Not for High-Frequency Trading
FirmGated is built for event-driven automation — not sub-second scalping or high-frequency strategies.
Documentation
What to test before you go live.
Use this page before routing alerts into a funded or live account. Confirm your broker connection, prop account details, Target-Lock rules, and alert format first.
Trader checklist
Do not send a strategy straight to a funded account because the alert looks correct. Prove the route, prove the account rules, then scale.
Better with a Complete Setup
Prop Firm Account controls work best when your broker, prop account, and account ID are all connected. Missing info shows up as alerts — never silent failures.
Some Features in Early Access
Not every broker connection in the directory is self-serve yet. Early access means planned — not guaranteed immediately.
Always Test First
Test new strategies, broker connections, and protection settings on a paper or evaluation account before going live.
| Area | Status | Trader action |
|---|---|---|
| Receiving signals | Validated, rate-limited, and recorded. | Use unique IDs in your signals to keep duplicate prevention working. |
| Prop Firm Account controls | Works best when your firm name, account phase, and account ID are all connected. | Clear any unknown rule alerts before scaling up. |
| Connecting brokers | Not every broker in the directory is available for self-serve connection yet. | Early access brokers are coming — they're not available for everyone yet. |
| Your dashboard | Notifications, protection rules, alerts, and trade history are all live. | Use the platform to verify your automation is working before going live. |
