real money is at risk. Start with small position sizes (1 contract). Monitor your account during the first few live trades. Only increase position size once you're comfortable with the execution.
Check your TradersPost dashboard and broker account regularly to monitor orders, positions, and P&L. Set alerts on your broker so you know when trades execute.
Check: 1) Is your bot enabled? 2) Is the broker connection active? 3) Is there sufficient account balance/margin? 4) Check TradersPost logs for error messages. 5) Verify webhook URL is correctly saved in MNQ Primo.
Check your bot settings. The "Quantity" field in TradersPost controls how many contracts are ordered. Adjust to 1 if you only want 1 contract per signal.
The webhook URL should be permanent. If TradersPost is regenerating it, try recreating the bot or contacting TradersPost support. Once stable, save it in MNQ Primo.
Make sure TradersPost is configured to exit on opposite signals. Some bots require explicit "exit" signals. Check your bot's exit strategy in TradersPost settings.
Verify your broker API credentials are correct and the API token hasn't expired. Some brokers require API access to be explicitly enabled. Check your broker's settings.
Make sure your TradersPost bot is configured for the correct contract symbol (MNQ or NQ). Also verify your broker offers this contract. Some brokers have different symbol names (e.g., /MNQ vs MNQ).
TradersPost has a free tier for basic webhook automation (perfect for MNQ Primo). Paid plans ($30-50/month) include advanced features. For getting started, the free tier is sufficient.
Yes! TradersPost supports 50+ brokers including Tradier, Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader, TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, and many others. The setup process is similar across brokers.
Yes. Many traders use paper trading for weeks or months to understand the signals before committing real capital. Paper trading with TradersPost works identically to live trading.
If TradersPost is unavailable, signals won't be executed automatically. This is why paper trading and small position sizes are important for testing. Consider it a risk of automation and start small.
Yes. You can always manually close positions, adjust stops, or modify orders directly from your broker. TradersPost executes signals, but you maintain full control.
TradersPost is a popular choice for signal automation. It's reliable and easy to set up. However, we don't endorse any specific platform. Evaluate options that work for your broker and needs. Alternative: build your own webhook collector.
Follow the steps above to automate your MNQ Primo signals. Start with paper trading, then go live when you're ready.
