Feature comparison
| Feature | Atomik | TradersPost |
|---|---|---|
| Asset classes | Futures: CME products such as ES, NQ, MES and MNQ | Stocks, options, futures and crypto. How many asset classes you can automate depends on the plan |
| Brokers | Tradovate and TopstepX, plus a built-in paper broker | 18 listed, including Tradovate, ProjectX, NinjaTrader, Interactive Brokers, TradeStation, tastytrade, Alpaca, Robinhood, Coinbase and Binance |
| Prop firm accounts | Firms that issue a Tradovate login connect like any Tradovate account. TopstepX connects directly with an API key | 29 prop firms listed, connected through Tradovate and ProjectX |
| TradingView webhooks | Yes, including partial exits (25%, 50%, then the rest) from the alert comment | Yes, with unlimited tickers and trades on paid plans |
| Strategy builder and backtesting | Built in. Describe a strategy and the AI Strategy Builder writes the code, then run tick-accurate backtests on historical futures data. Included on every plan | No built-in backtester on their pricing page; their AI traders page points to backtesting in charting tools such as TradingView or TrendSpider. Pro and Premium plans include strategy templates |
| Copy trading across accounts | Leader/follower copy groups on Pro and Elite. Trades in a Tradovate leader account, manual or automated, are copied to follower accounts, each with its own size ratio (0.1x to 10x) and optional position cap. Followers flatten when the leader goes flat | One strategy runs on every account subscribed to it, with position sizing set per account |
| Daily loss and profit limits | Per Tradovate account: a daily max loss and/or max profit in dollars. When one is hit, Atomik flattens and locks the account for the session, or blocks new entries. Limits can be committed for up to a month so they can't be loosened mid-drawdown | Stop-loss and take-profit orders, position sizing, and pausing automation. Daily loss limits aren't mentioned on their prop firm page as of September 15, 2026 |
| Strategy marketplace | Subscribe to strategies on any plan, or sell your own on a paid plan. Listing stats are recorded by Atomik from each strategy's live signals, not uploaded backtests | Not listed on their pricing page as of September 15, 2026 |
| AI assistants (MCP) | MCP connector: build, validate, backtest and save strategies from Claude or another MCP-compatible AI assistant | Accepts signals from any AI agent that can send an HTTP request. An MCP server isn't mentioned on their AI traders page as of September 15, 2026 |
| Paper trading | Built-in paper broker on live market data. The free plan runs strategies on paper with no card | Built-in paper broker. 7 days of free paper trading, and paper accounts included with paid plans |
| Pricing model | Flat monthly plans with live accounts included: Starter $89 (3 accounts), Pro $129 (10 accounts), Elite $349 (25 accounts). No per-account fees. No free trial; 7-day money-back guarantee | Tiered plans from $49/mo (Starter: 1 live account, 1 asset class). Extra live accounts $10/mo each, extra paper accounts $5/mo each |
Atomik marketplace stats are per contract at each live signal's price, before commissions and slippage.
What it costs as you add accounts
Monthly price on each platform for the same number of live broker accounts.
| Live accounts | TradersPost | Atomik | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $49/moStarter | $89/moStarter | TradersPost is $40/mo less |
| 3 | $69/moStarter + 2 extra | $89/moStarter | TradersPost is $20/mo less |
| 5 | $89/moStarter + 4 extra | $129/moPro | TradersPost is $40/mo less |
| 10 | $139/moStarter + 9 extra | $129/moPro | Atomik is $10/mo less |
| 25 | $289/moStarter + 24 extra | $349/moElite | TradersPost is $60/mo less |
TradersPost figures are their Starter plan ($49/mo, one asset class) plus $10/mo per extra live account, the lowest-cost way to reach each count on their pricing page. Atomik figures are the smallest plan that includes that many live accounts.
Monthly billing. Both discount yearly billing: about 15% at TradersPost, and about 17% on Atomik Starter and Pro (Elite is monthly only).
The prices aren't like-for-like. Atomik's include leader/follower copy trading (Pro and Elite), daily loss limits, the AI Strategy Builder with backtests, and the strategy marketplace. TradersPost's pricing page doesn't list those, and it covers more brokers and asset classes.

When TradersPost is the better choice
- You automate stocks, options or crypto, not only futures.
- Your broker isn't Tradovate or TopstepX: for example Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader, TradeStation, tastytrade, Alpaca or Robinhood.
- You only need signals executed and want the lower monthly price, which TradersPost has at most account counts.
- Your prop firm isn't reachable through Tradovate or TopstepX. TradersPost lists 29 firms across Tradovate and ProjectX.
- You want to approve each trade before it's sent. TradersPost offers manual approval as well as auto-submit.
When Atomik is the better choice
- You trade futures on several prop or funded accounts and want one leader account copied to the rest, with sizing and a position cap per account.
- You want a daily loss limit that flattens and locks the account when it's hit, and that you can't loosen in the middle of a bad day.
- Your strategy isn't in code yet. Describe it, let AI write it, backtest it on historical futures data, run it on paper, then go live, all in one place.
- You run about 10 accounts: Pro covers 10 live accounts for $129/mo with copy trading included.
- You want to follow or sell strategies whose stats come from live signals rather than backtests.
Frequently asked questions
Is Atomik cheaper than TradersPost?
Usually not. On monthly billing, TradersPost's Starter plan plus $10/mo per extra live account costs less at most account counts. Atomik matches or beats it only at 9 accounts (both $129/mo) and 10 accounts (Atomik Pro is $10/mo less). The prices aren't like-for-like: Atomik's include leader/follower copy trading (Pro and Elite), daily loss limits, AI strategy building with backtests, and the strategy marketplace.
Does Atomik work with TopstepX and other prop firm accounts?
Yes. TopstepX accounts connect directly with an API key, which needs an API-access subscription from Topstep, and one key brings in every account behind it. Firms that issue a Tradovate login connect like any Tradovate account. Check that your firm allows automation before you connect.
Can I copy trades across multiple funded accounts?
Yes, on Atomik Pro and Elite. Pick a Tradovate leader account, and every trade it takes, manual or automated, is copied to your follower accounts, each with its own size ratio and optional position cap. TradersPost works differently: you subscribe several accounts to one strategy, and each signal runs on all of them with sizing set per account.
Does TradersPost have backtesting?
Their pricing page doesn't list a built-in backtester as of September 15, 2026, and their AI traders page points to backtesting in charting tools such as TradingView or TrendSpider. Atomik includes tick-accurate backtests on historical futures data on every plan, including the free one.
Can I try Atomik for free?
Yes. The free plan is paper trading only and needs no card: build strategies with AI, backtest them, and run one on a paper account. Paid plans have no free trial. You get full access right away with a 7-day money-back guarantee.
Try Atomik on paper first
Build or connect a strategy and run it on a paper account for free. When you're ready for a real account, every paid plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee.
