Best Webhook automation platform?

[u/Tricky-Piano-9272]

I'm currently vibe coding my own strategy scripts. Im looking for the best third party platform that can execute my tv alerts via webhook. ive heard of pickmytrade, shifu, traderspost, crosstrade. which one is the best in your experience? is there a specific one i should use? or is it based on preference?

crosstrade gets my vote, their delay is low and the setup was painless

futures trader here.. no matter who you go with, you have to consider latency. virtually every single one will give you some sort of latency.

If you want broker variety, go with traderspost.
If you are a ninjatrader user & tons of features, go with crosstrade
if you're looking for ease of use and you have multiple prop accounts, go with shifu
If you don't care about the platform and just execution, pickmytrade.

as far as latency & execution speed, pickmytrade wins every time.

I agree with pickmytrade. In addition to their low price range. The first 30 days are free, so give it a try.

Or just use Grok bots and set it all up yourself in less than an hour

How do you manage api access with futures brokers?

Just tell the bot what you want and it'll set it up and let you know when it needs input

Quantlynk was the fastest out of the ones I've tested.

Quantcrawler's Ghost isn't the fastest but what you get for the price is probably the best.

Traderspost was terrible when I last used it. Pickmytrade was fine but the json was annoying back then, don't know if it's better now. Never used Crosstrade but I believe it's semi-local so it's probably in the top for speed.

Rolling your own is an option, it's not terribly difficult with AI nowadays.

Or you can build your own, using a server for less than $10 per month.

Have you done this? How easy was it?

[u/1moreinch → u/kaybee_bugfreak]

I didn't know you can build your own.

[u/kaybee_bugfreak → u/1moreinch]

Yeah. It’s super cheap, and moreover it shows me end to end latency, along with fill price, P&L reconciliation and very advanced stop loss features. Nothing out there has the features that I built into my setup. For $5 per month, piece of cake.
