How mirroring works

The EA listens for executed offers on the hooked up MT5 chart image.
If filters go and the reproduction cap permits, it routes a market order to the present entrance tradable month of your chosen futures root.
It creates a sticky mapping so subsequent closes/reductions mirror accurately.
If Tradovate rejects an order, you’ll see a pink banner under the panels, e.g. Open mirror failed: TV reject which persists till a profitable mirror or EA re-init.

Prop-firm suggestions

Most prop corporations (together with Apex and comparable) implement day by day session guidelines and will drive flat at finish of day or throughout upkeep home windows. To adapt:

Favor breakout/flat-by-EOD methods over grid or holding in a single day.
Keep away from martingale sizing. It typically violates threat limits and might set off day by day loss or trailing thresholds.
Use Micro futures (MES/MNQ/MYM/FDXS/MGC) and set Mirror Qty = 1 till you’re snug.
Think about MAX Open Positions = 1–2 to restrict publicity.

Troubleshooting

Not linked / no account ID: affirm your credentials and that MT5 WebRequest is allowed to your Tradovate API host in Instruments → Choices → Professional Advisors.
No mirrors firing: verify Magic/Remark filters and MAX Open Positions cap.
Sizing off: keep in mind “Mirror Qty” is contracts, not CFD tons.
