PayoutPace

Getting started

7 steps, in the order you do them. It takes a few minutes, and you only do it once.

  1. 1Create your free account

    Create your free account. The welcome email has your license key.

  2. 2Add PayoutPace to Chrome

    Add PayoutPace to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store.

  3. 3Paste your license key

    Your license key is in your welcome email, and in Settings on your dashboard (payoutpace.com/app/settings).

    Open the extension, paste the key and click Save. Leave the other settings as they are.

  4. 4Set up your Tradovate workspace

    Download the PayoutPace layout

    1. Download the file. Just save it, you don't need to open it.
    2. In Tradovate, click the + at the top left.
    3. Under Workspace Templates, click "Import from file" and pick the file.
    4. Click the new "PayoutPace" template to switch to it. Your other workspaces stay as they are.

    This is for Tradovate (trader.tradovate.com). In NinjaTrader Web, add a Reports widget instead: click + on the right edge and drag Reports onto your workspace.

    Prefer to set it up yourself?

    1. 1. Add the Accounts module

      Click + at the top left of Tradovate and drag Accounts onto your workspace.

    2. 2. Add a Reports module

      Add a Reports module the same way. Any report type is fine: PayoutPace switches it to Account Balance History while reading and puts it back.

    3. 3. Add the columns

      In the Accounts module, click its gear icon and drag these into Visible:

      • Account and Cash Amount, required.
      • Dollar Open P L, recommended: it lets PayoutPace skip accounts with an open trade.
      • Dollar Total P L, recommended: it puts each day's P&L on the right date.
      • Drawdown Auto Liq Level, recommended: it shows distance to the drawdown floor.
      • Max Net Liq and Trailing Max, recommended for trailing drawdown accounts: they let PayoutPace tell a drawdown breach from a daily loss lock.

    4. 4. That's it

      Tradovate remembers the layout, so this is one time per login. The extension checks this and shows the same checklist if something is missing.

  5. 5Open Tradovate and click PayoutPace

    Open Tradovate and click the green PayoutPace button at the bottom right. Don't see it? Turn off your ad blocker for trader.tradovate.com and refresh.

  6. 6Pick each firm and program, then Apply

    Pick each account's firm and program once, check the targets, and click Apply. Other accounts whose IDs start the same way fill in automatically.

    On the first run, PayoutPace reads each account's past results once (about 15 to 20 seconds per account). It's read-only, and it's how PayoutPace knows your best day and consistency so far.
