Why Can't I Log In to My Trading Platform?
Get back to trading quickly with these login troubleshooting solutions. This guide covers the most common login issues across all Tradeify-supported platforms and provides step-by-step solutions to get you connected.
🔑 Credential Issues
Wrong Username or Password when accessing your Tradeify Dashboard
Double-Check Your Credentials
Find your credentials at the top of your dashboard
Copy and paste credentials (don't type manually)
Check for extra spaces at beginning or end
Verify capitalization - usernames often all lowercase
Look for special characters that might be confusing (0 vs O, 1 vs l)
Platform-Specific Credential Formats
Tradovate : Username and Password are located at the top of your tradeify dashboard once you login. Make sure you copy and paste them directly from there using the copy function to avoid spacing and typing issues.
TradingView Integration : Uses same credentials as direct Tradovate login - Must select "Demo" connection type - Case-sensitive for both username and password
NinjaTrader : Uses same credentials as direct Tradovate login - Must select "Demo" connection type - Case-sensitive for both username and password
Common Login Errors
"Failed Login" When Pasting Credentials into Tradovate
Some browsers convert the first character of your password to lowercase when pasting. This causes login to fail even though the password appears correct.
Solution: Type your password manually, or ensure the first character is uppercase after pasting.
"Fund Your Account" Message
If you see "Fund Your Account" after logging in, this means you logged into your personal Tradovate account instead of your Tradeify account.
Solution: Use the credentials displayed at the top of your Tradeify dashboard. These are different from any personal Tradovate account you may have.
Same Credentials for All Accounts
Your Tradeify username and password never change and work for all your Tradeify accounts.
The same credentials work for evaluations, sim funded, and live funded accounts
Select which account to trade from within the platform after logging in
You do not get new credentials when you pass an evaluation or receive a new account
Account Type Selection Issues
Common Selection Mistakes
Selecting "Live" instead of "Demo"
Solution : Select "Demo" or "Simulation" environment - This is correct for both Evaluations and Simulated Funded accounts, this applies for all brokers.
Password Reset
When You Need a New Password
Forgotten password : Contact Tradeify support
Suspected compromise : Immediate password change required
Multiple failed attempts : Account may be temporarily locked
This applies for both Dashboard and Broker
📊 Account Status Problems
Account Not Active
If you don't have any active accounts accessing to Tradovate/NinjaTrader/TradingView might be restricted. You will need an active account to access the broker.
How to Check Account Status
Log into Tradeify dashboard at main website. Once there, make sure account cards are visible (toggle off the "Hide Failed Accounts" button)
If all accounts are failed, you won't have access to the broker.
