✅ Why Use TradersPost?

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.

Prerequisites

✅ Before You Start, You'll Need:

  1. MNQ Primo Account (free trial or paid subscription)
  2. TradersPost Account (free tier available at www.traderspost.io)
  3. Broker Account with API access (Tradier, Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader, etc.)
  4. Futures Contract Access to trade MNQ or NQ at your broker
  5. Trading Capital ($5k+ for MNQ, $25k+ for NQ recommended)

⚠️ Important Notes

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.

Step 1: Create Your TradersPost Account

🔑 Sign Up at TradersPost

  1. Visit www.traderspost.io
  2. Click "Sign Up" and enter your email
  3. Create a strong password
  4. Verify your email address
  5. Log in to your TradersPost dashboard

💡 TradersPost Plans

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.

Step 2: Connect Your Broker to TradersPost

TradersPost needs API credentials from your broker to place orders. The setup varies by broker:

📱 Example: Connect Tradier

  1. Log in to your Tradier account at tradier.com
  2. Go to API Settings → Create API Token
  3. Copy your API token (keep it secret)
  4. In TradersPost, click "Brokers" → "Add Broker"
  5. Select "Tradier" from the list
  6. Paste your API token and select Sandbox or Live
  7. Click "Save" and verify the connection

🔒 API Credential Security

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.

Step 3: Create Your MNQ Primo Trading Bot

🤖 Create a New Bot in TradersPost

  1. In TradersPost dashboard, click "Bots" → "Create Bot"
  2. Name it "MNQ Primo" (or similar)
  3. Select your connected broker
  4. Choose "Webhook" as the signal source
  5. Select the trading account (sandbox or live)
  6. Click "Create Bot"

💡 Bot Settings to Configure

Once your bot is created, you'll see configuration options:

  • Contract: MNQ (Micro E-mini) or NQ (full-size)
  • Quantity: Number of contracts per signal (usually 1-2)
  • Take Profit: Optional - set if you want to lock in gains at a specific price
  • Stop Loss: Optional - TradersPost can set hard stops
  • Account Type: Sandbox (paper) for testing, Live for real trading

Step 4: Get Your Webhook URL

🔗 Copy Your Webhook URL

  1. In your TradersPost bot, look for "Webhook URL"
  2. Copy the full URL (it will look like: https://api.traderspost.io/webhooks/...)
  3. Save it somewhere safe - you'll need it next
💡 Your webhook URL will be something like:
https://api.traderspost.io/webhooks/abc123def456...

Step 5: Add Webhook URL to MNQ Primo

⚙️ Configure MNQ Primo

  1. Log in to your MNQ Primo customer portal
  2. Go to Account Settings → Webhooks or Integration
  3. Paste your TradersPost webhook URL
  4. Save the webhook URL
  5. You should see "Webhook Verified" or similar confirmation

✅ What Happens Next

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.

Step 6: Test with Paper Trading

⚠️ CRITICAL: Always test first!

Before trading with real money, test your setup with paper trading (sandbox mode). This verifies the webhook connection works and orders execute correctly.

🧪 Paper Trading Test Steps

  1. Make sure your TradersPost bot is set to "Sandbox" or "Paper" account
  2. Wait for an MNQ Primo signal during market hours
  3. Check TradersPost dashboard - you should see the signal received
  4. Verify an order was placed in your broker's sandbox account
  5. Check the entry price matches the signal
  6. When the opposite signal arrives, verify the position was closed
  7. Review the paper trade P&L

💡 What to Look For

After signals are sent, check:

  • ✓ TradersPost received the signal
  • ✓ Order was placed at correct broker
  • ✓ Entry price is reasonable
  • ✓ Opposite signal closes the position
  • ✓ No errors in TradersPost logs

Step 7: Switch to Live Trading

🚀 Enable Live Trading

  1. Once paper trading works, go to your TradersPost bot settings
  2. Change account type from "Sandbox" to "Live"
  3. Confirm you have sufficient capital in your live account
  4. Save the changes
  5. Next signal will execute on your live account

⚠️ Live Trading Risk

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.

📊 Monitoring Your Live Account

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.

Troubleshooting

Signal received but no order placed +

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.

Order placed but at wrong quantity +

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.

Webhook URL keeps changing +

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.

Position not closing on exit signal +

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.

API connection keeps failing +

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.

Getting "Invalid contract" error +

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).

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does TradersPost cost? +

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.

Can I use TradersPost with a different broker? +

Yes! TradersPost supports 50+ brokers including Tradier, Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader, TD Ameritrade, E*TRADE, and many others. The setup process is similar across brokers.

Can I use paper trading indefinitely? +

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.

What if TradersPost goes down? +

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.

Can I manually override TradersPost trades? +

Yes. You can always manually close positions, adjust stops, or modify orders directly from your broker. TradersPost executes signals, but you maintain full control.

Do you recommend TradersPost? +

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.
